Mara's Homemade!!! I spent a few months in New Orleans and, trust me, this place comes REAL close - I'd say the only thing keeping it from actually being THERE is that it's generally more expensive than New Orleans food, but it's not very expensive by city standards at all (circa $15 per entree). They have quite a few different kinds of Abita - in fact, it's the only brand of beer they sell! If you order dessert, make sure you have someone to share it with, because it's heavy as hell. You can look at their menu online.

342 East 6th St Between 1st & 2nd Ave (much closer to 1st)
Take F train to 2nd Ave and get off at the 1st Ave exit, and I guess you can also take the L train to..not sure what stop.

the one on 9th Ave may be called Po Boys at the corner of 48th street

Do a search on Chowhound.

I think the Delta Grill is the place you are searching for on 9th ave. The best crayfish etouffe in nyc

I'm from New Orleans and when I was in NYC this past summer I ran into a restaurant named Jacques-Imo's (same sign and everything from the one in NOLA). It wasn't the same owners-I asked- but good friends of the owner's of the original and bought the rights to the name...anyway, food was awesome just like the one from home. It's on the Upper West Side, just don't remember where exactly. And a few of the people working there went to Tulane so it was like home away from home.

Oh and NYSFT,it's craWfish, not crayfish when you're talking about New Orleans food.
