(Posted on 12/3/07 at 2:03 p.m.) I'm not just excited for the game, but also the chance to go to a city I’ve always wanted to visit. What are some of the places, restaurants, etc that are a must visit. Also, how is rebuilding coming, anything that would be a concern for visitors? Thanks in advance, see you guys in a month.

It's worth the wait because you can hang out and drink Monsoons, one of the best drinks in the Quarter. LINK

The ones there are trying, but unless something has changed in the past month or so, they're just understaffed in many places.

Downtown NOLA is in good shape - no worries there. To many good places to eat to list but here are a few: Emeril's, K-Paul's, Bayonna.

Great burger and steaks, great NOLA atmosphere, and the drinks are huge and strong as hell. definitly a place that locals go and most tourists never hear about.

Most of the tourist stuff though is located in the quarter, so you should be good to go. Restaurants are plentiful, and too many good ones to list. I suggest just finding the smallest dive you can and eating there. Thats usually where the best food is. And no matter what, you have to hit Bourbon St. after the game. Win or lose there will be a huge party going on.

So overated. My personal favorite place to recommend to out of town visitors is Commander's Palace, located in the Garden District. Best to go for lunch as its less expensive though you'll need a reservation. I also like the Rib Room at the Royal Orleans for a nice brunch/dinner. Favorite place to grab a bite in the Quarter is Remoulade's at 309 Bourbon. Also like the House of Blues.

Cafe Maspero. get there early as the line develops before 11am. sandwiches are thebomb.com (can't believe i just used that )
