This iconic New Orleans restaurant is housed in an aqua blue-and-white striped Victorian mansion in the Garden District. Opened in 1880, Commander’s Palace has gone through many renovations and many famous chefs (Emeril, anyone?) but has remained a timeless dining option in the city. Sip on Turtle Soup in the glass-walled, second-floor Garden Room with views of the giant oak trees below. If in town over a weekend, don’t miss the Jazz Brunch on Sundays—for such a touristy spot, the food is surprisingly delicious. Tip: during weekday lunches you can enjoy 25-cent martinis.
