I think the food is better now than it was before Katrina...
Any of the John Besh Restaurants are amazing, Jager's in Metarie on Clearview, Rocky and Carlos in Chalmette(get the Mac and Cheese with red sauce on it you will thank me later), Angeli's on Decatur is open till 4 am and its really good italian food, Johnnys poboys,Stanley (on Jackson square),Meaux bar bistro,i could do this all day....As for partying if you like live music go to frenchman st in the Marigny (right across Esplanade) and Bourbon st is Bourbon st (just stay towards the canal st side and you will be fine)

when it comes to basic dishes, but there are a lot of good places to eat. Has been a while since I've been there, but if you like steak, the Rib Room in the Royal Orleans is a classy place with large portions of prime rib. The Grill Room is another fancy place in the Windsor Court Hotel on Gravier Street which is the only 5-star hotel in the city. Believe the hotel is partly owned by the Manning family. Mother's is a good po-boy and lunch place on Poydras. Have eaten at Masperos on Decatur for lunch and it was good. Will try Johnny's on St. Louis next week when I go. Don't have any info for Bourbon Street since I always stay away from there! Guess the Drago's restaurant previously mentioned is in the Hilton by the Riverwalk?

of the places I've eaten at in City the best are Redfish Grill, Alibi for a burger is much better than Port O Call, Grand Isle was okay, ****ie Brennans steak house was good but terribly over priced. If you looking for Value Johnies Po Boy. Nice quite and great food Broussards. The best guide to restaurants in Nola is at.. http://www.nomenu.com/joomla1/index....197&Itemid=204, this fella has a radio show every day for 3 hours and all he talks about is eating in New Orleans.

I've never eaten there but my Mother used to love mothers, and she says the same thing. She's in Downtown NOLA 3 to 4 times a month.

I forgot about Mothers. Great lunches and Po Boys.
I used to work a couple blocks from there.

Deany's in Bucktown was good too. Not sure if it is still there.
