When you visit historic New Castle, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time to the 17th and 18th century, pretty much anywhere you go! There are a few spots that don’t quite fit the theme, though, and one of them is the cajun restaurant that feels a lot more like Mardi Gras than 4th of July.

Nora Lee’s is one place that stands out from the rest of the New Castle scene.
