You might think that you’re going to be taking a step back in time when you visit Junction, but you’d be surprised! Inside, you’ll be surrounded with an art deco décor and you won’t be seeing any remnants of the old A&N Grocery store that once inhabited this building. When you visit, you’ll be able to choose from any of the train themed burgers (Boston & Maine, New Mexico Rail Runner, Austin Western to name a few), wings, salads, and even fried veggies. The prices here are intended to keep customers coming back, so if you happen to spot a cutie snacking on some fried pickles or fish and chips, you can bet that they’ll be there the next time you stop by. Who needs to go to any New Orleans singles event when you have a great spot like this?

What do you get when you take an old gas station and turn it into something completely different like a coffee shop and bakery? You get the Station! When you’re recovering from a night of debauchery and are trudging along that proverbial walk of shame, perk yourself up by stopping in at the Station. You can get things like quiche, breakfast pie, and sausage pie and even a few sweets. If you need a little caffeine to get you going, they have a nice selection of coffees and teas. Maybe someone cute caught your eye while in line – you can purchase a Chemex for two for only $5.50! Now how lucky would that be if you were to meet someone that you can spend the day with while getting coffee? Pretty sweet in our book!

When you’ve met someone and you want to meetup, New Orleans has a terrific little farm to table spot called Restaurant Rebirth that specializes in Cajun Creole cuisine. Everything on the menu is locally sourced, the food is fresh, and you can bet that you’re getting a great dish every time. While the venue may feel small and cozy, that doesn’t mean your dining experience is going to be lacking. The tight quarters (especially at the bar!) can be a fantastic way to meet someone new, even if that wasn’t your original intention when going. If you’re hoping to share a tasty dessert with someone, might we suggest that you opt for the crawfish maque choux that’s more like a decadent pudding than the classic dish made of peppers and corn.
