One of the highlights of springtime in the Big Easy is gathering with friends and family and enjoying a delicious crawfish boil. While the current circumstances and social distancing efforts may have put a dent in this Cajun tradition, some of NOLA's most popular crawfish restaurants are offering takeout and delivery orders to ensure you get that warm-weather fix of crawfish, potatoes, and corn.
