15 First-Rate Restaurants Near the New Orleans Convention Center
"One of the city’s most stylish lounges landed in the Warehouse District late last year, bringing a sexy, old-world feel to a former beer bar on Julia Street. Jolie is all about atmosphere and cocktails, a lineup of extravagant tipples utilizing tools like atomizers, eye droppers, and blow torches, occasionally incorporating a dash of glitter or other accouterments — like the French 75 with a small baggie filled with pop rocks attached to the glass rim. Come here for live music, DJs, and occasional “Cirque de Jolie” lineup of performers including sword swallowers and acrobats. The food menu is mostly made of elegant shareable plates with a French flair, like escargot, foie gras toast, tempura frog legs, bone marrow, and beef carpaccio." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
