It's a little bit out of your way, but if you've got time one morning, go to Camelia Grill, on the corner of St. Charles and Carrolton, and get an omelette. (If you take the streetcar up from the French Quarter, you'll get a nice view of a bunch of different parts of the city on the way.)

Also uptown, there's Jacques Imo's on Elm, which has really good food. There's usually a long wait, but you can wait at the Maple Leaf bar next door -- if no one answers in the restaurant when they call a table, they'll go check at the Maple Leaf.

suggest fun things for me to see/do/eat!

Mid-afternoon take a pit stop at the Napoloen House right in the Quarter and get a Pimm's Cup. It's barely alcoholic but very refreshing and it's lovely to sit there in the afternoon light.

Go to the Faulkner Book Store on Pirate's Alley. There's a funky little cafe in that alley too, that I like.

Stay away from Bourbon Street - you'll hate it. Super tacky sports bar /titttie bar places.

Walk down Royal Street and hit all the cool clothing and antique shops.

I also like the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone. It actually spins around (one revolution every 15 minutes).

You can take the Ferry to Algiers for free. It's a good cheap way to be out on the Mississippi. Do NOT get off in Algiers in explore, however.

These are all available in the Quarter.

If you are going to the St. Louis anyway, could you all check out the room we're going to be using for prom? La Lousianne, I believe. Too lazy to go back and check my own notes.

Absolutely. Also, go to the Cafe du Monde (next to Jackson Square) for beignets and cafe au lait. There's also K-Paul on Chartres Street.

There are some good restaurants, though. Arnaud's and Remoulade are both good. I like Patout's Cajun Cabin quite a bit. It's a bar, but the food is good, and they have live Cajun Music every night.

If you get over by the Convention Center, there a place called Mulates that I like.

There's also Commander's Palace out in the Garden District, owned by the same folks that own Bacco. You can get there by streetcar. The streetcar ride itself is great fun, and goes past the Audubon Zoo which is accross the street from Tulane.

If you like jazz, Preservation Hall is on St. Peter Street.

Definitely don't miss the Cafe du Monde. Eat a beignet for me. I hate to bring up the M word, but the muffalettas at Central Grocery are excellent.

'Cept for Laffite's which is at the end near Bienville, I think. I never remember what streets things are on, only how to get there.

Also if you want to look at pretty shiny things go down to the silversmiths at Toulouse and something or another, just down from the hotel, my friend Cynthia works there and she tells me about all their little pretties (Thought about explaining a story about a silver cow creamer involving my senior paper on Woodehouse, and then thought better and deleted).

ETA-

Yes!

I want a beignet very very much now. I hope you're happy with yourself, DX, because there isn't anyplace in Seattle that I know of that I could get one.

Did it involve Aunt Dahlia?

Ginger, is there still a Cafe du Monde in Underground Atlanta?

DX- I'm sure part of the paper did, but Cynthia helped me type it on an old word processor, and it did not like that phrase. Perhaps I'll invite her to the F2F and let her tell the story. She does it better.

Jilli, here.
