Where to find girl dinner in New Orleans

Catch up quick: The phenomenon may have always existed but it got a name when TikTok user Olivia Maher was — delightfully — on a self-described "hot girl walk" with a friend and thought up the title.

• Maher told the New York Times that the pair were extolling the virtues of a simple meal of bread and cheese.
• "It feels like such a girl dinner because we do it when our boyfriends aren't around and we don't have to have what's a 'typical dinner' — essentially, with a protein and a veggie and a starch," Ms. Maher said.

The term caught on, and one of the most popular iterations of the meal is a salad, French fries and a cocktail or Diet Coke.

Here's where to find girl dinner-inspired specials in New Orleans:

🍸 JusTini's offers "girl lunch" on weekdays from 11am to 3pm.
