Spring Break

Spring Break is fast approaching and with US destinations as the hot new destinations this year (can you say bad economy?) We thought we'd look at some of the best places to go in some of this year's most popular spots: Today, New Orleans.

New Orleans:

Antoine's- Open since 1840 with classic creole dishes its a New Orleans landmark. Mind you, the prices are a bit steep but for one nice night out its a good pick. Antoine's is especially cool because they helped out all of their employees during the Hurricane and even paid to house their families. The food is awesome, but for support alone, try Antoine's:

Casamento's - On Food Network's Diners, Drive ins and Dives "Cookin' and Old School" episode, Casemento's is featured, from Gumbo, Crab Claws and Soft Shell Crab Dinner- its a mix of old and new seafood dishes from as low as 6 bucks. And since Guy Fieri ate it, you know it has to be at least a little good (and way fattening) - but that's the best kind of food.

Progress Grocery- Has been making Muffuletta Sandwich with Olive Salad since 1924, you need to try this NOLA staple when you're there and its easy, cheap and filling food.

And of course, for Food Network junkies like myself- There's always NOLA- Emeril Lagasse's flagship restaurant- big $, but again, definitely worth it for a quality meal.

Until next location.. keep craving!
