Cafe du Monde is an obvious favorite - but take cash! We found ourselves there one night with no cash and next to a broken ATM. The Carousel Bar in the French Quarter is a great time as well.KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605297062302330905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838259016251265825.post-36806301943180270952011-01-17T22:35:52.363-08:002011-01-17T22:35:52.363-08:00How fun!

Definitely walk through the French quarter and get beignets at Cafe Du Monde. It's touristy, but must be done if it's your first time in NOLA. Also, something a little bit more unusual but very awesome is to visit one of the famous cemeteries- they're beautiful! And of course, you have to see some live jazz before you leave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838259016251265825.post-26014763121039097822011-01-14T11:32:08.840-08:002011-01-14T11:32:08.840-08:00I just came back from a trip to New Orleans!

I did a couple of blog posts on my trip last year that you can see here: <br /><br />http://thisisallisonwonderland.blogspot.com/2010/01/french-quarter-tour.html<br /><br />http://thisisallisonwonderland.blogspot.com/2010/01/this-weekend-i-took-trip-to-new-orleans.html<br /><br />I haven't done a post from this recent trip but I highly recommend eating at NOLA (one of Emeril's restaurants) and Stanley. Also, in case you haven't heard yet, Cafe du Monde is a "must" but the service is pretty horrible. Just thought you should know ahead of time because a lot of people are disappointed when they get there and discover this.<br /><br />I also highly recommend riding the St.Charles line all the way to the end. It's a great way to see a large portion of the garden district in a short amount of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838259016251265825.post-70768133597628965082011-01-14T09:12:37.254-08:002011-01-14T09:12:37.254-08:00Have a blast - I'll take good care of Jenga! ...Have a blast - I'll take good care of Jenga!

It is one of my favorite places on this earth!<br />We lived in New Orleans for three years and I go back every winter for a couple of weeks. <br />A few of my favorite places are Bayona, the Marigny Brasserie, Cochon and Cochon Butcher.<br />If you want the best New Orleans BBQ shrimp, an absolute must in my opinion, go to Mr. B's Bistro.<br />Have fun!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838259016251265825.post-45404839165671129532011-01-14T07:13:57.923-08:002011-01-14T07:13:57.923-08:00What an exciting trip!

You ...My dad's side of the family is from NOLA. You HAVE to get beignets downtown at cafe de monde with coffee. seems touristy... but they really are the best there. It's beginning to be King-Cake season. Another must. Any bakery has them, and it's a great tradition to experience. I don't know the name of the restaurant, but in the square on the north west side, there is a place on the corner with red ceilings. It's amazing food and drink. Oysters...sitting at a bar are also great. When I go I usually just hang with my family and don't "go out" much, but there is a jazz/piano bar that is really popular in the french quarter that was really fun and quite beautiful. Hope any of that helps. Really get a king cake if you can, they are super fun!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137309336142852892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838259016251265825.post-16670486210889569282011-01-14T05:57:01.187-08:002011-01-14T05:57:01.187-08:00I'm so jealous! We went last summer, and I...I'm so jealous! We went last summer, and I've been itching to go back ever since. Some of our favorites: Muffalettas at Central Grocery, of course Beignets and Cafe au Lait at Cafe du Monde (I don't eat fried food, and I had to partake--so glad I did!). Forget the Hurricanes and try a Sazerac--it's much more authentic NOLA.<br /><br />My favorite meal was our big splurge at Commander's Palace. It was wonderful, and the wait staff seemed so delighted to serve us, we thought they would break out in chorus at any time. <br /><br />I would also recommend riding the St. Charles line out to the end, just to go through the beautiful garden district and to see the gorgeous college campuses. Other than that, just stroll through the neighborhoods and enjoy lots of good food and drink!Dorothy at Belle of the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746407425585286197noreply@blogger.com
