Food scene
A great place for groups to enjoy a meal, so many options as well as a full bar. And the communal seating is perfect if you all don't want to worry about a reservation!

It's so so so much better than it may sound when you first hear of it. Yes it's a Po-Boy shop that also has daiquiris and a laundromat. BUT it is the absolute best 24 hour food you can get, much better than anything you'll find late at night on Bourbon Street. Do yourself a favor and order it online and just pick it up on your way home!
I am not a fan of grits in general, but the corn grits are one of my favorite things!

Great Colombian food! I suggest booking in advance if possible, it's a small restaurant and fills up quickly! All the drinks are specialty and everyone I know loves them!

Great wine & cheese selection as well as some food items. Live music abounds in this neighborhood spot. It's first come first served (and seated) so get there early, especially if the weather is nice!

Sightseeing
One of the best museums in New Orleans. Definitely on par with any museum in Washington DC. I highly recommend the movie experience, but pick that time first before you plan out your day! And double check the hours of the museum.

Neighborhoods
A beautiful old neighborhood in New Orleans with tons of character and lots to see as you walk around. You'll run into shops, restaurants, coffee shops and I'm sure a lot of locals too.
