At Green Goddess in New Orleans, a chic new rabbit hole in the French Quarter, cutting-edge chef Chris DeBarr (ex The Delachaise) concocts locally sourced Eclectic dinners while Surrey’s Juice Bar vet Paul Artigues handles the day shift; it's attracting lawyers, off-duty cooks and tattooed gourmets who come for moderately priced bites and exotic cocktails as well as indulgent tasting menus, all served in a setting with crafty touches like avocado-colored walls and a ceiling clad in hand-screened, coppery wallpaper; N.B. open for lunch/brunch daily, dinner Thursday–Sunday.
