Café NOLA-NOLA representing New Orleans, Louisiana-serves a variety of Cajun specialties including po' boys, ettouffee, jambalaya, dirty rice, gumbo and alligator bites. Owner Kevin Brown insists that his traditional Cajun fare is not all about being spicy. "Louisiana cooking has the unfortunate reputation that it has to be hot and spicy," said Brown. "This is simply not true. The true art of Cajun cooking is the unique blend of herbs and spices that serve to enhance the flavor of vegetables, seafood, meat, poultry and wild game. In addition, the chef must know how to blend the ingredients together."

The opening of Café NOLA bolsters Union Street's growing business corridor stretching from Union College to the heart of downtown," said Jim Salengo, executive director of the Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corporation. "The Browns' investment, coupled with a complete facade renovation - assisted by DSIC and Metroplex and a major interior renovation assisted by the NYS Main Street program - have transformed this property into a bright new destination on the downtown map."

Brown's customers were the driving force behind his decision to open Café NOLA. His realtor guided him to the Schenectady row house that is now home to the restaurant, which has dining on two floors. The second floor can be used for private parties for birthdays, showers, holidays, graduations and other celebrations for up to 30 people. Brown also caters off-premises for as many guests as desired. The full menu is available for take-out.
