Deanie's for lunch or dinner. Awesome food and not expensive.

Dicky Brennan's if you feel like throwing down some $$.

La Fittes is my favorite bar down there...one of the oldest in America. ALL the way down Bourbon though. If you go, tell Chris, the hottest bartender in LA, I said hello.

I know men hate to do it, but have at least one 190octane daquari. And once you find yourself hammered in the quarter....Ali Baba gyros are the best things ever.

Have a great time!!!!!!

Pretty sure Razzoo is gone.

Some quality suggestions in this thread so far.

I'll add:

1) Cafe Maspero (corner of Toulouse and Decatur) for reasonably priced good grub. $2 Abita Golden as well.
2) Chart Room (Corner of Chartres and...uh...some other street)...dive bar with some colorful local characters.
3) Port of Call (way on the other side of the Quarter) for great burgers.  Surprising side dish with the burgers.
4) po boy from Johnny's
5) See a band at Tipitina's
6) Take the street car to the other end of St. Charles (out by the levee) and hit Cooter Brown's for some serious local flavor
7) Get beignets and cafe au lait at Cafe Du Monde...or if the line is too long (and it usually is) go to any of the 100 Cafe Beignets around town.

Also, down off Magazine Street are some eclectic bars and clubs and cafes.  Recommend Slim Goodies for a hangover helping greasy breakfast - you can do eggs and hashbrowns and bacon or specialty of the house breakfast buritos - it is CASH ONLY tho, so be prepared.  It's a fifties diner meets hippie commune... a Jerry Garcia Waffle House... and the food is AMAZING.

Last time we went to NO my wife and I had to basically eat steamed white rice for a week to get the system back in order.  If only Jamie Lee Curtis had let us know about Activia in those days.

On the last day we had to check out of our hotel by 10:00 am and the shuttle wasn't picking us up for the airport until 11:00am.  Luckily there was a bar in the hotel open so we just rolled the suitcases in there and drank Hurricanes (hers) and Bloody Mary's (his) for an hour.

     Katrina wiped out a couple of my favorite places, but if you like micro brews the Crescent City Brewery on Decatur is pretty damn good.  Beautiful bar, great beer, great food, and usually a jazz band playing.

A tip on Cafe du Monde -

There's a side door that enters the restaurant.  Fuck the line.  Go in through the side door and find a table.

The police would never allow that in New Orleans.  They roll you onto your side so you don't drown in your own vomit.

I love watching Cops when they are at Mardi Gras.  They are about to slam some dude onto the deck, and he's begging, "please don't throw me on the ground."

No, sir.

We had actually planned this trip before we were engaged.

I had to pay for the vacation days, which blew.

Us and three other couples planned this like 9 months in advance.

I'm not Mr. LaRae until December.

NO was an interesting place to visit. Bourbon Street was fun the two nights we went up and down, but it kind of became the same thing, walk up and down (drink) and people watch.

Did the Café Du mont-Meh- Over priced powder sugar. But you go at least once. Went in the side door by the front-Sat right down. Walked around Jackson square.
Did two sister café for the brunch Friday morning. Excellent food.
Took a tour of the city Friday afternoon-They allowed to drink on the bus-We made them pull over a few times. The way they use to bury folks there was interesting. They now allow cremations.   9th ward (different world) The driver took us to spot and told that where we were sitting that during Katrina the whole bus would have been under water.

Other eatin places.

Port-of-call-shit load of beer and best burger I’ve had in a while all for a good price.
Brennan’s
NOLA (most over priced place)
Hotel restaurant.  (see pic of oysters)
