Tips on New Orleans-updated

[Tiger Wench]

Not the same post-Katrina.

And Central Grocery for a muffuletta.

This man knows.

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.
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.

This man knows too.

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.

Pretty sure Razzoo is gone.

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

If you leave NO any other way, then you squandered your time there.

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.

Here's a tip: don't go to the below sea level, in a bowl, surrounded by a swamp, full of frenchies, the smell of vomit on every street cesspool.

     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.

And for God's sake, if someone asks you, "I bet you $5 I know where you got your shoes," don't take the bet.
