Holes in the wall in NOLA
 

I've heard that there are some great hole in the wall places for good eats in Louisiana.<BR><BR>Any ideas? I'm heading there Columbus Day weekend.

Heavens yes! Too too many good places to eat in New Orleans. <BR><BR>Uglisiches is the best and coolest but only open on weekdays (as is K-Paul's, which is much more of a hole in the wall than you would expect). Bozo's is probably the next best - very unassuming. <BR><BR>I like Mandina's on Canal Street. It's a classic New Orleans place and the food is great. Very reasonable too.<BR><BR>Muffalettas...the ones at the Napoleon House are better than the "famous" Central Grocery ones to me...R&O's is good too.<BR><BR>The quintessential "hole in the wall" is Mosca's but it's so far out and there's always a wait but if you have time it might be worth it.<BR><BR>One of my very favorite places is Angelo Bracatos. Italian Ice cream, cannolis, espresso...very delish. It's in Mid-City...Just around the corner from where my former boyfriend lived.<BR><BR>Oh oh oh...and if you don't mind going over by the projects there's Dooky Chase's in Treme. Much more elegant inside than outside and good old fashioned Creole food.<BR><BR>Bon Apetite and Lassiz Les Bon Temps Roulez!<BR>

Any more suggestions folks?<BR><BR>I also hear NOLA has lots of yummy spots where the tourists don't all hang out.

I'd suggest Petunia's and for a REAL hole-in-the-wall, Deja Vue. Both are located in the Quarter just off Bourbon away from the river.

The Steak Pit. I can't remember what street it is on, but it is in the FQ. You walk down a few steps from the street. They have the best french onion soup in the world and the steaks are great. Just don't use the restroom. It is scary.
