I don't have anything that weekend yet. I am booked on the 8th of this month, but no calls yet for the following weekend. If something comes up, I will post and you can come by!
Lots of stuff to do here. If the little lady wants to see Trombone Shorty, then she really must be into the New Orleans music scene. There's Donna's on Rampart street that plays good music, and there are a bunch of venues on Frenchman street that I know she will like. Places like Snug Harbor often have great jazz acts. Of course there is decent stuff all around here. When you get here, pick up a Gambit or Off Beat magazine. They are everywhere and free. They list everything happening.
Tujaques (pronounced Two Jacks) is definately a good place to eat. It is right on Decatur Street across from Morning call. If you come here, you MUST go to Morning call. It is just coffee and beignets (sort of like a donut), but it helps soak up the alcohol. Flax recommends the mufalletta. I do too, but if you get one, make sure you get it from the Central or Progress grocery on Decatur street. And definately get it WITH the mortadella. There are soooo many restaurants here, you would have to live here to check them all out. I guess that's why I'm so fat!
You know if you wait a little while, you could come by during Jazzfest season. The city really wakes up for that festival. It is always the last weekend of April and the 1st weekend of May. Great music everywhere that whole week!
