Food-coma getaways-Time Out New York
“Stay here. Since you can’t exactly hunker down in a restaurant, consider the next best thing: staying on top of one. The aroma of samosas and po’ boys will filter up to your room at Balcony Guest House (2483 Royal St; 504-945-4425, www.balconyguesthouse.com; $79–$129), a petite B&B above Schiro’s Café / Julies Little India. In addition to serving both Indian and traditional N’awlins grub, Schiro’s is home to a bar, a grocery market, a liquor store and a Laundromat. “It is so naturally New Orleans, with all of the many concepts meshing into one,” says Tuennerman. It’s also convenient: Hearty breakfasts like salmon eggs Benedict and pain perdu are gratis, and you’ll have a complimentary Hurricane in your hand the moment you walk through the door.“

Best kept secret in New Orleans!
“I stay at Schiros every year. It’s just outside the French Quarter by a few blocks, so it is close, but not too close. The inn is on the second floor, and there is a balcony which wraps around and is open to all the guests. Right downstairs, is a cafe, bar, and grocery. I have everything I need when I stay there. The staff is down to earth locals, who bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. For example, On my first night, I arrived in the late afternoon and was too tired to go out. I called in my dinner order and sat out on the balcony for awhile. When I went downstairs to pick up my food, the inn keeper, Zak, asked if I needed anything. I replied that if I had a fan and a radio out on the balcony, I’d be in heaven. He immediately called for Rodriquo to go into his personal office, get his fan and radio and bring it up to the balcony for me. I sat out on the balcony that evening with my fabulous Indian dinner, a bottle of Shiraz, my osculating fan, and transistor radio. I was in heaven. 
I would never have received such personal service at a big hotel. The people at Schiros Balcony Guest House bend over backwards to serve their guests. A+++++ all the way!”

Great Local Secret
“We were so please with this little B&B. It is just a few blocks from the french quarter and there is parking on the street. The owner was very friendly and so was the staff. The cafe downstairs made it very convenient for a snack, lunch, or dinner. It’s not fancy, but very quaint. We will defiantly go back!”
