Make reservations to dine at Emeril's one of the nights. Avoid ACME oyster house. You'll spend an hour standing in line to have raw oysters that taste just like any raw oyster. Go to Bourbon House which is next door instead. Rickey and Leo at the oyster bar can shuck them as well as anyone. Get Leo to shuck some behind his back for you. At night, start at Pat Obriens with a hurricane and then bar hop up the street toward Canal. On Bourbon Street, stay between Canal and St Ann. If you like sushi, hit Rock and Sake on Fulton, near the convention center. Make sure you have lunch somewhere on Bourbon Street on game day because that's where all the action will be.

The Bourbon House is great. I loved the oysters fonseca more than a man should love his food.

After I've had a dozen raw on the half shell, I like the trio which is two of each; Rockefeller, Bienville and Fonseca. I'm not sure I really know which are which though. They're all delicious! The bar there is a fun place to have lunch.

It looks like our travel agent/tour guide has you set up.

I like ACME (one in the quarter at least), it's the only place that doesn't drown Rockefeller in spinach and cheese....

each their own I suppose

The only problem I have with ACME is that there is always a line. All I eat there is raw oysters and they get them from the exact same seafood company as every place on Bourbon Street. Raw oysters are raw, served on a bed of crushed ice with a thing of horseradish and a thing of coctail sauce and some lemmons and saltine crackers. How can you mess that up?

There is a line but there is also a Hustler Club across the street!

Raw oysters dont all come from the same place and depending on where they are harvested there is a big difference. Acme has its own reefs if im not mistaken and there is a big difference between their oysters and a place like say Dragos who also has their own (another place you cant miss on a visit best char broiled oysters in town. They invented them).P&J is another one. You can tell because there is a difference in salinity, texture, and size. I am not 100% sure acme has its own but i know dragos does. Felixs does not use p&J.I know for sure.
