-They have the most amazing wine and cheese selections.
-You pick what you want, and you have the option of sitting in their huge outdoor yard. There are a handful of places in New Orleans that do something similar...but no one does it quiet as well as Bacchanal.
-They also have an amazing menu if you choose to dine. They recently added an indoor restaurant area and bar...and they make great craft cocktails.

This is a cool little place. Think Parlor rooms, and gorgeous outdoor seating overlooking St. Charles. They have one of the greatest happy hours in the city. Service is not the best, but if you can overlook that, this is a great place to hangout. I prefer this place when it's not busy. It can be a lovely place to indulge in a book while sipping on a cocktail.

This place truly represents what makes New Orleans great. Here you have a very chill dive atmosphere with bar patrons from all walks of life...and yet the tapas here can compete with some of the best restaurants in New Orleans. If you're a foodie, put this on your list of must-do. It's pretty affordable and won't set you back like some of the other foodie-type places I listed.

If you want your typical American-style type breakfast...this is possibly a good option. Ruby Slippers, Katies, Canal street bistro and others listed below are better options in my opinion...however they are not as traditional as Betsy's.

I've taken tons of people here, and everyone seems to like it. If your'e looking for a budget friendly place in the French Quarter that can provide standard-quality New Orleans food...then this will hit the spot. It's also really close to Frenchmen so you can follow dinner with some jazz.

The one on Freret is my favorite, and there's also one on Magazine that I prefer. However, for convenience this location is good. Trust me, these are not your average hot dogs. If your'e looking for yummy comfort food or need something in your stomach after having a drink too many...this is the place.

I'm a few blocks away from the Jeff Davis trail which takes you to city park. If you have a bike...this is a beautiful ride along the bayou. If you're a walker or a jogger...this offers a lovely walk/jog. I walk to city park all the time. You can also take the Carrollton street car if you don't want to walk or bike.
