2004 Fall Restaurant Guide by Neighborhood
by Natalie Brown, Frank Etheridge, Alison Fensterstock, Kandace Power Graves, Allen Johnson Jr, Eileen Loh Harrist, Sarah O'Kelley, Todd A. Price, Alex Rawls, Katy Reckdahl, David Lee Simmons and Lance VargasIt's harder than you think. Restaurants, particularly this year, frequently undergo some change of address or another -- some close, others expand, some up and move from one location to another. But also, in a city that is defined as much by where you live as how you live, defining restaurants by neighborhood provides its own unique perspective. So whether you're downtown or Uptown, on the West Bank or in Eastern New Orleans, or driving across the bridge to the Northshore (or beyond), we not only know what to eat, but where to eat.
Speaking of a sense of direction, you may also want to check out Sara Roahen's profile of Southern food expert John T. Edge, who has just completed books on fried chicken and apple pie, in our A&E section.
Enjoy.
