Never been to New Orleans. Is this a good place to stay? What about some attractions?

New Orleans is really fun. Try going to the Audubon Zoo and Audubon Aquarium. It's really fun. Go to Poppy's Bar and Grill. New Orleans is a very interesting place. You will find something interesting by just walking down the street.

I have heard of that hotel but don't know anything about it. I have never been into the haunted tours and I have never done one. My best experiences with ghosts have been by myself minding my own business. But hear a lot about Haunted History tours. http://www.hauntedhistorytours.com/

My favs:

The best po boy sandwich is Domilise's a little family owned place outside of the quarter and is cash only.This is a best kept secret.

My favorite drinks is the Planters Punch at Pat O's, Pimms Cup at the Napolean House, and bloody mary at the avenue pub uptown.
