I need an update list since the last New Orleans thread is from 2012.

Best place to stay for the 3 of us. My daughter will be 16 by then.
Other than the Café Du Mond and Brennan's to eat and I want to stay in the Quarter
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

The Holiday Inn on Royal has always been good and affordable.

Its right across from Mr B's which is really good. The Gumbo Shop is really good. Commanders Palace and Upperline are both out of the Quarter and great.

The fact that you can type the words doesn't stop the thought behind those words from being horseshit.

If not on a budget hard to beat staying at The Roosevelt on Baronne Street just off Canal.

Can highly recommend Muriel's Jackson Square if you are looking for a really nice dinner.

  The best advice I can give you for a Summer Trip to New Orleans is go as early as you can. New Orleans is just not as much fun in August..hot as heck is an understatement.

Go to Central Grocery and get a muffuletta.  It's a little hole in the wall place and you'll probably have to stand in line, so, go early for lunch.  It's worth it.

Thanks guys but we got to replace the HVAC unit and there goes our out of state trip for this summer.  Our Unit is 14 years old and has a galvanized Cooling coil that is rusting and clogging up the drain line.

Hogs have hit a wall at the wrong time of the season.  I will go on record now and say they may not even get out of their regional.  The hitting has been carrying them with a few good pitching outings but they just don't have the reliable pitching they need to get back to the CWS.

I wish we teach school and our daughter will be a JR this fall and she is in the Band and a Cheerleader.

  Delta, New Orleans around the Holidays in so nice and very family friendly. We have gone between Christmas and New Years several times and just made the trip the bulk of our Holiday spending in lieu of a bunch of presents.  Great Memories.

Throw it away.  I'll sort you out.

What type of trip are you looking for?  I'm good with family friendly or where to have breakfast with strippers at 4am.

Treat yourself to a stay at the Windsor Court.

I bet you'd like the WWII museum. Stephen E. Ambrose (wrote Band of Brothers) founded it in 2000 as the National D-Day Museum.

If you're driving down, stop at Middendorf's.

 Delta, be sure to visit St Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square. It's free and open to the public. We have attended mass there a couple of times even though we aren't catholic.

  Have your daughter's portrait done by one of the street artists...check out their work and decide. Truly worth the money imo.

  There is a caroling in the quarter event that I've been wanting to go to. It's usually Dec 22 or 23. A bunch of people holding candles and singing Christmas carols sounds like a blast.

  Wherever you stay take the trolley car and go to the end of the line and back. The Garden District is beautiful..you can get on and off and walk around and explore.

  The aquarium is a quality experience if you haven't done something like that before. Take the ferry from the Quarter across the river to the West Bank.

  Visit one of the old cemeteries ...really cool.  We have driven the River Road and seen all the old plantations like Oak Alley...a nice side trip for sure... Jeez, now I can't wait for my next trip to New Orleans.
