We’re heading to NOLA for Thanksgiving Game from San Antonio with the family. Taking my 4 year old daughter to first game. Any recommendations on where we could have a family meal for Thanksgiving before the game?

Budget? How much per person?

Overnight Stay?

ATL Game is that night, so are you looking for a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner that day and then work your way to the Dome for the game that night?

Dress Code? I ask because some folks like to dress, go back to their rooms (or relatives) change into game fan gear then head to the game...

Two years ago I took my wife on a "Baby-moon" to New Orleans during Thanksgiving. We also took in a Saints game and had a blast. You'll find many restaurants are closed for Thanksgiving Day. I would HIGHLY recommend a reservation at Shaya.

James Beard award-winning chef Alon Shaya (formerly under John Besch) making modern Israeli food on Magazine St. incredible flavors, something different than what you probably eat (im guessing) and a great experience to talk about.

I've been in the food and beverage industry for decades. Trust me.

Shaya is awesome ... but not your traditional Thanksgiving fare. I know there are some classic spots that serve Thanksgiving Dinner. I have bowling league soon so give me a chance to get back.

Thanks JP. I should’ve provided more info. We are arriving Wednesday and leaving Sunday. Staying in the quarter. Budget is up to 150 per person. We will have a couple small children so we probably will not go somewhere too formal. We will be heading back to our hotel before the game so my 4 year old can get a nap in before the game. I appreciate any feedback. Thank y’all.

I always like to go to Deanies at least once when I come visit.

Ok, I didn't know the budget but it's hard to find a TG meal, great quality at least on TG. I would also look into country clubs in the area. Some do a great job with holiday meals and might be able to buy spots prior for non members.
