Sudana: Try the chicken yassa with couscous. Akara is good too.
Chris Davidson: The Kone Ni Makando [sic?] has shrimp & cauliflower, broccoli, & carrots in a great broth. Highly recommend to eat with couscous.
Serious Eats: An untouristy spot in the French Quarter, this West African cafe prepares food with bold flavors and moderate prices. Ginger fans, don't miss the gingero drink, a spicy relative of ginger beer.

Angie Pankosky: The couscous with duck cracklins, Brussels sprouts and pommes frites!! Best food in New Orleans so far and the music is awesome
Joanna Kamien: Absolute must-haves are the cheese plate, Korean style wings, pork belly, bacon wrapped dates, and the sangria!
Eater: The focus here is on the music as much as the food—both are great—making it a quintessential New Orleans experience. [Eater 38 Member]

Andrew C: Absolutely amazing... pita was freshly made and was brought to table constantly!!! So many of the dips and mezze plates and hummus were omg spectacular + lamb entree was beyond perfect
Angela San Telmo Loft: Excellent Middle Eastern food. A unique flair. Modern. Light. Sophisticated. Different. It's the Middle Eastern flavors you want and love but way interesting in terms of flavor & presentation.
Kathryn D: Reservations required. The three or five- dip options plus a hummus are enough to make a meal for two. Vegetarian options galore.

History Museum · Central Business District · 258 tips and reviews
Ryan Eugene: Rated one of the best museums in the country, WWII is in a class of its own. There are enough artifacts to last you a visit (or two) and the dining options will keep you there throughout the day.
HISTORY: The museum opened its doors on June 6 2000, the 56th anniversary of D-Day. The museum is located here because this is where the "Higgins Boats", vital to D-Day operations were designed, built & tested
Erin Keefe: make sure to watch the movie, you won't be disappointed!
