A photo of Great Jones Cafe restaurant
$$$$
• Cajun • Greenwich Village
The Great Jones Cafe is a fun bar and restaurant located in the heart of New York City. It's easy to understand what this cafe is all about as soon as you step inside. Chalkboards announcing the day's specials and a few jokes are lined up behind the bar and are lit by a string of multicolored Christmas lights. In the corner sits an old jukebox that still picks up the records and plays them the old fashioned way. The Great Jones Cafe is full of personality. The menu at Great Jones Cafe offers a variety of classic dishes from across America. Guests can enjoy an authentic Texas beef chili, move on to a spicy gumbo with andouille sausage and finish it all off with a delightfully tart key lime pie. For drinks, try a locally brewed beer or craft cocktail made at the bar.

• Cajun • Lower East Side
On Orchard Street in the heart of the Lower East Side of New York City, you will find Claw Daddy's. Since the doors opened in September of 2012, this has been the place to go to order up authentic Cajun Louisiana boil and indulge in an amazing raw bar. The bright contemporary atmosphere at Claw Daddy's is perfect for a night out. Start off your night with one of the many craft beers or signature adult Capri Sun cocktails. Fried pickles, shrimp ceviche or crab cake fritters are just a few of the starters served. But the real claim to fame is a Louisiana boil from Claw Daddy's. Choose from shrimp, clams, crawfish, lobster or crab legs to put in your boil. Mix with the sauce of your choice and make it as spicy as you would like for the perfect meal. -

$$$$
• Cajun • Murray Hill
Sugar Freak serves up some fantastic and authentic New Orleans cuisine. The restaurant provides tasty comfort food and brings New Yorkers as close to NOLA as possible. The interior design is lovely and charming with vintage plates and unique furniture. Sugar Freak is open seven days a week and is kid friendly.At Sugar Freak, there are so many tasty dishes to try out. Mac and cheese has been given a fresh twist with the addition of crawfish. The fried chicken and waffles are very filling and cooked perfectly. Customers who love stepping out of the box will fall for the scrumptious popcorn alligator appetizer. Desserts are a must-have here! The Sugar Freak dump cake is out of this world and customers can't stop raving about the fried banana pudding.
