Summary: 

Can mainly suggest restaurants. (I always stay with friends!)

(The following are all in the French Quarter)

Breakfast:

	La Marquisa Pastry Shop on Dauphine St. -- Great French Pastry and
	great coffee.  They have another location on Ursuline.  There's also
	some other French pastry shop ON Jackson square, but the best is
	LM on Dauphine.

	Brennans on Bourbon St. -- Great drinks, great deserts, great
	Breakfasts.  But don't	go for dinner!  Ask for Cyril as your waiter.

Lunch &/or dinner:

	Galatoire's on Bourbon -- Old and famous.  Great food at reasonable 
 	prices.  But don't wear jeans or sneakers and you need a tie in the
	evening -- They wouldn't let the Vice President in w/o one, and they
	didn't let Elton John in w/ blue jeans.  (They have ties at the door
	you can borrow!)

	Maspero's on Decatur St. -- Wonderful seafood for Cheap!

	K-Paul's -- Paul Prudhomme's (has cooked at the White House)
	restaurant on Dauphine (I believe...).  Outstanding food, but
	expensive and there will be a long line unless you're early.

	The Cookery -- Student of Paul P. opened this place with is as good
	and as expensive, but there is shorter line!

	Don't Forget the Cafe' Du Monde at anytime for Coffee and Beignets.

	The west end of the quarter (Canal St. side) is more touristy, the
	east side (towards West Estplanade) has a lot of uh... local color.

	Royal St. has many art shops, as well as some very interesting book
	shops.

(Out of the quarter)

	For lunch and a real experience, try Flamingo's on St. Charles.

	For breakfast, The Camelia Grill on St. Charles @ Carrollton (right
	by the River).  Very New Orlean's style.  Also, very cost effective.

	For an outstanding selection of imported beverages and eaty-things,
	check out Martin's Wine Cellar on Barronne.

Hope I've been helpful!
