I've been to NOLA numerous times on business/work conferences. Neat city in parts with the Audubon Zoo and things like that. FQ is unique and the history is relatively long for a U.S. city, but always smelled like last nights beer mold... Late night action always was fun though
Eaten at loads of the high end type places including Commander's Palace, Bayona, NOLA, and then some of the smaller greasy spoon types. I'm not a connoisseur of Cajun or Creole offerings...it's just not what my palate perfers, but I still found many tasty offerings. It's a fine town in an awful location.
