COOLinary encourages locals to experience their hometown more affordably than any other time of year while assisting the businesses that make New Orleans “one of the most culturally authentic destinations in the world.”
The 16th annual COOLinary New Orleans event (Aug. 1- Sept. 13) has an updated format. Restaurants will offer special two- and three-course lunch menus for $20 or less and three-course dinner and brunch menus for $39.

Our beloved restaurant community has been severely impacted by the pandemic crisis that began during their busiest season and the COOLinary campaign is a wonderful opportunity for us all to contribute to their success.” said Stephen Perry, president and CEO of New Orleans & Company. “The addition of take-out and delivery to the program will help our residents support these establishments in whatever way they feel most comfortable. We hope this is a time where we can rediscover New Orleans’ authentic spirit and fall in love with our hometown again.”
