I’m in Mid-City so my suggestions will show favor to my area.
Parkway(poboys)
Toups(meat and chef’s personality)
Rosedale(I love spicer)
Mo-pho(viet)
Katie’s/mandinas/liuzzas(both Bienville and by the track) for New Orleans neighborhood fare.
Lunch specials at fiorellas(gentilly)
Brightsens in the riverbed is great
I like Mid-City pizza (reopened on banks)
Cafe Navarre does a solid breakfast
I’ll second gw fins. Maybe my favorite restraunt in the city.
