Sure, you can Google "where to eat in new orleans" and you'll see all the regular suspects: Cafe Du Monde, Brennan's, Commander's Palace, and so on. I wanted to share a smaller list of places that might not show up on the search; some insider knowledge on fantastic spots.

Cafe du Monde (City Park): As mentioned above, he world famous coffee and beignet shop has another location in City Park that is always less crowded than the French Quarter location--and free parking!

The Davenport Lounge (Ritz-Carlton Hotel): The 3rd floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel features a walk-in jazz bar, with cocktails and shareable plates. If you're feeling fancy and jazzy, go here Friday or Saturday night--dressed at least business casual! (They also have high-tea on Saturdays, reservation only).

Li'l Dizzy's Cafe: So far, this is the place to get Gumbo. They are only open for lunch.

Parkway Bakery & Tavern: So far, this is the place to get a good Po-Boy. I'd recommend any that come with Roast Beef, and a half sandwich is enough for one person.

The Napoleon House: One of our favorite spots in NOLA; a fun location in the French Quarter but good prices. We recommend trying the Italian Creme sodas, which they all make in-house!

1000 Figs: A tiny Mediterranean spot that serves unlimited Foccaccia with every dish. It is unreasonably good food.

LUFU NOLA: The best Indian food I've ever had; the Tikka Masala will change your life.

La Boulangerie: A full-on French bakery and coffee shop. Too many pastries to count, and one of my favorite places to visit on any given morning.
