Some of the best Italian food in the city (which has lots of good Italian food). It is also a restaurant most tourists don't get to. Vincent's is small and very popular, so call ahead and make a reservation.

Shopping
Freret Street
Freret StreetGreat place to hang out. Lots of coffee shops and funky stores.
Magazine is about five miles long, and has many blocks full of interesting shops, from high end art and antiques stores, to budget friendly bookstores and hardware stores. These are almost all individually owned--very few chains or franchises--so you will see things you don't see in most malls or big box venues.

Drinks & Nightlife
It's touristy, but also quite famous, and it really is a lot of fun. You should go once. They are famous for their cocktails, especially their "Hurricane," but that packs a wallop, so only have one.

One of the best places for live music in the city, and it's on Frenchmen Street, which is not nearly as touristy (or as tawdry) as Bourbon Street.

Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro
626 Frenchmen StOne of the best places for live music in the city, and it's on Frenchmen Street, which is not nearly as touristy (or as tawdry) as Bourbon Street.
Like Snug Harbor, it is a good place for live music, and it avoids the tourist trap atmosphere of Bourbon Street. Tipitina's (often called Tip's) is also uptown, making it convenient for people who aren't staying in the Quarter.
