Food scene
Great food and absinthe. It can be a bit formal for dinner, but I like to step in for lunch and sit at the bar, for a more casual experience.
Try the Spaghetti.

It's latin (Colombian) and not a traditional New Orleans / southern-style cuisine, but easily one of my favorite restaurants nearby. Can walk over from the Condo, but it does get busy for dinner.
