NOLA is paradise for foodies. As a center of gastronomy, New Orleans has 1,550 restaurants, including some of the finest eateries in the country. With so many fabulous places to dine, it’s nearly impossible to suggest just a few. Instead, I invite readers to peruse the list offered by the Big Easy’s travel and tourism office: www.neworleans.com/restaurants For assistance in narrowing down the prodigious list, travel sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp may prove to be quite helpful.

Fisher, CNN Emeril’s New Orleans, 800 Tchoupitoulas St., New Orleans 70130; 504-528-9393 “Try dishes like andouille-crusted Gulf drum with local vegetables or crawfish-stuffed top neck clams and top your meal off with Emeril’s banana cream pie.“ —C. Fisher, CNN Herbsaint, 701 St. Charles Ave., New Orleans 70130; 504-524-4114 “Expect elegant catch-of-the-day dishes with a decidedly Cajun-Creole spin, like Muscovy duck leg confit with dirty rice and citrus gastrique or Louisiana shrimp and fish ceviche with cucumbers and pepitas.” —C. Fisher, CNN
