We have been to NO three times in the last year and a half for vacation and for a family reunion.

If they haven't booked a room yet, the Raddision near the French Quarter is very lovely. They also offer a lot of discounts like AAA, etc. We've been there twice in the last year--very nice, classy, and they really provide great service. PLUS, it's close to the French Quarter and will provide a shuttle down there.

There is a WONDERFUL restaurant called Copeland Cheesecake Bistro. This place is not like the Copeland's Restaurant chain. It is over in the Garden District. Good fun at reasonable prices, and the cheesecake is to die for! The gumbo is excellent there!

Brennan's is not what it used to be. Hubby and I went there one night and it is not what it used to be.
