Desire Oyster Bar

There are two things you must not miss when you come to New Orleans: oysters and jazz. Because it is close to the Gulf of Mexico, the oysters here are of very good quality, with a fresh, tender taste and no fishy smell. Almost every good restaurant has a special oyster bar with people who shuck oysters. The most popular way to eat oysters is to mix the oyster meat with mustard and ketchup and eat it with soda crackers, which is very delicious. And oysters are also cheap, usually around $12 per dozen. I recommend an oyster bar on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter: Desire Oyster Bar, which specializes in oysters. After eating here, you can go directly to The Jazz Playhouse across the street to listen to live jazz. New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, and almost every bar has jazz bands performing, which is absolutely enjoyable for jazz fans. The band at The Jazz Playhouse is more experienced and the atmosphere is very good.
