HImom recommended a swamp tour and I’d second that as well.

NOLA’s is a good place to eat as well that’s more casual that Commanders : http://www.emerils.com/restaurant/2/NOLA-Restaurant/welcome

I always recommend at least a couple casual places since some aren’t used to walking around in the heat and want someplace that they can just walk in without needing to ‘dress up.’ Also, it’s in the Quarter and walkable to from Jackson Square, ect. within 5 minutes.

If you have time, Commanders really is one of the top restaurants in the US but it’s outside the Quarter. You could technically take the streetcar however. http://www.commanderspalace.com/ Jacket is required and obviously no shorts. So be aware of that before you trek all the way down there. It’s fantastic and worth sprucing up for.
