Ok The Most Inexpensive Way To See New Orleans Is On Its Street Cars, St Charles Route Is 1.25 Per Person One Way, Takes About 45 Mins To 1 Hr One Way, In The Quarter Eat At Irenes, Have A Drink At Pat Obriens, Take In Mass At St Louis Cat., The Zoo Is Great At That Time Of Yr, Take A River Boat Ride On The Creole Queen, Approx Hr And Half, Aquarium Is Outstanding, But Don't Miss The D Day Museum, I Live Here And Can't Believe How Great It Is.............texas Holdem At Harrahs, Be Careful Protecting Your Hand Is Impossible At 3/6 Or 6/12, Out Towners Watch Tv And Believe This Wsop Time................river Walk Next To The Hilton Is Full Of Shops, Restaurants, Overlooks The River....................enjoy Yourself

Bud Gregg really gave you some great advice !!! Everything he mentioned is well worth doing. Make a note on everything he outlined.

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities ... the food is outrageous - the music - the women - the whole ambience.

Try to get a reservation at " Commander's Palace " It's one of the finest restaurants in the world. It's pricey but the food is wonderful . Also, their wine collection is 2nd to none.

Have a Ball , Knock and try to get some sleep when you're down there . With so much going on all the time you'll need to force yourself to get rest when you can.

Have a great stay - I know you'll have a ball.

Best Regards,

Neil

Oh PS - There are some areas that you should definitely stay away from. High Crime in some surrounding areas. Make sure your hotel concierge briefs you fully on where not to go. Follow his instructions and you'll have the time of your life.

Bud and Neil, I really Appreciate the advice!!! This is Very Nice of You all and I really do Thank You!!! I will be sure to Thank You again later!!! Sorry I'm in a Hurry now but will get back later!!! Will probably keep Bumping this until I go, hope B.C. doesn't mind!!! Thanks Again, your B.C. Brother!!! Woody!

Like Bud Gregg, I too am from the New Orleans area. He mentioned tons of things that are worth spending time doing, especially the D-day museum. Take note of what coverboy told you, there are definitely some areas you do not want to change a flat tire in around here, LOL. The one draw back to living in N.O. is that when we go on vacation, the food usually sucks compared to what we get treated to everyday down here. Enjoy your stay.

Knock,

There is some great advice in the above replys. Definately go to the D-Day museum, a must see, and Pat O'Brians as well. Enjoy the sites in Jackson Square, French Quarter, and the Riverwalk. Great information at (nola . c o m). Also check out Cafe Du Monde. Have Fun!

Ralph & Kacoo's it's on Toulouse st.
Caf'e Maspero it's on Decatur st.


Ralph - they have a kick ass seafood platter..
Maspero- Giant roast beef sandwich.. They are very causal places..

[cha-ching]

go to Central Grocery Co. on 923 Decatur st.the best sandwich you'll ever have" muffuletta".. that is the name of the sandwich, they have them through out the city. but the best is at the Central Grocery Co. have good trip

[RJeremy]

I will second the strip club and the Utah St. plays!!!

[ogarza]

Careful

Whatever you do just make sure you don't get drunk and take swings at the bouncer when he is trying to drag you out of the bar...it'll get you a sleepover in their jailhouse and cost you bout 600 bucks...
