Hey guys first time poster here. Couple of things:
1. Everything listed so far is great. My only critic is it's mostly the tourist stuff although in NOLA the line between locals and tourist blurs easily. Here are my recommendations:
1. Where is your hotel? Several heavily advertised hotels are in less than desirable areas and if you are not careful you will have to take an armored car everywhere....no not really but some areas have nicer thirds who say please. Lol.
2. Antoine's may be the oldest restaurant establishment in the country and is worth a try for history and architecture people.
3. I always recommend the world war 2 museum. Not only is it world class but it's an important reminder.
4. For jazz, there are two places on Tchoupitoulas st. (Chop - a - two - las). Which are great. Dos jefes is a little known cigar bar where locals go and play late at night. Tipitinas is also very nice. They have a cool foundation where they help kids get into music.
5. Other restaurants where the locals go: Toni Angelo's, la Bocca steak house, Arnauds, foodies really like anything owned by the Brennan family.
6. Swamp yours can be had out of lafitte. Worth doing once.
Depending on the days you will be here there are several great lunch/brunch experiences. If you need anything while you are here or have questions send me a PM I'll give you my digits.
