Honestly it seems like there's a good place around every corner in the French Quarter, but if you want some higher end dining, Antoine's is really good. Have the alligator bisque to start.

Welcome to Louisiana, Left Bank! Next week is Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, which concludes carnival season.

Lots of things to do, see, & eat in most foreign-feeling city in United States.

World class zoo & aquarium, world famous French Quarter, Jackson Square, beignets at French Market, oysters at Acme Oyster House or Felix's, my favorite Quarter restaurant is Mr. B's Bistro @ 201 Royal, Bourbon Street for its funky atmosphere, Palace Cafe on Canal Street (widest street in North America), St. Charles streetcar...

At track, I enjoy sitting in Paddock Bar (if you can get seat/table). I'm partial to corned beef sandwich & fresh-squeezed lemonade at Fair Grounds.

Laissez les bon temp rouler!

If you want a great sandwich get a Muffaletta sandwich at Central Grocery on Decatur Street in the quarter or a po-boy at Mothers on Poydras street.

If I get down there, I am eating there. The food looks like it would make a bulldog break its chain.
