"If you’ve ever wondered what visiting the Haunted Mansion would be like if they poured a mean brandy milk punch, head to Napoleon House. This French Quarter landmark is over two centuries old and looks every year of it, with peeling paint, creaky wooden furniture, and lots of old portraits with eyes that follow you around the room. The kitchen here serves decent Creole staples, but we come here just for drinks—the no-nonsense, bowtied staff make some of the best classic cocktails around. We’re not sure how the Pimm’s cup got to be their house specialty (surely there’s a story), but whatever you do, don’t leave without trying the absinthe-dabbed sazerac." - carlo mantuano, garrett snyder, zella palmer
