<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">I’ve been spending a lot of time in the Bywater/Marigny area for a reason. It’s quite possibly the most genuine and intriguing area of our city with just a hint of mystery. Some of my favorite people, places, and things to do are in what some people consider the next area in New Orleans to blow up. I agree with them.</p>
<p>I will admit that the tagline on this week's feature is a bit bold. In less than a year, the nearly 150 year old historic French Quarter Hotel Monteleone completed it's most ambitious renovation yet. The transformation features an expanded Carousel Bar and the new restaurant <a target="_blank" href="http://hotelmonteleone.com/criollo/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Criollo</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">Upon each and every visit to the Bywater nestled below the french quarter, I'm equally surprised and inspired. This time it's the cosy and one of a kind charm of Satsuma Cafe that seems to be working it's magic. Quint and inviting would be the perfect description for this very popular eatery. After a day trip around the Bywater, I decided to listen to droves of folks who've been heckling me for not visiting Satsuma.</p>
<p>I find myself intentionally lost in the Bywater quite often as of late. Some of the best kept secrets in New Orleans food and otherwise are kept off St. Claude. Besides the fact that it's an up and coming area, I dig that it's the nouveau bohème. There is something special and unique about the Bywater.</p>
