New Orleans is home to it's famed Jazz Festival for the next two upcoming weekends. For those of you who can't make it to the Big Easy for the live music, crawfish, and copious amount of people drinking Bloody Mary's, there's still a chance of you having a Creole good time in Atlanta at off Crescent Ave. Feet from a bustling four lane though fare, Front Page New's patio feels miles away from the noise just outsides it's high black iron gate.

The menu leans towards the flavors and dishes that one would expect from a restaurant of this type. Toasty French bread brimming with fried oysters, or shrimp make up the really popular Po' Boys, spicy red beans and rice, and creamy pastas with a spicy kick to them.

Opened for lunch, dinner, and on the weekends brunch. Front Page News is a great spot to bring out of towners or be an out of towner. Inside the restaurant, a small stage is home to live music on Saturday and Sundays (often Jazz). But, I wouldn't recommend that you eat inside. In fact, I wouldn't even eat here unless you could eat outside because the
the patio reminiscent of a New Orleans Courtyard, with mossy bricks, and a focal point fountain is the reason to eat at the restaurant.
