New Orleans Boudin

A guy at work used to swear by a sausage called Boudin. My kids are flying to New Orleans for NYE. Where in NO is recommended to buy a case or two & which types/flavors should I have them go after?
Any help would be appreciated.

Tell them to ride up to Gonzales to get some decent boudin. Thats the closest I know of for decent boudin from NOLA. If he can go to Scott (near Lafayette) he would hit the mother lode of the best there is.
If he can't leave the city the local grocers should carry Richard's or Manda's or Poche's that are in the sausage section. Those are nowhere near the quality of the ones he could get north and west of NOLA but do OK in a pinch on the grill.

Flavors? No different flavors. Just different tastes depending on who made it. I guess maybe you could get some smoked boudin and that would be different.
