The turquoise Garden District landmark is the definitive New Orleans dinner, turtle soup, Creole classics, and the famous bread pudding souffle, served with old-world polish.
A short ride away at the Pontchartrain Hotel, the Hot Tin rooftop bar has a vintage feel and a wide view over the river bend, the perfect place to stretch the night with a cocktail.
Book Commander's for a weekend and take dinner slowly, then head to the rooftop for the view. Both are in the Garden District and Lower Garden District, a short hop apart.
It costs nothing, it's genuinely romantic, and it's the perfect free bookend to any New Orleans date.
