I just went in April and I LOVED it...such a great city! Here are my recommendations: -Red Fish Grill (make sure you get the bread pudding!) -Cafe Du Monde...multiple times  -We did a walking tour that was really interesting and is a good way to learn a lot about the history of the city and the people -Go to a performance at Preservation Hall (we saw the All Stars)...it's a small venue and a step back in time -Take the ferry to Algiers Point and walk around-Swamp tour -Plantation tour (we did Oak Alley and Laura) -Go to Mulate's for dinner...they have live music and fried alligator! Have a great time...I'd go back in a heartbeat! The food is to die for and it's a great city with a ton of character! ETA: The Ruby Slipper is another good breakfast/lunch place...I believe there are two locations.  |

DH and I went last year for 4 days and had a blast. We parked our car when we arrived at the hotel and didn't get back in it till we left to go home. We walked just about everywhere. Our favorite things were a cemetery tour, air boat tour, WW II museum (the 4D interactive theatre is not to be missed) and just riding the trolley. We want to go back sometime when we have more time.

How did I forget YoMamas- it's super cool upstairs! Get the peanut butter burger. Sounds crazy but it's fabulous and one of the recipes that we duplicate at home, it's not the same but it gets us by until the next trip.

I went about 12.5 years ago and still to this day remember the best Muffaletta sandwich I had was at The Napoleon House in the French Quarter. Nothing has even come close sine and these suckers are HUGE. I got 1/4th of one and it was enough to fill me up.
