    Don't get raped or shot. The 9th ward is a must.

    Look above the door before you walk in

    Cochon Butcher

    And go get a steak at Charlies.

    I love a trip to Nawlins. There is no way I could spend a week there, though.

    Make sure you know the answer to where you got your shoes.

    Of all places, New Orleans was your first pick?

    New Orleans is a spiritually dark place, you can practically feel it when down there.

    Been there a handful of times for football games and driven over on the odd night or so on hunting trips.

    It'll be an experience if you've never been, but every time I leave there, I say I'll never come back.

    Some really cool historical and beautiful places in and around (within a 100 miles) of the city. But anything between the causeways and the rivers is dark, dirty as hell and overall a complete cesspool. If you spend any time at all anywhere in the city, be prepared to be shocked in more ways than not! Like said earlier, it is a very dark place.

    I could be well fed and happy with that list. So many truly great places to eat and drink.

    I will add, Dooky Chase for a real shot at some old school Creole food.

    Willie Mae’s Scotch house is a close second for local culture. Awesome fried chicken.

    For BBQ shrimp, Pascal Manales is hard to top.

    If you want to go white table cloth, Antoine’s , Galatoire’s or Arnaud’s are always top notch.

    Our tradition has long been to stop at Central Grocery for a wrapped
    Muffaletta sandwich for the ride home.

    The smell of Bourbon Street is unforgettable.
