New Orleans: Culinary Backstreets - The Creole Connection

Discover the flavors of New Orleans on a guided food tour. Visit neighborhood restaurants and food shops, try local specialties, and learn about the roots of Creole cuisine.
Begin your culinary journey in New Orleans’ oldest food marketplace with coffee and a praline-stuffed beignet, the “cronut” of New Orleans. Learn about the historical context of New Orleans Creole identity as you savor your treat.

Continue with New Orleans-style iced coffees as you stroll through the city. Depending on the season, enjoy a freshly shucked Gulf oyster or a link of boudin before savoring a wedge of the Italian-Creole classic sandwich, the muffaletta.

Walk along scenic streets lined with Creole cottages, one of the great examples of native New Orleans architecture, and head into the charming Marigny district. Visit a time-honored tavern for its alligator meatballs.

Pass some backstreet monuments along the way, including an upstairs recording studio where some of the greats of 1950s rock ’n’ roll and R&B, including Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Ray Charles, cut singles. See a historic Catholic church that is a cornerstone of the Tremé neighborhood, historically the center of New Orleans’ African American community.

Sit down at one of the city’s favorite lunch spots, Lil Dizzy’s, where three generations of the Baquet family serve up what is arguably the city’s finest gumbo. Stop by one of Tremé’s favorite spots for seafood by the pound, feasting on crawfish when in season.

To wash it all down, settle onto a stool at one of the neighborhood’s time-honored watering holes for a cold drink in a deeply local environment. Along the way, stop by neighborhood landmarks and meet members of the community who bring the rich history of this Creole city to life through their cooking.

Depending on the season, end your tour with something sweet, be it a homemade praline or a refreshing snoball. And this being New Orleans, ever unpredictable, the tour may finish with a street parade or a torrential downpour – fortunately, in this city, there’s always a corner bar to duck into while you digest the day’s experience.
