Saints at home vs lambs...

SoCali, This past weekend my wife and I also made our first trip to New Orleans for the Jags game and are also from So Cal. First let me say your going to have a blast, Bourbon St is a must. We stood at the La Quinta on Camp St and Gravier St and if your hotel is in that area your walking distance from Bourbon St and the Dome. We didn't even need to rent a car or take a cab while we were out there, the shuttle from the airport was $13 per person both ways. We also really didn't know where to eat at, but we first went to Bubba Gump shrimp, even though there is one in So Cal it still is some good eats. We also tried this place called Mothers Restaurant/Mothers Next Door on Poydras just south of Magazine St that had some good jambalaya and Po boy's at a decent price. You also got to eat some french doughnuts from Cafe Du Monde on Decatur St just past St. Peters. I'm sure someone who's been there more than once can give you some better spots but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents in. Hope that helps.
