NNTP-Posting-Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2003 22:13:02 EDT Organization: Cox Communications Xref: usenet.INS.cwru.edu alt.travel.new-orleans:3599 My Monday night suggestion is to stay on Frenchman and catch Charmaine Neville's show at Snug Harbor. Most mondays, anyway. http://www.snugjazz.com/ I won't argue with the Jacques-Imos suggestion, but there are SO many great restaurants that tourists never get to. It's a bitch to try and recommend some alternates. And there's such a thing as too much information! LOL. But instead of the usual places that people will recommend, here are my picks: Instead of Mothers for breakfast, try Elisabeths in the Marigny. http://www.timeout.com/neworleans/rest.xml?ar=2&cg=1 Instead of any recommended seafood place, try GW Fins in the Quarter. Instead of Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, try Cosimo's on Burgundy Street Instead of "off beat" bars, hit the Saturn, or Snake and Jake's Christmas Club. Instead of the fancy steakhouses, hit the Crescent City Steakhouse on Broad. It's where Ruth first learned about "selling the sizzle." my picayune, er two cents for this evening.

Amy (and everyone else): Tom Fitzmorris is the local independent restaurant/food critic in New Orleans. He used to have his own website and downloadable restaurant guide but he has since moved over to NewOrleans.com. He also has a daily local radio show where restaurants and related matters are discussed and listeners can call in and give their own opinions (food is VERY important in New Orleans). He announced today that he has finished moving his restaurant reviews and other information to http://foodfest.neworleans.com/ . If you're coming to town, have a look and find some eats that you might like.
