Had late lunch at High Hat, and then strolled over to Vals for happy hour. The next morning, we went to Bearcat Cafe for breakfast. All three were excellent.

What other places should I check out on Freret?

Definitely hit up Cure, its my favorite bar in New Orleans (not counting Bacchanal).

Pimento cheeseburger at High Hat is great.

Company burger is also great, but it's more of a thin double patty type, rather than a thick burger like High Hat. Both very good.

Mint is solid casual Vietnamese.

Humble Bagel + Mojo Coffee for breakfast

Ancora would be a lovely lunch option

Ancora. Great drinks and staff. Get a pizza and the gnocchi.

Pigeon & Whale might be one of the hottest spots in the city right now, so there.

Company
Cure
Mint
Ancora
Humble

That about covers the bases

Ancora for sure.

Mint is okay for Vietnamese. I only mention it to say I preferred Le’s Baguette on Dryades when I lived near Freret. It’s more casual, but really good pho and vermicelli. Worth a stop for lunch or something.

Damn, I just street-viewed Freret and it's crazy how different it is compared to 12 years ago when I worked a few blocks down Valence. Is the north side behind Baptist still sketch?

High Hat's pimento burger still makes occasional appearances in my dreams.

High Hat's pimento cheese burger is really good.
They also have great mojitos.
