New Orleans for Presidents' Day Weekend
 
Hi, I'll be driving from FL to NOLA next Presidents' Day Weekend. It will be my second time there but first one as a tourist.
The only thing a have planned so far is to eat Cajun food at Cafe Des Amis and Creole food at Clancy's.
Do you have any recommendations on what to see and do in or around NO and do you have any other picks for restaurants specializing on either Creole or Cajun food but not a combination of both?
Thanks.

Not creole or cajon, but the best fried chicken I ever had was at Coop's Place down on Decatur.

Instead of going to Cafe Des Amis, I've decided to go to Mulate's in Braux Bridge. I've been reading some reviews and I found out that they have a more traditional Cajun menu than Cafe Des Amis.
I'm also planning to go to Central Grocery for their famous muffalettas and Mother's to have a Po'Boy for lunch.

Do you have any other culinary recommendation?
Thanks.
