1) Best Restaurant in New Orleans
D*ck and Jenny's (across from Save-A-Center on Tchopitoulas) (D*ck = nickname for Richard; NT is ridiculous)
This is a Cajun / Southern Restaurant w/ a fun atmosphere. Be prepared to wait on the indoor porch (waitresses serve appetizers and drinks out there). Attire is dressy casual
*Breakfast / Lunch (french quarter): Mothers, Court of 2 Sisters
*Dinner: Restaurant August (John Besh is the Chef), Emerils, NOLA and Delmonico (Emeril Lagasse's restaurants are pretty decent but don't have New Orleans charm imo)
2) Best PoBoy in New Orleans
Domelise's (hands down, no questions asked)
It is tough to find but is well worth the effort. It is unreal (go fried oyster and shrimp)
3) Cafe DuMonde for Begnets and Cafe Leche
4) Best Italian Restaurant
Irene's (fun atmosphere w/ a piano man who takes requests at the bar)
5) Best Burger
Port of Call (in the Marigny - the end of Bourbon St)
Great bar during the day and happy hour
6) Snowballs (a new orleans specialty)
get the blackberry cream w/ condensed milk @ plum street snowballs on plum street near tulane. It is unreal.
7) Harrah's Casino is downtown (if you gamble you will be here; it's one of my favorites)
