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!!!!!!

Make sure you check that the hooker isn't packing more punch down there.

Well, taking the wife so I don't think I'll have much time to wonder about-Unless she falls out early one night.

(putting a game plan together now)

WTF.

Her job is to help pick them up.

There are things you can slip in her drink to make that happen

Yo Mama's for crawfish and of Mothers for a po boy and gumbo.

Oh and Razoos for afternoon cocktails on the patio, just don't let Ogre buy you a shot tray unless you're a gamer.

Not the same post-Katrina.

Hit Gumbo Shop instead.

And Central Grocery for a muffuletta.

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.

And if you happen to go through Santa Rosa Beach anytime....Miss Lucille's Gossip Parlor is just the titz for coffee and cream cheese bagels
