My husband and I are making our first trip to New Orleans this weekend and will be spending 5 days there. We are staying at the Omni Royal Orleans and would love suggestions for must-see attractions and great places to eat. (We are so excited to eat in N.O. - hear it is great!)

In addition, any suggestions for fun bars/pubs with live music?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey 2lovers, two friends and I are heading down there this weekend, too. We are just so excited. Am looking forward to reading the replies to your message.

We arrive on Saturday for a week's stay!!! I am so ready. The wonderful posters to this site have given lots of reviews/suggestions in previous post about what to do and where to eat in New Orleans. Here's to a great time in NOLA!!!

Hope you both have great trips! I cannot wait to leave!

Anybody want to meet at the bar in Tujagues around 7:00?
I'll spot all of you pretty easy....you're the blurry ones.

Hey Kal,
What day? Tujagues is a new one for me. Since it's you, I assume it's a bar.

Night Life - Pat O'Brien's
Romantic Dinner - Top of the Dome Steakhouse - a revolving roof top restaurant with magnificent views of New Orleans! (and the food is good, too)
A must do - Cafe du Monde -- a New Orleans tradition

BonMar,
THAT'S NOT FAIR!!! You just made me snort a soda through my nose!

Yes. It was soda too. Not 5:00 yet!
Tujague's (two jacks) is an old NOLA restuarant near the Cafe DuMonde.
We've had some great dinners there and had a few duds but the ambience is so NOLA, especially if you get a "room" upstairs.
Nice bar too. But then you knew I'd say that, yah?

I'm thinking of being there Friday but we can always come back so we can buy you a b'day cocktail...but P O'B's would be more traditional for a B'day drink in NOLA.

I'll be the one in the "Betty Ford Clinc" ballhat.
Let da gooood times rollllll.

Do you and Mrs Kal live in New Orleans? If so, we would love to meet you for a drink somewhere, to your choosing, Monday, Dec 1st?

cd, No. We live in No Cal outside of Sackatomatoes.
If you ever make it up here or to Napa/Sonoma, let us know.

We may go back to NOLA if the Kings play the Hornets on a weekend in 2004.
Cheers ya'll.
Kal
