Where to eat late on a Thursday night

[Tubulus]

Coming down for jazzfest and trying to find a good place to start our New Orleans odyssey on Thursday night. We are arriving on a late flight, so trying to find somewhere to eat in the downtown/french quarter area 11pm or later. A lot of places that I've seen mentioned for late night, like Desire, close at 10:30. Any ideas? Will be find places just walking on Bourbon?

delachaise is a great choice also cure. they have more of a tapas menu. i also think mimi's in the marigny

[uptownlibrarian]

Felipe's on North Peters St. has good, straightforward Mexican food. They're open until 1a.m. on Thursdays. Most things on the menu are ok, but the carnitas is especially good most of the time.

Mimi's in the Marigny is great for late-night. Dancing upstairs, bar and tapas downstairs, and they serve til 3:00 am or so. Great little plates for approximately $6--maybe some of them are more expensive, I can't remember. Very tasty.

Try Port-of-Call at the edge of the Quarter on Esplanade for great burgers and strong drinks. It's open until midnight during the week, I believe.

Neither of these places are actually in the quarter, but I have had some good eats at both recently:

)

http://www.thedelachaise.com/ (kitchen open till 12

)

This place is in the quarter. I cannot speak from personal experience, but I have heard good things:

I always recommend Camellia Grill for late night snacks, but it's probably too far uptown for your consideration, on this night at least.

figndate.....your thoughts on Capdeville?

[figndate]

I had some chicken lettuce wraps there that were well liked by everyone at the table. Rather generic I know, but I would definitely go back. It's a really fun place. They also do a grilled cheese and tomato soup that was yummy. Only kind of questionable thing was the fried red beans and rice balls. It wasn't really broke, you know?

The mention of Alibi got me thinking about bar food. Alibi is OK. It's actually more than OK if you go in with the understanding that it is only a bar that happens to offer food, and not a restaurant. Jimani also has nice bar food 24h/day. Three legged dog is OK and offers passable BBQ. I'd stay away from Deja Vu, most of what they have outside of nachos is barely edible.

Agreed, stay away from Deja Vu, we usually stay not far from there and picked up some food one night, not good at all, even drunk.

I used to go to the Alibi quite often, but only did so as that was where the female entertainers went when they got off work, can't speak for the food.

Red Beans and rice at Vaughns... And I'm only halfway joking ;)

[nikinik]

You are so right! We're going to be there this Thursday and I still didn't think to suggest it

[nola79]

It's been VERY packed since the Treme premiere, much moreso than even before, and for both sets. Still fun though. I saw Steve Zahn there last Thursday.

Adolfo's in the Marigny! A lot of people on here rave about Coop's. We tried it a few weeks ago and it was horrible.
