[Dixielandjazz] The Cajun-NYC

[Jeanne Brei]

Hey Rob,
   Nope, Cajun's is not a dive -- it's actually a very small, lovely
restaurant serving N'awlin's style food with live trad jazz musicians
playing every night. You walk thru the bar to get to the dining room in the
back and the band plays against the back wall...one of my favorite nights of
the week there is Wednesdays when the fabulous Eddie Davis (banjo) plays
with his group of great musicians...but every night of the week they feature
the best trad jazz musicians in town!
    Enjoy the beignets and jazz with your son!
Jeanne Brei
