Hey everyone, Scott and I are going to New Orleans at the end of March...any recommendations?

I'm psyched that I can finally check it out!

I can mostly recommend places to eat. :) It looks like a hole in the wall, but Country Flame has good cheap Mexican food. I enjoyed brunch at Cafe Amelie, dinner at Mimi's, breakfast at Huey's. 2006 trip diary.

Look at Chuck Taggart's blog. He's a New Orleans ex-pat that goes back a bit and writes about the food and bar scene. A big cocktail geek (one of his cocktails, the Hoskins, was on the menu at Eastern Standard for a long while).

I prefer staying at the Place D'Armes

Coffee and Beignets from Cafe Du Monde.
1135 Decatur for small gothy clubby awesome times.
Lafite's for a candle-lit hurricaine
Pat O'Brien's for walking drinks (food's good too)
Barbecue Shrimp at Desire

avoid drinking a "hand grenade"
