Not a strong item, more a consideration (I think I actually ate there once about 25 years ago....).

Is the on/off double decker trolley a good way to get around? My husband isn't up for a lot of constant walking.

Any other must see suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

There are so many good suggestions so far and it's hard to go too far wrong. We love many restaurants, but for lunch we just love Mr. B's on Royal near Iberville, although I also agree with Louisiana Pizza Kitchen by the French Market (I'm drooling for their smoked salmon and caviar pizza now) and Parkway Bakery (if you call first and talk to Jay Nix he will treat you right when you get there and might even give you a sample of several things before you order). If you are there for dinner we just love Louisiana Bistro and Chef Mars who has a fantastic Feed Me dinner where you can choose a 3,4 or 5 course option and he will customize dinner to your liking and food needs/allergies in my case and then after each course is brought to you he will come out and tell you how he concocted it and why he chose it. It's on Dauphine near Burgundy. Good luck and have fun. We have stayed in NOLA for a month at a time and not had time to eat at all the places we love! I hope you love it. Send me a PM when you get back and tell me all about it. I'm so excited for you.
