I know New Orleans like the back of my hand. If you want to eat with the locals, go to Lil Dizzy's on Elysian Fields. Great creole family, the Baquets, own and run it. A lot of folks will recommend Mother's, but it highly overrated. Mandina's on Canal is a great seafood restaurant...on the trolley car line. If you want to eat at a bucket list attraction, take the St Charles trolley out to the end...at Carrollton and take the short walk to Camellia Grill...or walk a little farther and go to the Oak Street Café. If you want a great Poboy, to out to Parkway Bakery on Bayou St John or Mahoney's out Magazine. Another bucket list item is a muffaletta from Central Grocery, but if I wanted a Muff, I would go to Cochon Butcher.
Several good restaurants on Frenchman Street. My last recommendation is where I usually eat...any of the little restaurants in the French Market...my favorites are the World Famous N'Awlins Café and Spice Emporium and Meals From the Heart.
If you want a burger go to Port of Call on Esplanade, a pizza, Angeli on Decatur or Louisiana Pizza Kitchen by the French Market.
