This is where you go when everyone wants to eat something different. It has a number of different vendors and is a modern day "cafeteria". But don't let that word "cafeteria" get in your way. This is an awesome place to check out.

This is New Orleans style food. It's a large restaurant that stays open late for bar goers. Last time I went here, the saxophone player wasn't there but they used to have live music here. Call and ask and if they do, it's a fun place to eat and listen to good music.
