New menus all over the damn place
There’s just a crap load of fall menus that you need to go try: the po' boy and octopus BLT at Black Crescent, the Dandy Onassis (Applejack, Wolfamer Orange, apple liqueur, apple butter, cinnamon) at Maison Premiere, a burger made with beignets at Bo’s, plus everything at Experimental Cocktail Club.
