Tribeca, Manhattan · restaurant
The gumbo here runs on duck-and-chicken-fat roux — order the all-in with chicken, andouille, shrimp, and crab, and you will understand what the buzz is about. The Jazz Fest crawfish bread, sauteed crawfish on Leidenheimer French bread baked golden, is non-negotiable. Weekends bring live jazz brunch, which turns the room into Tribeca via the French Quarter.
