Root, Tomas Bistro, Tommy's Cuisine, and Tommy's Wine Bar.
At the corner of Julia and Constance Streets is the Louisiana Children's Mu-
seum, which promotes learning through such exhibits as the Little Port of
New Orleans, Art Trek, and the Little Winn-Dixie Grocery Store. At the
Louisiana Hospitality Foundation Kids' Café, children learn about the city's

opening to rave reviews in 2013, has become one of the city's most talked-

New Restaurant in America, beating out three restaurants in New York and
one in San Francisco.
