.. we're staying at the harrah's casino, so we can go either way high end or dressed down ..


Throw on a coat and tie and do Galatoires dinner. What the hell.

That's my input.

Pelican Club



I'm going Sunday if our plans don't fall through.


They open on Sunday night? I'm actually looking for a place to take some out of towners, and have been rather stumped. I don't like the places my wife has chosen so far.

If I were spending a weekend I may do something like this

Friday night: Tommy's - takes resv and walking distance from your hotel

Saturday Dinner: Either Mr B's or KPauls. My personal choice would be Mr B's

Sunday Brunch: Dante's Kitchen
Sunday Dinner: Pelican Club

If I were planning it, I'd do Brightsen's saturday night and Mr B's sunday and leave out the Pelican Club but I was trying to keep you in the FQ all day saturday. Sunday dinner is tough b/c a lot place aren't open except in the FQ so I think it'd be better do a FQ dinner on Sunday and hit Brightsen's on Saturday.

kpauls
Pelican club
Galatioires

You can't miss with those three.

WWII museum and Ogden is a grey combo with rio mar for lunch.

Drinks at the columns.
Greek festival is awesome.
Right by parkway is another festival. Bayou boogaloo.

Desserts:
Brocatos
Creole creamery

The ferry ride to Algiers is free and nice. Good English pub right when you get off, crown and anchor.

Quarter:
Historic new Orleans collection is free and nice. A stroll down royal is nice with a drink at Hermes bat or carousel bar.
Brocatos

Pop into the Country Inn and Suites at
315 Magazine street, and the table right there in the lobby is full of these magazines.
Hotel

They are free and you can roll it up and put it in your back pocket.

Bayona
Dickie Brennans
Brennans
GW Fins
Irene's
