New Orleans is home to a plethora of historic restaurants that have been preserving culinary traditions for generations. One famous coffee stand, for instance, has been running 24 hours a day, closing only on Christmas Day and during hurricanes, with a menu that has barely changed in over 160 years.

These historic eateries are not just museums with menus, but rather family-owned businesses that have been passed down through generations, sometimes four or five deep. Recipes are guarded and passed down, and the dining style is worth keeping. Antoine’s, for example, holds the title of the oldest restaurant in New Orleans and is still run by the same family.
