Visiting next week...

The FQ is limited on traditional sports bars, but the American Sports Saloon on Decatur has a lot of TVs and decent pub fare that should suit your needs. Will definitely be people locked in on the Pels game.

If you want a really short Uber to a better sports bar you can try the Rusty Nail over in Warehouse District.

Manning's is overpriced but it's nice inside and it's definitely the biggest with the most TVs. You can walk there from the FQ as well.

Well that'd be redundant.

I’ve got 6 nights so will be eating out so anywhere recommended is good.

That's a long trip. I recommend doing some research and picking good spots to eat.

New Orleans is a world class culinary city but it is absolutely riddle with shitty tourist traps, just like any tourist city. Just walking into a place at random is not recommended.

Can you tell me a little bit about budget and your culinary tastes and we can point you in the direction of what will your needs.

If the weather is nice, you can either take an Uber to Midcity and sit outside and watch the game at Bayou Beer/Wine Garden...they have crawfish on weekends so that would be good for you! Also in that area is Wrong Iron, another popular, outdoor beer/wine garden.

You can also head Uptown and watch it at Tracey's Irish Pub which is a lively atmosphere.

Food options that are decent to good are numerous near where you are staying, so some thoughts on what you're looking for could be helpful.

Not for food. Experience sure. It’s old and a pretty restaurant.

You can get a somewhat similar experience at Commanders Palace with infinitely better food.

Commanders, Arnaud's, Galatoire, Broussards, Irene Cuisine, Pelican Club is awesome, are all excellent.

All but Commander's is in quarter.

Mr. B's is good.

highest recommendation (if the weather is nice)

Manning’s is not good at all food wise. Get a few drinks, watch game, eat at better places nearby.

Compere Lapin, Peche, Cochon are all relatively nearby and all wonderful.

Manning's and Tracey's sometime becomes the official team bar. They'll have the mascot and dance team there, do give aways. Fun when they do that.

French Quarter is ok for one or two days, tops.

There’s also:

Warehouse District and Uptown ( especially Magazine Street and Lower Garden District)
