Tony Angello’s, which had been around for over four decades, was so well-loved that the Rizzuto’s team had to approach the new restaurant very carefully. According to the report, they kept a “few dishes that reference the old Tony Angello’s repertoire” on the menu, but not any that they felt they could not execute as well as their predecessor. The ones that made the cut are “brisket and tomato salad, crab gravy, marinated mushrooms and a version of eggplant Tina, a stack of breaded eggplant called eggplant Valentina.” The restaurant’s layout hasn’t changed, but the renovation made it brighter.

LUNCH - Founded by Frank Manale in 1913, this seafood-centric family friendly eatery is beloved and with good reason.

The raw oysters are always a good idea.

LUNCH - Truburger is an Oak Street burger joint located by the Riverbend in Uptown New Orleans. All the beef comes in fresh from Creekstone Farms in Kansas, ground in-house for that not-your-average-burger mouth feel. There is also a veggie burger made in house. Pick your bun filler (gluten-free buns are available if you wish) then add tangy Tru sauce and veggies, or spin out with extras like a fried egg or avocado. The shakes are thick and delish, fresh cut fries a thing of beauty, especially with a dousing of TwoRun gravy when they've got it. This place isn't on your diet ok? But order the housemade poppers anyway, they're the bomb.

Dat Dog
5030 Freret StLUNCH - Dat Dog is located on the burgeoning Freret Street in Uptown New Orleans. The joint is colorfully clad, features indoor/outdoor dining and a full bar. Their "dogs" are supremely unique. First, pick your meat type: polish sausage, brat, red hot, crawdog, etc. Then, choose toppings, which range from your typical chili and cheese, to the absurd. Often times, live music is played outdoors on the string lighted patio. If not, plenty of televisions are available for sport/event viewing. Unlike a lot of places around town, there is plenty of space at Dot Dog (even at the bar), so feel free to bring your whole posse for lunch/dinner/drinks.

Housed in what seems to be a tiny battered down shack in the middle of Uptown, this place is great to go to in the wee hours of the morning, when you could care less who or what you are surrounded by. Schlitz is the beer of choice here, and interesting characters make up the entire population of this joint. It is definitely advised to come here with someone who knows the area or has at least been to "Snakes" before. Just look for the Christmas lights on an aluminum sided shack on Oak Street and you'll know you found the spot.

There's a great juke box and live music on a regular basis, but the real night to dance like a fool is the monthly Saturday night Mod Dance Party - an evening of 60s swagger powered by DJ Matty and DJ Kristen, who stick to a soundtrack of solely vinyl from the period. Put on some lashes, tease the hair and done your best pucci knock off mini-dress, and you'll fit right in. The view from the upstairs balcony is killer.
