That might clinch it for us then, since we are staying at Hotel Monteleone and I figured it might be nice to go to a restaurant nearby one night (my understanding is that Stella! is in the French Quarter.) Thanks to all who...

I would do Bacco or Mr. B’s, both have a loud, fun atmosphere. If you go to Mr. B’s you can hit the Carousel bar in the Hotel Monteleone, right across the street for fun drinks!

- if you have time and don’t mind a few drinks – try the Pimm’s Cup at the Carousel Bar in Hotel Monteleone, and a Sazerac at Napoleon House.

I second the French 75 bar, which is a really nice place anyhow. Herbsaint makes a great one and you should eat there too. Galatoire’s bar (upstairs) is quite good for a Sazerac. Also try the Swizzle Stick Bar at the Loews...

'm a traditionalist. I like sweet potato pie and pecan pie. I do not like them hybridized. Afterwards, we retired to the Hotel Monteleon, where we had Vieux Carres. Day 5 was breakfast at Cafe DuMonde. I had forgotten how...

You must have a drink at the Carousel Bar in the Monteleone. Also on the must do list is a drink at the Napoleon House, St Louis and Chartres. You have an embarassment of options from there: Seafood @GW Fins, Oysters @Acme, Fine...

signature local drink, but a bit more labor-intensive for the bartender). Another great local concoction is the Vieux Carré tail, invented at the Monteleone Hotel in the 1930s and still served at the Carousel Bar there. —...

Have a night cap at the Hotel Monteleone carousel Bar 214 Royal Street in the FQ. Enjoy

I just spent 4 days in New Orleans with my fiance. First I have to say Hotel Monteleone is a great place to stay. I could be a tough critic but I was impressed. Here is where we dined: COMMANDER’S PALACE I have to say the...

10,000 ophthalmologists (and their staff) are converging on New Orleans... :) Thanks for the suggestions... I’m calling Brigstens tomorrow... Cafe Degas is closed but I am staying at the Hotel Monteleone so I am sure there...

Fodor’s guidebook suggests enjoying a drink on a shady porch, balcony or courtyard at 6pm. For alternatives to the hotel courtyard – where would you choose to enjoy that pre-dinner drink? Givens: no car; solo senior...

I stayed at the Monteleone the last time I was in New Orleans – very nice hotel. If you decide to try Brightsen’s or Jacque Imo’s (they don’t take reservations) I would suggest taking a cab...

do you know which hotel in NOLA? and what time of year? some restaurants have summer hours, and you want to be sure they will be open when they are here. also, depending on the hotel, some have very nice restaurants on site. for...

before as it has many sentimental memories for me of my childhood and times at Mardi Gras when it was a little more civilized and less of a brawl. Our group isstaying at the Monteleone hotel and have several privately catered...

quikbook.com is another way to find deals on the Monteleone and the Fairmont. Maybe even the Monaco. But the prices go up and down depending on whether the hotel has a convention, so watch and jump in when it’s low.
