Make A NOLA Dinner Date

It’s a good time to be hungry in the Crescent City! Then again, there’s never a bad time to be hungry in New Orleans, a city filled with celebrity chefs, tasty Creole fare, and potent cocktails. But right now the city is hosting two very special culinary events that will please your wallet just as much as your palette. 

This month, take part in the We Live to Eat August Dinner Series, sponsored by the Louisiana Restaurant Association Greater New Orleans Chapter. Member restaurants—including Besh Steak, Galatoire’s, and Commander’s Palace—are offering special prix fixe menus each Thursday night throughout August.  For a list of participating restaurants, visit www.welivetoeatnola.com/events/august_dinners/.

August also kicks off COOLinary, a two-month celebration of New Orleans cuisine. The special promotion features a host of restaurants offering up three-course menus for $20 or less at lunch and $34 or less for dinner. A few of the participating restaurants are: Antoine’s Restaurant, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse, and Palace Café. Find out more details at www.nomcvb.com/restaurants/index.cfm.

No doubt—it’s a delicious time to dine!
