The 18 Best Restaurants & Bars In The Bywater & Marigny - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Summers in New Orleans are brutal, and when you need a break from bar hopping or just want to relax for a bit near water, head to The Country Club. You can eat crab beignets or have some filet mignon at the restaurant inside the 200-year-old house, but the real reason to come here is to hang out by the big pool in the backyard, where you can still order food, but also swim or just lay around. If you come on the weekend though, be prepared for Drag Brunch at 10am and 1pm on Saturdays and Sundays, which is exactly as fun—and as popular with bachelorette parties—as you’d expect." - chelsea brasted, megan braden perry
