Keep them coming if you having any more tips!

Best wishes on your marriage. New Orleans can be a great place to honeymoon, but use caution. The French Quarter is a unique and wonderful place but can be very dangerous, particularly at night. Do not walk alone down a side street back to your hotel or to a parking garage. I have heard too many horror stories. Stay on well lit streets with crowds and watch your purse and wallets.

Definitely go to Cafe Du Monde for breakfast...there is nothing better than those powdered sugar covered hot beignets and cafe au lait in the morning. Try the muffalettas for lunch at Central Grocery on Decatur St., the home of the original muffaletta (half is enough for two people). You can get it to go and walk over to the Mississippi River and listen to live jazz while you eat. There are any number of wonderful restaurants in the Quarter. There are great museums and shopping is terrific. The Monteleone is lovely as is the Fairmont and both are close to attractions. The Garden District has gorgeous homes and is worth a trip.

Have a great and a safe trip.
