  Holla!! I'm so jealous, I've always wanted to go there. I don't have any suggestions, but I know you'll have an awesome time as my friends who've gone have had nothing but great things to say about it.

  Yay!!

  
  

  Definitely get coffee and beignets!! Cafe Du Monde is my preferred stop for this; they're in the French Quarter.

  
  

  Check out restaurants around Bourbon Street. There are some freaking amazing seafood places (we ate at Acme Oyster House last time I was there...YUM!!). I believe both Emeril and Guy Fieri have restaurants in NOLA (I know at least Emeril does), but I'm sure you can get better, more authentic cuisine elsewhere for less.

  
  

  Do the Garden District walk/trolley ride. The architecture is beauuuuutiful!

  
  

  St. Louis Cathedral is just off the river in the French Quarter, too. It's a major landmark.

  
  

  Just wander the French Quarter in general; there are a ton of interesting shops and things to see. You can take in several blocks in one day. There is at least one very cool old cemetery to check out as well.

  Fun, I think you made a great choice.
  
  We did a fun vampire tour last time we were there.  It was campy and we had a good time, and it was kind of creepy.  It met in Jackson Square every night around 9 pm, there are brochures at the hotels.
  
  Jean Lafitte's Bar on Bourbon is the oldest structure being used as a bar in the US, so it was cool to have a drink there.
  
  Court of Two Sisters is popular for brunch.  We went to NOLA for dinner one night and it was AMAZING.   So is Boucherie.
  
  Also, if you are feeling adventurous try the tasting menu here:
  http://www.restaurantstella.com/
  
  Oh, you didn't even ask for food suggestions.
  
  Marie LaVaeau's grave is easy to find.  Go during the day only.

  I was planning on shamelessly begging for a date with yourself and MT as soon as my cold went away!

  Food suggestions are always welcome.  One of John Besh's places is on my list, but otherwise I'd love suggestions.

  
  

  That Stella tasting menu looks amazeballs.

  Is this for safety reasons or spooky reasons?
