We will be staying in the French Quarter. Where should we go for really good po' boys?

From the Fairgrounds, Jazz Fest, considering midweek traffic, how long will it take for a cab to drive to the French Quarter? Is it easy to get a cab at the Fairgrounds?

Any special place to go for ice cream in New Orleans? French Quarter?

Ice Cream ->Angelo Brocato has amazing ice cream. When you enter, look at the door frame - you can see the high water mark from Katrina - about 3 feet from ground!

FWIW, the food at JazzFest is awesome (but the lines are long). I dream of etouffe.

About 1/2 hour from the airport, and 10 minutes from the fairgrounds, to the French Quarter.

I loved the po'boys at Cooter Brown's. Take the streetcar through the Garden district and get off at the river bend. Great sightseeing ride and great po-boys

If fabulous gelato is a possibility (rather than ice cream) try La Divina's

or Sucre's

A cab from MSY to the Quarter is a fixed rate of $33 plus tip

We had our Po' boy at the famous Johnny's and it was good. Best upscale meal Mr. B Bistro

Ro-Bears is my boys' favorite (mainly because it's the best/closest one to my mother's house).
