    3) See cool stuff. I'm staying at a hotel right by Bourbon Street. I'll be limited to walking, as I won't have a car, as the hotel will bring me from (and back to) the aiport. I don't know how large Bourbon Street is, or how much stuff there is to see there, or how safe it is, for that matter. Is it the same as it was pre-Katrina (I don't know why I'm asking that, b/c I don't know anything about it pre or post Katrina)?
    Plenty of cabs available in NOL, as while as a streetcar line.

    You gotta drink a hurricane and there used to be a store called Huge Ass Beers to go. You need to buy a beer from there just because you're a rockstar. http://www.hugeassbeers.com/

    Patty O'Briens is right near the quarter and a fun piano bar with drunken singalongs. There a lot of good restaurants right in the quarter as well.

    PAT O'Brien's. Have a hurricane.

    Cat's Meow is a great karoake bar. Have a burger at Port of Call.

    That's what I'm talking about! Look at that menu!

    I was also told about a place called the Acme Oyster House. I'm told this place is very real, too. My buddy told me he literally at there at least once every day he was there.

    It is real. I grew up there. Eat as much food as possible. Then eat more, then take some home with you.

    This is bullshit. You'll be fine. Just be smart, like in any city.

    There's also a place called Dunbar's that's on Pine St. We went there all the time in college. Fantastic red beans and rice!
    Free ice tea if you're a student (at least it was in the mid 90s).

    Like Wilco? They are playing at Tiptina's tomorrow and Wednesday night. I'll be there both nights...could even have an extra ticket.


    Oh shit, DD! You're going to have a blast. Wish I could be there, too. Do they serve Natty (for Fanch's sake)?

    Fanch, you gotta do this! Trust us. :cool:

    Your post rules!

    Wilco? I thought about it, but not a fan of Wilco, so I think my time may be better used checking out the sights. Plus, I'm going for a conference that I actually have to learn from. :)

    I'll be there at the end of the month for business. How exciting! Any good vegetarian food?

    Weak. Here's a whole thread about being awesome in New Orleans, and you have to come and ruin it with a PC post about vegetarian food.

    Booooooooooooooooooooo!
