What Should I Try In New Orleans?

Stay clear of restaurants that are not busy. They're unpopular for a reason.
Wow, that should be fun, Kevin...I've only been to NO once, about...yes, twenty years ago, by myself. I took the train down when I was nineteen, I think. I had a great time and I always wanted to return. Where's Heidi when you need her? I bet she could answer this question. I taunted her this morning on facebook, so hopefully she'll see this thread.
Travel Channel has a New Orleans guide...

Beignets, Kevin.Be glad you're not a vegetarian. It is not a good city in which to be a vegetarian.
I'd send Heidi a note Kevin, she should be able to point you in some pretty fun directions.
You need to go to Cafe DuMonde and have chickory cafe au lait & beignets. Word is they are world-class.Plus, you'll need to sit there and channel me so I can finally try them. :)
def going to try beignets and gumbo/red beans & rice for sure. i love pecan pie so that will be a must also. we are arriving about a day and a half before our business monday and tuesday (during the day) so we will have some time to try some things. i am quite adventurous especially when it comes to eating
i will def post some pics and updates if anyone cares
Hallmarkey is a very Kansas City kind of word.
I care too and I don't care how Hallmarkey it sounds. We love pictures! (Cause some of us need to live vicariously through others. ;P )
Cafe Maspero, definitely. It's on Decatur close to the levee.Cafe du Monde, obviously.
Pat O'Brien's, entertainingly.
There's also Mother's but I prefer a place that's down the road and around a few corners and the name of which is completely escaping me right now - Sorry! But they have the best fried chicken!
thanks. i will try to check some of the places out. i will update with pics and info on my hoosier butt in the Big Easythanks sher!
Muffaletta at Central Grocery! Wait...is that even still there? Don't forget to take the St. Charles streetcar. Excellent people-watching and house-eyeballing.
yup. having fun. eating like a coyote in a bunny hutch. first night here i ate broiled oysters, crawdads and shrimp bisque soup. got up and ate breakfast buffet at Harrah's Casino (no gambling except for the weird sauce on my pork chop) then walked around looking for more places to eat. had beignets at Cafe du Monde with cafe au lait. wow, wonderful. going again in the morning. ate oysters on the half shell, jambalaya and a muffaletta in one sitting and finished off drinking a diet coke in a sports bar watching team USA win the hockey game. if i lived here i would weigh 4 bills easy.try to post some pics tomorrow. staying at the Crowne Astor on the corner of Bourbon and Canal. last night was the end of Mardi Gras (kinda). looked like if Dante ran Disneyworld
yea! Sounds like you are living it up right. :)
Nice, thanks for sharing Kevin.
Wanna go! Beignets sound really good right now. Great pictures, Kevin.
If anyone asks you where you got your shoes, tell them you got them on your feet. :)
Dude, you've been working out. Look at those arms!squeezes Kevin's bicep
hmmm. since i last updated i have eaten more oysters on the half shell, loads of humongo shrimp, roast beef with horseradish that totally snots you like it is supposed to, crab cakes, gumbo, red beans and rice, killa (i said killa) bread pudding, fried chicken and more beignets.they are gonna have to drag my chubby arse outta here baby.
I went to a seafood place in Metairie (a NOLA suburb where Heidi was born) that had the very best crab cakes I have ever had.
I ate so much my first day in New Orleans (beignets, pralines, amazing sandwiches on croissants) I could not even contemplate dinner.Which was a shame, because we went to Mother's. I sipped a 7-Up to try to settle my stomach while Chris ate red beans and rice.
righto jacks. i have been borderline ill since i've been here because i have eaten so much. tried to develop a smaller test portion strategy but it didn't work out so well because everything was delish. i walked around our convention with a spoon in my pocket in case they brought something else out. i surrendered my spoon at the end since i didn't want to nick it from the hoteli fly out in the morning. maybe a few more beignets early?
Definitely beignets, Kevin, even if you have to take them to go!
You can also get a bag of beignets at the airport - just in case.
