One of the original dollar dumpling spots, Vanessa's is probably the biggest and most popular. Curt servers move the pick up line forward and get people out the door. It's worth it though.

This is a great little bar and bistro that is a bit of a gem. It is never crowded but has a solid menu and bar. The french onion soup is one of the best ever. The service is spotty but sweet.

A hidden gem. They make great New Orleans style sandwiches here. Not light fare, but the portion size is modest to make sure you don't need a nap afterwards. Zapps chips and sodas via NOLA.
