Inside New Orleans

You’re the executive chef at Italian restaurants Domenica and Pizza Domenica, and you recently won the James Beard Foundation’s Best New Restaurant in America award for your latest venture, Shaya. How do you find time to be everywhere at once?

I try to be at all three during the week, but Shaya is where I spend the majority of my time. When I am there, I’m usually tasting wine, trying new items, making pita bread during service—I love our pita bread oven.

Tell us a little about your early cooking experiences.

Some of my earliest memories of falling in love with food were from cooking with my grandmother when I was 7 years old.

We spent four years living in Israel, where I was experiencing food that was different from when we came to America. Cooking was always something I loved to do, and the only thing I was really great at.

You worked in Italian restaurants in Las Vegas and St. Louis before moving to New Orleans to help open Besh Steak [at Harrah’s Casino] in 2003. What were your first impressions of the city?

I’d always had a love affair with New Orleans cuisine, even though I’d never been here before moving. I grew up watching chefs Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse on TV, and when the opportunity to move down here came, I didn’t hesitate.

I love everything about the culture down here. Definitely the food, the music and the weather. The feeling of soul that the city has. The unpredictability of the city. I’m just head over heels about New Orleans.

Is there a particular dish at Domenica that receives the most praise?

The whole roasted cauliflower with whipped goat cheese is definitely the most popular item on Domenica’s menu. We sell about 700 heads of cauliflower a week.

It’s out of control. When I traveled to Israel after opening Domenica, I was so inspired that I came back cooking Israeli food again.

I started introducing that stuff at Domenica little by little, and since we didn’t want to turn the Italian restaurant into an Israeli restaurant, I opened Shaya.

Do you source your ingredients from any local markets where visitors can shop?

We get most everything locally. Crescent City Farmer’s Market is going on four times a week. In the Warehouse District on Saturdays, Uptown on Tuesdays, at the French Market on Wednesdays and in Midcity on Thursday afternoons. You can go to the market and get breakfast. My wife and I go there for the carrot and watermelon juice. They have good local produce every day of the week.

What are some New Orleans restaurants, other than your own, that you’d recommend visitors check out?

There are several. Visitors should explore the Vietnamese cuisine we have. Lilly’s Café on Magazine Street is the place to do that.

It’s right in middle of everything. As far as the newcomers in town, Nina Compton does amazing food at Compère Lapin. The fried chicken at Emeril’s is some of the best I’ve ever had. And if you want to take an excursion, Mosca’s out on the Westbank is great for old school Italian. You can play the jukebox there and eat a really good meal.

ARCHITECTURAL SCAVENGER HUNT Put on your thinking cap, grab your magnifying glass and let loose your inner Sherlock, because the scavenger hunt for New Orleans’ famous historic buildings is on. Clueless about the difference between these architectural wonders? Then read on to unlock these mysteries and more.

CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for cottages with high and steep front-facing gable roofs, occasionally with wide front porches, brick chimneys and (often) wooden storm shutters.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Dine inside an authentic Creole Cottage at the upscale restaurant Bayona or kick back with a drink at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, a Bourbon Street institution built in 1732.

Greek Revival House CLUES YOU CAN USE: The front porch columns are a dead giveaway, as ©Nottoway Plantation are parapets (a short wall running the length of the roof) and square wooden details above the windows.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Visit the plantation museums along River Road to see opulent Greek Revival houses, including Houmas House and Nottoway plantations. Closer to town, find fine examples of Greek Revival structures at the George & Leah McKenna Museum of African-American Art.

creole townhouse CLUES YOU CAN USE: These two- and three-story brick buildings with wrought iron-skirted balconies and hidden courtyards are among New Orleans’ most famous architectural marvels.

X MARKS THE SPOT: You’ll find many favorite local restaurants and shops inside Creole townhouses. These include Creole restaurant Pere Antoine and gift stores Razzle Dazzle and Forever New Orleans. In Jackson Square, look for the iconic Pontalba Buildings, which contain the 1850 House museum and Café Pontalba.

Inside New Orleans

raised center-hall cottage CLUES YOU CAN USE: These one-and-a-half storied cottages bear a strong resemblance to old plantation homes, featuring columns spanning across a front porch that runs the length of the house. They are raised two to eight feet above the ground on brick piers, and the front door is centered at the top of the front steps.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Tour the Beauregard-Keyes House museum in the French Quarter or stay at Ashton’s Bed and Breakfast to see raised center-hall cottages up close. For a tour of other architectural wonders, stop by The Historic New Orleans Collection (hnoc.org) to inquire about their historical tours of the Quarter.

