Isn't 219 a Cajun restaurant?  It is located right next to the visitor's 
center in Old Towne (the Ramsay House).

I feel the other way about Cajun and Thai food.  I think
that the Thai food is too greasy.  I ordered noodles one night from a 
restaurant on route 50 (the name eludes me right now) in Arlington.  The
amount of oil in the noodles made me ill.

Cajuns use many different spices in their cooking.  I really enjoyed 
eating the cuisine in the Nawlins area.
