Appreciate the multiple Brocato suggestions. Looks great. Anyone been to Revel Cafe & Bar nearby? Seems like a solid place for a cocktail.

Would need to see if Tipatinas has a show that night.

Certainly worth a walk down St Charlees or Magazine and hit the chloe, delchaise, bouligny, columns...

I would do chargrilled oysters and maybe an app at superior grill. Not sure I would do the whole meal.

Shaya is nearby too.

Bacchanal on an early Friday/Saturday night is what you want, all outdoor tables, and good cocktail bar upstairs.


Looks like another couple people recommended this for some live music outdoors but with the option to be inside with the weather. Definitely jotting this down.

For sure - Thanks We definitely want to try what we can in the three days, so will be a lot of splitting stuff!

I’d skip
Parkway should scratch that itch. Surf and turf is great The roast beef can be a little bland but adding the fried shrimp takes it up a notch.
For something unique go across the river and check out Saint Claire
LINK

Parleaux is a yes. Hit up Bacchanal while you’re over there.

Sit on the front porch at the Columns and have drinks. Make sure to take the streetcar there

Live music...see if Tuba Skinny is playing anytime you're there.

Locals may turn their nose up a little bit, but a cup of gumbo and crab cakes at the bar at Mr. B’s is great, quick, and easy. Also breakfast at Brennans is top notch..

Ride the streetcars at least once for a couple of hours. With a cocktail in hand if you please.

It is touristy but I think visiters should take a horse drawn carriage tour of the quarter. Myabe with a Hurricane in hand.
