"This busy breakfast and lunch spot on Magazine only closes on Christmas and Mardi Gras day. And there’s usually a crowd at Slim Goodies Diner, thanks to its dog-friendly patio, diner-style eats, and central location on Magazine. One of the first spots to reopen after Katrina, the re-population combo of two eggs, grits or hash brown, bacon or sausage, toast or biscuit was the only thing on the menu and it’s still a winner." - Beth D'Addono
