During the day, Lucy's Retired Surfer's Restaurant & Bar serves as the perfect lunch break getaway for the young professional crowd working in the Warehouse District. At night, it is the after-work drinking hole for the same crowd. It is a great change of pace from the bars in the Quarter. The interior of this place resembles an old Tiki bar, and the staff wears Aloha shirts and occasionally straw hats. A California influence is apparent in the grilled shrimp and fish specialties. You will also enjoy a large selection of Southwestern breakfast dishes and burritos. It is open daily at 11 am.
Parasol's
Originally built in 1902 as the Irish Channel, Parasol's Restaurant & Bar is now known amongst locals as the unofficial party center for Mardi Gras. This underground hangout is popular with regulars and visitors. Five televisions make it a great gathering spot for sports fans. It boasts one of New Orleans' meatiest Po'boys with loads of Sloppy Roast Beef. It also serves local favorites such as Red Beans and Rice, and, of course, Crawfish.

Enjoy creole seafood delights at this much-loved New Orleans institution standing by the Mississippi river. Located strategically at Algiers Point, Dry Dock Cafe attracts visitors alighting from the ferry. The lively interiors sport a mild marine theme, but it's lost in random artwork and tons of photographs adorning the walls. The menu is varied, and offers everything from the classic seafood gumbo and po' boys to seafood platters. Their burgers deserve a special mention and should not be missed. Settle down at the pretty little wooden bar and let the friendly bartenders mix you one of their popular cocktails. Check website for more.
