What are you wanting to experience, more on the history end (if so, there are great walking tours - Friends of the Cabildo has some) or more of the food end? Do you want to shop (local artists all around Jackson Square), which is across the street from Cafe du Monde.

The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is located across the street from the Dday Museum and the port terminal. There are awesome exhibits and every Thursday Night there is a musical performance with fantastic musicians, bars, and the exhibits are open during the performance. You will have a blast and get a taste of what the south is all about! Check out www.ogdenmuseum.org to see what's going on!
