Willie Mae's Scotch House Some of the best Fried chicken you will ever eat. Rated the best by lots of foodie people. I like the place across the street from the Acme for oysters.

Don't forget to stop by the MARGARITAVILLE restaurant (I know, I know!).
But they do have the best soft crab sandwich ...EVER!

Well, nothing ever goes the way you planned on vacation.

We hit Felix's instead of Acme for raw oysters. Right across the street. Came recommended by locals IF the line at Acme was long (and it always was).

Also ate at Irene's, Mr. B's Bistro, Desire (sounds like a strip club, but it's not), Camellia Grill, Coop's Place and the Redfish Grill. All of them were excellent, especially Irene's, Redfish and Mr.B's. Also did Cafe du Monde, of course, for beignets and latte's (twice!). I suspect it would be hard to find a bad meal in NOLA restaurants.

Best hurricane was definitely NOT at Pat Obrien's. It was in our hotel bar; the Hotel Provincial. Still made with all fruit juice. Obriens is using a mix now. It tasted like it.

Highlight of the NOLA trip was definitely the night we spent on Frenchman Street at the Spotted Cat and DBA. Spotted Cat is a GREAT, bare bones jazz club with the band sitting in the corner playing for tips only. No cover. We saw the Jumbo Shrimp Jazz band. Great stuff from the 20s, 30s and 40s. Trombone, trumpet, piano, drums, amplified nylon stringed guitar and singing. Place was hoppin' !!!!!!!!

Saw the first two Mardi Gras parades of the year along Canal St. Just wild!! The town was also impacted by the coming Super Bowl the following week. TV trucks EVERYWHERE!!! Jackson Square virtually closed off.

Thanks for all the recommendations, Nomads!!!
