swscruiser Posted March 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If into history at all, I would try the WWII Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising_knc Posted March 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So many to choose from. I love Galatoire's and Commanders Palace. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarett Posted March 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If you like Oysters....you must goto Superior Seafood for their 3-6pm Happy Hour. Go see Jay at the Oyster bar. $.50 cent local shucks and $3 drinks. Enjoy!!!!!! 20 min trolley ride uptown from Canal Street. Board right outside the CVS.

crazycargirl Posted March 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2017 K Paul's by a landslide. Been there on many of our anniversaries and it never fails to deliver 100 percent. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep_Proudfoot Posted March 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2017 GW Fins for seafood. Acme for Oysters. Garden District tour if you like historic homes and gardens. Central Grocery for muffulettas. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted March 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm drooling and dreaming. Commander's Palace for expensive food and service that are worth it every penny. KPaul's for delicious food and memories of Paul Prudhomme. Brennan's for breakfast, a NOLA tradition. Central Grocery for the original Muffaletta to go. Sit in Jackson Square to eat it. Of course, beignets and chicory coffee at Cafe du Monde while you people watch. Acme Oyster House for the best Po'Boys ever, Mother's for a breakfast you'll never forget. Get there early and get in line. Biscuit and Debris is unforgettable. You'll have to stay several days, but a boat ride on the Natchez, a drive to see beautiful plantations, a walk through a cemetery, Audubon Zoo and lots more will help the time pass between meals.

alainamarie Posted March 16, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I live in NOLA, I'm happy to email you a list of "not to miss" that I send to friends coming here for the first time. Plantations, swamp tours, French quarter, and D-Day museum are definitely top contenders. Too many great restaurants to list!

nolatravelgirl Posted March 16, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Please let me know what you think is the best restaurant(s) in NOLA! We get free breakfast at our hotel. We will be using the trolley to get around. Also - Any advice on "Things not to miss?" This will be our first time to NOLA. Thanks in advance!!!! First off there are no "trolleys" in New Orleans, it is called a streetcar. While breakfast may be included, I would highly recommend skipping and going for a local breakfast since you have such a limited time in New Orleans and one of the main reasons to come here is for the food. Breakfast Options The Camellia Grill (take the streetcar to the original location) The Ruby Slipper Cafe Morning Call (my preferred beignet place) Cafe Du Monde Brennan's (Expensive but worth it) Court of Two Sisters (Brunch and a buffet which gives you lots of local options) Mother's (pick debris as your meat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Peachypooh Posted December 20, 2017 #25 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have only visited New Orleans once and only have two reference points. Café Du Monde (the one in the mall not the original) was fantastic. Antoine's had a $20.17 lunch that was literally the best meal I had ever had. I had the shrimp ettouffe but I am sure it was all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
