There's a very cool little place in the Short North we went to on Thursday night. I do not know much about authentic New Orleans or cajun food, but Da Levee is quite satisfying. The menu changes daily, and is small, but it also has vegetarian options. Entrees are seven bucks, and you get plenty of food. You're also given the option of splitting your entrees and getting a half order of two items. This is a deal and a great way to try different food. I had red beans and sausage and the chicken creole and was quite pleased with both.
There was only one person working when we got there, and he had our food out practically by the time we walked to the table. Very friendly. There's also an arcade basketball game in the back. My wife went to the restroom and while I was talking to the owner he heard the beeping and said, "I think she's found the basketball game."
She beat me, so we have to go back for a rematch.
It was a lovely night to be out. High Street was quite busy. A lot of fine looking women strolling about. Then there was this kid in a faux sombrero, trying to get us to sign up and pay to save the environment, a block later another your lady asked us to Save the Children, and further down someone else was being asked to save Lake Erie.
I really do not mind solicitors, but unlike panhandlers they follow you, and try to inflict guilt on you. When you get saturated with charities every block, you get fatigued, and these people dehumanize giving.

The real New Orleans leaves you with bald patches if you search for vegetarian options. They do exist in some places I think; but the choices are difficult to find if you do not live there. Bennachin seems to be the only exception to this rule.
Neither of have been there, so we do not know what's authentic. But when you get a tasty plateful of food and walk out of there spending twenty bucks for two, you know a good deal.
I avoid the people with the binders like the plague.
