"Desire Oyster Bar’s vintage marquis sign has shone on Bourbon Street for more tha 45 yars. Part of the Sonesta Hotel, the casual spot offers a stand-up oyster bar in an old-school setting. With its black and white tile and globe lighting, the place feels retro. Duck in out of the craziness and order raw and chargrilled, at least for starters." - Beth D'Addono
