I stayed at The Colonnade in Back Bay, and you get pretty darn spoiled with the T literally being right outside the door.

Back Bay in general is very quiet and nice, so if that's what you're after, it would certainly hit the spot.

10 Greek Street is absolutely great - definitely get a reservation.

I personally don't like Compere Lapin. The flavor profiles they have just seem messy to me. A lot of the stuff I have had seems adventurous on paper; but doesn't end up that way.


Definitely one of the most over-hyped places I've ever been to in New Orleans...was it bad? Absolutely not. Was it memorable? Absolutely not.

Been a long time since I've been, probably 5 years, but I always enjoyed the heck out of the rack o' lamb they served up.

A super fine choice, though I dunno if they're gonna let him in with "nice shorts"...

Would be a good spot, but fair warning there is a running event for Global Running Day being hosted there today at 6:00pm. Could be busy.


Thanks - hopefully I can get there around 5 to avoid that stuff.

Brewery Saint X would work too. Been twice and the food has been excellent (actually going before a concert on Saturday as well).


Thanx, that one looks good and uncomplicated. :cheers:

I never see this place mentioned on here, but I kind of dig it for what it is and might be a good place for this situation - in other words, not a big sit down meal kind of place, but something to eat and drink before a show. Pluck Wines



Gotta admit, I've never even heard of it!

Eats In CBD Before Concert...

Posted by BrockLanders on 6/6/23 at 1:51 pm
Afternoon All,

Seeing Duran Duran tomorrow, and I haven't eaten in the CBD in a really long time, so can anyone recommend a few decent places that are fairly close to the King Of Smoothie?

As long as it's better quality than Subway, I'm pretty much open to almost anything...


Thanx in advance!

Stella! Certainly had the pretentiousness to land it multiple stars. Service was crazy. Food was good too, but the service and wine list really stood out in my experience.


I've been fortunate enough to have eaten at two different 3 Michelin star joints, and if you ever get to compare Stella! to Le Bernardin, I can promise you will know they aren't similar.
Definitely the greatest show of this century to me.

I'd always make a place for it on the personal Mt. Rushmore for sure.

My information may not be 100% accurate, but it was explained to me that SageSure left the State. The principals then created a new company called SURE that assumed all of SageSure's LA policies.


That's exactly what happened with my SageSure policy last summer. So this is correct.

Spinalis is an awesome steak there. As other poster said, crab cakes are full of crab. The cocktails are shite, so drink wine.


Thank you, will definitely remember about the bartender.

the spinalis and the crab cakes are bomb. idk much about the rest of the menu, but if that's where he wants to pick..


Thanx - I thought I saw a snarky comment or two on here recently, so I didn't know if the place has a bad reputation, etc...
