You gotta make a reservation, of not you'll wait an hour @Chophouse New Orleans but the wait will be worth it for prime chops & family-style sides in a dimly lit upscale setting with live music & courtyard seats only!
@El Gato Negro It is a smaller place but able to handle groups. Authentic Mexican food as well as amazing margaritas!! There is also one down in the French Quarter. Try their Pineapple Cilantro Margarita!!
Best spot is @Clover Grill not only breakfast all the time but it's open 24/7. It's located on Bourbon St. so it's a great spot especially after you have had a few.
Bringing a pet can be a bit expensive at some hotels but @Hotel Indigo New Orleans Garden District welcomes two pets up to 80 lbs for an additional fee of $50 per pet, per stay. All rooms are pet friendly. Well-behaved pets can be left unattended in rooms.
@La Divina Cafe e Gelateria known for their incredible ice cream cookies and the affogato at Jazz Fest. Try the fiery Chocolate Azteca or boozy bourbon pecan while you walk around the French Quarter
