re: New Orleans trip - help please

Thank you all to your replies. Typically, my wife and I do the same thing and stop at the same places (walk along Royal and browse the art galleries, take the streetcar to the universities and walk around Audubon Park while admiring the architecture, have breakfast at Surrey's, have drinks at the Monteleone, etc.) While some of this we will still do, we would like to mix it up from our usual routine given the sheer abundance of quality shops, restaurants, and establishments New Orleans offers.
