Bringing the girlfriend who's never been to NOLA, but unfortunately we only get one night in town. Looking for a neighborhood spot with a great atmosphere. I'm leaning towards one of these two places for dinner, although Other suggestions are welcome.

ETA: I have not been to either restaurant.

Clancy's would be my go-to for this, but it's closed Sunday nights.

Do you think La Crepe is a better dinner spot than the other two?

yes i do the whole experience and the eclectic wierdos one sometimes sees in there:)
But to me, Atchaflaya Cafe is the weakest and is never even on my radar anymore but to each his own:)

Apollinaire closed on Sunday night too, unfortunately. Looks like LPG is the winner.

Any recs for a nice upscale bar near LPG?

Bouligny Tavern is walking distance from LPG.

The bar at LPG. Hopefully Julia is working.

Im not certain Id classify Bouligny as walking distance to LP, with a girl presumably wearing heels and with cold weather, best to drive.

I've never been to LPG. I love Atchafalaya. Best shrimp and grits in the city IMHO.
