Vaughan’s has the look of an old neighborhood bar, but legendary jazz trumpeter Kermit Ruffins has made it famous. Every Thursday night, tourists flock to the usually-quiet neighborhood to see Ruffins at his regular weekly gig, and occasionally to eat his famous barbecue from a truck out front. The crowds have grown even larger since the television series Treme has made Kermit Ruffins even more well-known. 7/5/12

Elizabeth’s Restaurant in the Bywater is a relatively new restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Particularly interesting is the praline bacon, which is better experienced than described. 7/5/12
