CATFISH is the sort of restaurant you go to when you wish you were on a mini love vacation in New Orleans. It’s Cajun food at its more comforting. Are we the only ones that find the Bayou romantic? If that weren’t enough to get us here, the gravy-covered everything and friendly staff certainly get the job done. FYI, there’s Bayou Bingo every Monday from 8-10 p.m.—for free!

Don’t fill up too much on Southern goodness though, because Butter & Scotch is serving up amazing baked goods and coffee a few blocks away—a perfect combination of sweet-tooth satisfier and party bar. The atmosphere is fun, lively, dance-filled and dessert-filled. They're also owned and operated by women, so that’s awesome.
