Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
massive, two-story sports enthusiast's dream. Huge flat-panel TVs are everywhere, and
there's not a bad seat in the house. There's also a TV and radio broadcast facility inside
(from which you can catch live broadcasts, especially when the local teams are playing)
as well as a massive game and interactive sports arcade.
HOUSE SPECIALTIES
A variety of sliders (three little sandwiches such as cheeseburgers and
barbecued pork) and the barbecued baby back ribs. A variety of salads are fresher and
livelier than they have been in the past.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
Most of what comes off the grill or as a sandwich or appet-
izer is a safe bet. The more complicated the dish, the more likely it won't measure up to
expectations. Wings, burgers, sliders, and a surprisingly good mahimahi tostada rank as
your best options.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS
The ESPN Zone is a three-ring circus—food and beverages
oozing from every corner, more televised sports feeds than you can count, and an inter-
active game zone. Kids will love the manic pace and endless ways to spend more of your
money,aswell asthekid-friendly fare.Eventeens will haveareasontosmile here(hoops,
a batting cage, and a climbing wall). And adults won't feel guilty over letting the young-
sters run amok while they soak up quite possibly the largest televised sports feed on the
planet.Thefood'simproved,theserviceissteady(patientifnotalittledistractedattimes),
and you may find yourself in the studio audience for one of the many taped and live sports
broadcasts produced right in front of you. When local teams (Lakers, Dodgers, Kings, An-
gels, Clippers, or Galaxy) are being televised, waits for tables can be excruciatingly long,
even with reservations.

SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE
In the heart of New Orleans Square, The French Market sug-
gests a laid-back Southern vibe with lots of wrought iron under the shade of large, mature
ficus trees. There's a small indoor dining area, but the best seating is outdoors on a large
patio, covered with umbrellas and shadowed further by the trees.
HOUSE SPECIALTIES
ThemenufeaturesroastedchickenbreastwithcitrusandCajunspices,
panko-crusted red snapper, and roast beef with Cognac. The jambalaya is a hearty, savory
alternative that hits the spot on cooler winter days. Most meals come with a side of rice or
mashed potatoes and corn bread.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
Hearty soups; a few fresh and flavorful salads (including a
yam and apple salad).
