WAREHOUSE CAFÉ
7838 Earhart Blvd. 861-9639
Owned by an Eritrean family, the Warehouse Cafe is (so far) our city’s only East African restaurant. If you don’t know anything about the faraway country, they’ll tell you while feeding you intriguing dishes from injera-lined platters. Injera, a thin, crepe-like deal made from a tiny grain called teff, is Eritrean bread and silverware alike. This is a great place for dates and group outings — there’s a lot to share. Reservations accepted. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $
WAREHOUSE DISTRICT PIZZA
325 Andrew Higgins Drive 529-1466
Duck, pheasant sausage, barbecue chicken and shrimp are some of the eccentric toppings baked onto the homemade crust at Warehouse District Pizza. There’s also a filet mignon pie with asparagus and mushrooms, or one with smoked salmon, capers and onions. And the rumors are true: The Warehouse Special is the size of a trashcan lid. Eat in, carry it out or make them do the driving. Delivery available. No reservations. Lunch Tuesday through Saturday, dinner Monday through Sunday. Credit cards and checks. $
WEAVER’S PO-BOYS
800 Navarre Ave. 488-9267
Since 1945, Weaver’s has been supplying New Orleanians with what some call the best po-boys in town. The house recommends ham de-boned on site, layered either hot or cold on seeded bread with Swiss cheese. And make Weaver’s your summer stop for milkshakes, malts, root beer floats and sno-balls (choose from flavors like bubble gum, strawberry and pina colada). Delivery available. No reservations. Lunch weekdays. Cash only. $
WEST END CAFÉ
8536 Pontchartrain Blvd. 288-0711
Casual, bustling and at the Lakefront. Where else would you go for a West End Omelette? Shrimp, crawfish tails, onions, bell peppers and onions join ham and cheese in this egg pillow. Stop in on Wednesday for prime rib night. During June’s Vidalia onion festival, Vidalia onion dishes are served every day, all month long. Reservations accepted. Lunch and dinner daily, breakfast Saturday and Sunday. Credit cards. $$
WHOLE FOODS MARKET
3135 Esplanade Ave. 488-6946
Whole Foods’ grocery aisles are stocked with organic products such as exotic organic juices, blue corn chips, pesticide-free veggies, and soy milk. The deli case offers an array of sandwiches, hot plate lunches and fresh salads (such as garlic kale). Scrumptious healthy muffins, cookies, and scones stock the bakery shelves. Open daily. Credit cards. $
WHOLLY MACKEREL
1545 Lapalco Blvd., Harvey 365-9727
At Wholly Mackerel, "you can bring your papa even if he’s not dressed real propa." If you haven’t guessed, they serve an abundance of seafood dishes and Cajun-style food: clams, shrimp, catfish, oysters and crawfish – sometimes fried, sometimes blackened, sauteed, stuffed or in po-boys. Try the fried eggplant with crawfish au gratin sauce. No reservations. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $
WILLOW TOO
8226 Willow St. 861-9174
www.willowcatering.com
A dining experience like no other in New Orleans, Willow Too more resembles a sophisticated dinner party than a restaurant. Every Wednesday with a different menu each week, just a few tables of guests convene in this cozy Uptown shotgun. The bar opens in the rear parlor at 7 p.m., followed by a five-course wine-paired meal. Upcoming menus are posted on the Web site; the $75 price tag is all-inclusive. Reservations required. Dinner Wednesdays only. Credit cards. $75 per person.
WINNER’S
2216 Hickory Ave., Harahan 737-3148
Tune in for a new menu at this competitive neighborhood haunt. For now, however, the hands-down winner here is the steak special on Wednesday nights. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., run in for a 16-ounce New York strip or T-bone served with a baked potato for just $9.95. The turtle cheesecake comes in a close second. Reservations recommended. Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $$
WOLFE’S OF NEW ORLEANS
7224 Pontchartrain Blvd. 284-6004
www.wolfesofneworleans.com
Wolfe’s recently was voted "best new formal restaurant in New Orleans" by Bon Appetit magazine. This summer, the chef offers some reasons why. Try the sweet potato duck sausage, which is started in the pan and finished in the oven, seared with Hudson Valley foie gras and kiln-dried cherry reduction. For a tangy alternative, request the apple cider marinated ribeye. Reservations recommended. Lunch Thursday and Friday, dinner Monday through Saturday. Credit cards. $$$
WORLD DELI
4414 Clearview Pkwy., Metairie 885-4888
Lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, veal Parmesan, baked chicken, red beans and rice and seafood plates comprise the worldly tastes at World Deli. The assortment of sandwiches includes roast beef and meatball po-boys (beat out in popularity only by the muffaletta). Race in for a prepared gourmet-to-go item, and you won’t have to raid the freezer tonight. Lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. Credit cards and checks. $
