ChiKat, that sounds likea winner! I thought your new sofa looked quite comfortable. What I look forward to is the cat foot warmer, I don't know what I'd do without one.
Yay! And, I'm sure Mickey will be glad to serve as foot warmer. He's good at that.
For a pricey but incredibly good brunch, I'd recommend Brennan's. And if you go there, you must try the brandy milk punch. Personally, I think that Court of Two Sisters is kind of overrated -- I've been there a few times, and the food was good, but I didn't think it was anything spectacular.
I know! It's on the edge of the Quarter and the CBD- Jimini. Best. Burger. Evah.
Oh! And it's not really near the convention center at all, but if you want to see a little more of the city, take the streetcar up St. Charles, get off at the stop right after it turns onto Carrollton, and go the Camellia Grill. Get either an omelette or a burger, and a slice of pecan pie for dessert.
There's a branch of the Cafe du Monde in the adjacent mall
The Riverwalk. Which has always been an odd mall.

But it's got a Foot Locker where I got my lucky Saints underwear.
Cafe du Monde is the only place that has ever gotten my iced coffee right on the first try.

Yes, but it's also an air conditioned way to walk a good chunk of the distance to the Quarter from the Convention Center.
Another alternative way to get to the Quarter from the Convention Center is the streetcar line that runs along the river. There's a stop right behind the CC.
I'll third Mulates. Terrific food and Abita on tap.
I'm just freaked out that their could be
bad
food in New Orleans. Isn't all the food wonderful?
I'm not sure I've had
bad
food. But I have had stuff that was no better than what you'd find at Chili's or whatever (I'm looking at you Bubba Gump).
Man, this is like finding out about Santa.
