WHY IT RATES:This special monthly culinary promotion celebrates the exceptional dining in New Orleans with over 85 participating restaurants. - Eric Bowman, TravelPulse Senior Editor
The New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau announces the line-up of restaurants for its thirteenth annual COOLinary New Orleans Restaurant Month, offering special two- and three-course lunch menus for $20 or less, three-course dinner menus for $39 or less and three-course brunch menus for $39 or less, available August 1-31, 2017.
The campaign highlights the inventive menus created by award-winning chefs specializing in the authentic cuisine of New Orleans. COOLinary New Orleans, along with NOCVB's Be a Tourist in Your Own Hometown campaign, has become a staple summer calendar event for locals and visitors alike for more than a decade.
"New Orleans is known the world over for its culinary creativity, and our month-long COOLinary New Orleans Restaurant Month offers the perfect occasion for both visitors and locals to taste the best our chefs have to offer. It grants an opportunity to try a spot newer to the local dining landscape or revisit a signature favorite," said Kim Priez, Senior Vice President of Tourism for the NOCVB.
