"Royal House plays to its strengths: it's within walking distance of Bourbon Street (and bad decisions), and accordingly, serves as an ideal jumping off point for your raucous night-to-come. Head in around 5 p.m. for a platter of fresh oysters and a hard drink, and don't forget the crispy, crunchy, doughy beignets: those savory, tasty bad boys (God bless fried redfish and beurre blanc) will play an important role in lining your stomach." - Paul Oswell, Andrew Parks
