Top 8 things to do in New Orleans

With an unprecedented number of friends visiting New Orleans in the next couple of months, I put together my top list of things to do.

• Spend evenings on Frenchmen Street rather than Bourbon Street.
• Walk down Royal and check out the antiques.
• Have the double chocolate bread pudding at Red Fish. (We usually split an appetizer and the bread pudding.)
• Have goat cheese crepes at Muriel’s at the bar.
• Take the cocktail tour. There’s lots of fun historical stories involved.
• Talk to the locals, especially on buses.
• Have stuffed chicken wings at Nola’s.
• Take the street car out to the Garden District and walk around.

And a bonus one:

• Have a chicken biscuit at Johnny’s Po-Boys for breakfast.

Enjoy! And then tell me what you’d add …
