"18. Longway Tavern, New Orleans
“It’s just cool there,” the novelist (and New Orleans resident) Jami Attenberg told me when I emailed her about Longway Tavern. She’s right, and what’s surprising about that is that this refuge of refreshment murmurs discreetly in the midst of the tourist-clotted French Quarter. Longway, as led by chef John Sinclair and bar guru Liam Deegan, is the pub you wish you could park in for a few years. Sip a perfect Sazerac while you marvel at snacks that conjure the Big Easy without trying to copy traditional creole tropes. The chicken sandwich is lusciously smeared with chicken livers; the peas—yes, peas!—bathe in cauliflower cream under a crust of breadcrumbs and country ham. 719 Toulouse Street"

Not going to like, I like this joint. It's a good escape away from the tourist with Big arse Beers.

Steak Sandwich and the calamari are killer and those peas they talk about make me like peas for the first time in my life.

The drinks are pretty good too with the Barrel Proof dude running the show here too.
