are tri-color the same as seven-layer cookies? if so, i’m partial to the ones at monteleone bakery, court street btw union and president. they have other decent cookies as well. not superb, but okay. but the seven layers...

Monteleone's Bakery is legendary and has been on Newark Avenue for more than 50 years, just next door to legendary restaurant Casa Dante (which I believe just changed owners over the past year). The prices at the bakery are...

My lobster claw comment was to Court Pastry. The best in this area for cream puffs. Monteleone's might be a better place overall but Court Pastry is creme puff master.

Bros. on Henry and Sackett in it’s pre-Naidre’s, pre-Cher/Cage days. Unfortunately I missed those days. Maybe the handsome loaves at Monteleone and Cammareri successfully channel that same mid-century magic. But so...

great food, not bar food at all), and the Columns for bloody marys. In the Quarter, my favorites are Napoleon House (food is ok), and the Carousel Bar in the Monteleone hotel. Eat at Coop’s place (across from...

We really liked Monteleone's both for the quality and the prices. I only hope the prices will remain relatively close. I can’t imagine they will stay that cheap, though, after all the work they did.

I used to get the gelato at Monteleone's on Court street in Bklyn but over the years it just hasn’t maintained the same richness. Any suggestions?

entertaining on New Year’s Eve, then after dinner, some of my fave spots are the carousel bar in the Monteleone, Napoleon House, Jean Lafitte’s blacksmith shop, or the Bourbon Room would be nice, also looking out onto...

I hate the Uncle Louis G place on Henry St in Carroll Gardens....A bunch of High School Kids run the joint and the service is terrible....My favorite is to go to Monteleone's on Court Street for ices...The cream ice is to die for

While I am not a big fan of hotel dining, I have to report that one of the best breakfasts served in the Quarter is right inside the Monteleone. The service was extraordinarily good for a hotel dining room and the selections from...
