Don’t get confused if you look in an old phonebook: The new College Inn re-located right next door to the old one. Either way, you should be able to tell what’s what when you get there judging by which building has people eating messy-delicious roast beef po’boys on top of white linen tablecloths. Ye Olde College Inn has been around since 1933 and evolved right along with the city; the regulars find their same spots at the bar every night. If you eat here first, you’ll get a discount at Rock’n’Bowl lanes right down the road, since the same family owns both. Hit up a Zyde-Cajun breakfast on the weekends for good food and good music.
