Oh man... I was sitting at Alana's for the wine dinner and Alana came out and gave Patrick Allen a whole list of recommendations, since he was headed there.
They sounded good and I almost took notes. Anyone who was sitting there remember?

Napoleon House for their famous muffaletta sandwich. They also have po boys& jambalaya and red beans& rice. For a more upscale dinner, Bayona's is amazing. Drinks at Fritzel's New Orleans Jazz Bar is one of the only reasons to hit Bourbon Street. IMO all the good stuff is off that street unless you are into all the craziness. Fahy's is a great Irish pub/ neighborhood bar on Burgundy. Make sure you get down to Frenchman Street. There are some good bars there as well. The Clover Grill is fun for breakfast& they are open 24 hours. It is such an amazing city! Have a great trip!

actually they only sell them at one place on Bourbon st. Yup totally touristy, but if you go to N.O. for the first time you have to do at least one tourist thing don't you?
Plus it's everclear plus whatever they put in it to make it taste good.

Thanks, SJT. Looks like we're on the same wavelength!
This is my list so far:
- Arnauds for a sazerac
- Bayona for dinner
- Casamentos for oysters (and avoidance of Acme House)
- Clover Grill for late night/early morning eats
- Domilise or Johnny's for po boys
- Magazine Street area for bars/shops/people watching
- Frenchmen Street for music
- Liuzza's By The Track for neighborhood dive
- Apple Barrell for small, live music venue
- Court of Two Sisters for Sunday jazz brunch on the patioPosted 2 years ago # -

Frenchmen Street is great for music, as is The Maple Leaf Bar which is next door to Jaque Imo's for great cajun food. Louisiana Music Factory is a great record store worth checking out. Port Of Call on Esplanade has fantastic burgers and stiff drinks.
I believe the official recipe for a Hand Gernade is Grain Alcohol and Green.

Deepwood makes a killer Sazerac...or their version of one...ah.maz.ing. Go there right now and drink one. Get one to go for me.

I highly recommend Acme Oyster House, right in the the middle of the French Quarter, it's great to start off here with a couple dozen oysters then head down to Bourbon Street. (NM, i see you have another preferred oyster destination.)
Also, for upscale, I'd recommend Cochon (for lunch if you're on a budget). We chose this place for one of our "own time" meals when we were in town for a wedding last year. Great fried pigs ears and rabbit livers.
Cafe du Monde is definitely open late but it's kinda a weird vibe... you know, recent immigrants (asian during the day, african late night) serving traditional fried doughy things. I'd try Cafe Beignet (i think that's the name) instead.

Marginy - Frenchmen Street.
I really like the dba, great bar, great beer list, great music. The Blue Nile is also cool. As a matter of fact I tend to hang out on the street and purchase to go beverages from a market and have a blast.
Here is a New Orleans live music calendar link. If you are around Monday I highly suggest seeing Papa Grows Funk.

You must go to Domilise's for a po boy. It will be the best thing you do.

We usually eat here a couple of times if we're in NOLA. SE corner of the French Quarter. Very good pizza in a great cafe setting.
*special local note - there was a triple murder of employees that occurred in this place back in '96
Also, used to go to Angeli's which is nearby on Decatur, but it's changed hands at least once since then so I'm not sure how good it is anymore.

And actually I avoid tourist stuff like the plague. There's usually too many fucking tourists for one thing :-p
