NOLA - so where's the best place for a shrimp poboy

[Cie]

Yes sir, can you meet up for dinner or even drinks? ...

Wife's birthday is Saturday, so I am booked all day and night. Friday night, I can get out for some beverages maybe even dinner. Sunday, I am available all day. Will probably start with brunch and go from there.

Jack has my number. Looking forward to meeting up w/ you guys....

Had a great shrimp and oyster PoBoy at Parkway Tavern 2 weeks a go. And a great time at that. Said Rod Stewart had just left there a half hour before. Also had Brunch across from Harrahs in a Hotel that had 25 cent martinis. Was drunk at 2 pm, sheesh!!

Parway is a local favorite. Great place. Roast Beef is very good there also.

If you had more time, Ugly Dog is a great stop for lunch but off the beaten path...

Jack, not sure how much of a "foodie" you are but my fave restaurant is called Brightsen's..It's uptown and a short walk from the streetcar - which is always a nice New Orleans-y thing to do. Totally casual, incredible food! Also for po-boys a new place that has opened up on magazine street is called Mahoney's. Their shrimp po-boy with freid green tomatoes and remoulade sauce is worth the trip. Quite possibly the best shrimp po-boy is had at Domilise's which is also uptowna nd a cab ride away..since you're downtown the nAcme is loads of fun, with TV's to watch games and the charbroiled oysters are a winnah as someone else in this thread eluded too! ALSO JOHNNY'S PO-BOYS IN THE FRENCH QUARTER makes a great po-boy..If you're looking for good food in the quarter try Bayonna...I know you'll have a blast..WHO DAT'S roll! It's karma time for the city of New Orleans to get what they deserve...something to give the people of that city a reason to feel good besides mardi gras and Jazz fest. New Orleans gonna win the Super Bowl! GEAUX SAINTS!:mj06:

I love Brigtsen's. It was Dick Schapp's favorite restaurant in NOLA, and he was known as a bigtime foodie.

Mahoney's is very good too. I normally go with the fried green tomato and shrimp remoulade po-boy. The owner was sous chef at RioMar, which is another favorite of mine.

Staying Hilton Riverside. Is that walking distance to the action?

Yes and no. But its within walking distance to Harrahs.

I think the Hilton is about a mile from the Superdome maybe a little longer.

I think he means is Hilton close the French Quarter, Harrah', etc. As you indicated, it is. The dome is roughly a mile, as it is a 10 minute walk down Poydras, or a 2 minute cab ride.

French Quarter is correct. No interest in and highly unlikely I visit Harrahs.

We'll go over the place to meet but walking to the dome is not a problem.

Nole can stick that tank up....

when he said "Action" i thought he was referring to the game. Silly me didnt know he was looking for Bourbon St and the real "Action"

Why no Harrahs?

Im pretty sure there are poker games there.
