Bored of Bruff? Need a break from the LBC? Try eating off campus! New Orleans is known for many famous things, one of these being its amazing food. However, a lot of restaurants are pricey and inconvenient to get to from campus. If you're like me, you always are looking to fill up with satisfying food while keep your bank account from plummeting.
Luckily for you, I have tapped into my resources and done my research to find delicious food that will leave your wallet and your belly feeling happy. These places are sure to fill you for under $20 and are within walking distance or a short uber ride away.
1. Mint Modern Bistro
http://www.mintmodernbistro.com/
This place is PHO-nomenal. All their main dishes are almost all under $15, most closer to $10. Enjoy a nice 15- minute walk down Freret street to this modern Vietnamese bistro. Everything on the menu is worth getting, but I recommend the pho or a rice plate (and of course, egg rolls). You will leave feeling beyond satisfied and happy that your wallet is not taking a hit.
2. Satsuma Cafe
This classic brunch place is right on Maple street and offers a wide variety of options, all flavorful and mostly, healthy. From sandwiches to breakfast plates, to pancakes and sandwiches, really anything from Satsuma is bound to put a grin on your face. The food is incredibly fresh and locally grown.
3. The Rum House
Let's TACO about the amazingness that is The Rum House. With the option to pick 2, 3 or even 4 tacos and sides that are so tasty, The Rum House will be instant favorite. There is something available for even the gluten-free and vegetarian people in your crew. All the different tacos are great and don't forget to order the queso and chips.
4. Slice Pizzeria
Coming from New York, it's hard to find a piece of pizza that makes you say "ah, home," but Slice's pizza comes pretty darn close. Their traditional pizza, served by the slice, for those of us who are just looking for a snack, or a full pie if you are "sharing" will make your tastebuds explode. Plus, they deliver to campus
5. Asuka Sushi and Hibachi
