Thanks for the suggestions. We are just looking for some great live music. We are from NYC, so we are kind of looking for something different. Just want some good music, good drinks and fun people watching. Thank you for all of the suggestions thus far! I can't wait to show hubby this info printed out once we get to the airport. He has NO idea where we are headed for his bday!

If your from NYC then you will appreciate some great music at either the Ritz on Canal street or the Royal Sonesta.
DEFINATELY check out Ms. Anais St. John when you arrive. She usually is playing at the Royal Sonesta, but ask the concierge when you get into town and see where she is playing. She is just wonderful and you and your hubby will definately enjoy it.
Also check out to see where Iring Mayfield is playing.
Another great live music area is Snug Harbor.
Ray's on the river has just reopened I don't know if they are back up to snuff as yet.
Have fun.

Since it's your first trip - I recommend the "voodoo and cemetary" tour you can join at the Cafe Beignet on Royal St. - http://www.tourneworleans.com/cemetery_set.html
You'll hear a lot of great anecdotal history and see some wonderful sights in a lively and safe group setting.
The French Market is a great afternoon stop, then on to Central Grocery on Decatur for a muffaletta to take over the levee to eat & watch the river roll by.
Thursday night is usually Kermit Ruffins at Vaughan's - but don't leave town without seeing at least one local musical act at Tipitina's, the Maple Leaf, or Rock'n'Bowl.
We always return to the same spots each year... the Gumbo Shop for lunch, the brisket sandwich at Tujaque's bar, Crescent City Brewing, the seafood store in the French Market for fresh boiled shrimp, the grocery on Royal for fresh (or cold) crawfish. Make your own new traditions and have fun doin' it!
The Frenchmen's area in the Faubourg Marigny (our favorite spot in the City) is a great spot to enjoy the bohemian side of New Orleans. Music, food, arts, tattoo's... it's all within walking distance of the French Mkt end of the Quarter.
