Mike, if nicebush25 is a no-show you can bet I'll be decked out. Heading to the store after work to get ready for the weekend. It's hard to make a Honda Accord intimidating though.

I know. I've been ran over by one. (mad girlfriend) Went thru the windshield and walked away.

Re: 1st time in new orleans
 

All those places listed above, I have enjoyed at some time or other. We were in New Orleans for the (ugh) Dallas game, and I really enjoyed Acme Oyster Bar again. They seem to be pretty consistent! Once I saw Marshall Faulk in there just before we beat the Rams in the playoff game. We went to K-Paul's the night before the Dallas game, and they seated Wade Phillips and his family right next to us for dinner. You just nevah know who you'll run into!

In order of importance:

Cafe du Monde
Mothers
Pralines

those are the "don't miss no matter what when you're in NOLA" for me.
