Like post-Katrina New Orleans, the city it so lovingly pays tribute to, downtown St. Paul's revived basement jazz space has made something positive out of the sad closing of the Artists' Quarter. Vieux Carre added some bold new flourishes to the beloved site while staying true to its character. The crew behind the Dakota Jazz Club took it over and not only brought back jazz, but a menu filled with New Orleans staples such as muffulettas, gumbo and sazeracs. Now Vieux is also the Twin Cities' nearest thing to an authentic Crescent City experience. 408 Saint Peter St., St. Paul; 651-291-2715; vieux-carre.com
