The new bar Cure (4905 Freret St., 302-2357; www.curenola.com) is focused on crafting
high-end cocktails with old-fashioned technique and fresh ingredients.
But the sleek, design-savvy establishment also serves a small menu of
dishes from chef Jason McCullar. Plates of cheeses, meats or duck liver
pate are ideal for sharing. Sandwich options include the vegetarian
mushroom melt and cochon panino with spicy kimchee.
Philly's Cafe
Philadelphia-style cheesesteaks are the specialty at Philly's
Café (2816 S. Claiborne Ave., 896-2228), which reopened in a
different part of town after a long post-Katrina hiatus. The
café serves inexpensive breakfast sandwiches, omelets and
platters, but the flattop grills are put to their best use turning out
7- and 12-inch cheesesteaks topped with onions and peppers.
