Chuck answered:What to do depends on your age and what you like to do. Some definite must do's: take a walk along Bourbon Street and Royal Street, ride the streetcar down St. Charles Ave, visit the French Market, eat beignets at Cafe du Monde, walk along the Mississippi River on the Moonwalk, see the St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square. If you are staying in the city of New Orleans; all these are within walking distance. Other things to do: visit the aquarium, insectarium, or any of the museums. (pick up a visitors guide at the airport or a hotel for a small map and list of all things to do). A walk around the French Quarter......the small streets, balconies, and interesting architecture will relax your soul. Interesting restaurant Sylvain at 625 Chartres. Take a short trip to Magazine Street for shopping and lunch. Enjoy...... Enjoy

Alistair answered:I will let the locals weigh in with their favorite spots to party and hang out, but just wanted to share a couple of places I've enjoyed on past visits to the Big Easy. First up was a lovely little joint called Bridge Lounge, which is on Magazine Street in the Lower Garden District. Here, you can join the locals for mojitos and live music (I was put onto this place by a friend who was a grad of Tulane). A little closer to the French Quarter tourist zone but not in the thick of Bourbon Street madness, the outdoor patio at the historic Napoleon House was a chill place to enjoy a cocktail. Plenty of haunted choices (apparently) in this city of ghosts and voodoo; check out this list of ideas on about.com (my favorite being Hotel Provincial, once a Confederate hospital in the Civil War -- yikes, scary! Are you sure about that idea???) http://goneworleans.about.com/od/hotels/tp/hauntedhotels.htm