©Beauregard-Keyes House

double gallery house CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for two-story homes set back from their property lines, with upstairs balconies and asymmetrical façades.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Esplanade Ridge has fine examples of these, such as the bed-and-breakfast Degas House and African American history museum Le Musée de f.p.c. In the Garden District, look for Fairchild House Bed and Breakfast and Terrell House.

Shotgun houses ©Mary Fitzpatrick, Preservation Resource Center

CLUES YOU CAN USE: These familiar wood-framed row houses are often divided into two narrow, rectangular apartments that abut the sidewalk. Typically, shotguns lack a front yard.

Shotgun

X MARKS THE SPOT: The “double” is New Orleans’ most popular architectural style, though you’ll find plenty of long, thin single shotguns throughout town as well. Dine inside a charming old shotgun at Uptown Creole restaurant Mat & Naddie’s. Also, the Preservation Resource Center, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring old New Orleans homes, hosts the Renovators’ Happy Hour on the fourth Thursday from April through October. Visit prcno.org for more information on happy hour tours and a chance to see the inside of a double shotgun.

WAYS TO DAY-TRIP IT When you plan a trip to New Orleans, it’s easy to set your sights solely on the attractions of the city proper. There are countless gumbos to sample, music venues to visit, historic sites to tour and shops to poke around in. But take our word for it: There are also some awesome adventures to be had just a short drive away. Here are some of our favorite ways to go exploring beyond New Orleans.

Tour the Plantations of River Road West of New Orleans is a 70-mile long stretch of highway known as River Road. There, nestled up against the Mississippi River, you’ll find more than a dozen grand old plantation homes that recall south Louisiana’s history as an agricultural powerhouse. This is old Louisiana architecture at its most scenic.

©Whitney Plantation

Lucky for visitors, many plantations are open to the public. Here’s what is unique about each of them: u Destrehan Plantation is the closest plantation to New Orleans and oldest in the lower Mississippi Valley. u Houmas House Plantation & Gardens is where you’ll find no fewer than four outstanding restaurants and a massive wine cellar housed in converted historic water cisterns. u Laura Plantation tours take visitors into the lives of the Creoles who lived there, whose stories are based on the diaries of former resident Laura Locoul. u Nottoway Plantation is remarkable for its sheer size.

With 64 rooms, it easily claims the distinction of being the South’s largest antebellum mansion. u Oak Alley Plantation welcomed its five millionth visitor in 2014, making it the most-visited plantation home of them all.

Sunset ©Oak Alley Plantation

u Ormond Plantation is a former indigo plantation and bed-and-breakfast on Louisiana's German Coast. u San Francisco Plantation stands out for its gingerbread house style architectural details and elaborate hand-painted ceilings. u St. Joseph Plantation has been owned by the same family since the 1870s, and many of its descendants today lead tours of the property. u Whitney Plantation is the only plantation museum devoted to telling the history of slavery in America.

At Bayou Barn, located about a half hour drive south of New Orleans, you can get a feel of authentic Cajun culture at a boot-stompin' fais do-do, held every Sunday. These weekly get-togethers are Cajun dance parties, where families and friends get together to dance and, as they say down here, "pass a good time." Hear zydeco and Cajun music while eating some of the best food south Louisiana has to offer.

Tasty Trips Near New Orleans Because of the distinct culinary traditions and mouthwatering dishes that come from New Orleans, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of spots to find culinary adventures. Head down to Louisiana’s Cajun country for a tour of McIlhenny Company’s TABASCO® pepper sauce factory on Avery Island, and dine at the hot sauce maker's new in-house restaurant, 1868. Or, if you like the idea of catching your dinner, hire one of Louisiana’s many charter fishing boats, whose captains can take you to where the fish are biting, no matter the time of year.

Red Fish Grill

Insider's Tip Sometimes called a "French donut," these decadent treats were brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. A beignet is a square piece of dough that, upon being deep fried, forms a slightly doughy yet slightly crispy pillow and is covered with powdered sugar. There are other savory versions, with fillings such as crawfish or shrimp also seen on New Orleans menus.

Taxis and public transportation can take you to points not within walking distance.

TAXIS Rates are $3.50 plus $2 per mile (or 30¢ per 1/8 mile) thereafter. During peak visitor times or special events, taxi rates may increase but will be posted. A fixed rate of $36 (two people) is charged from the airport to most areas of New Orleans; for parties of more than two, the fare is $15 per person. RATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BUS Bus routes extend to almost every corner of the city, and the fare is $1.25 (plus 25¢ per transfer). Express buses cost $1.50.
