Craig Green: Bayou Boogaloo is always a good time! Friends, food, family, & great music. :-) happy face
Casey Truxillo: Beautiful! Got me thinking about moving!
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: Bayou St. John features 1.7-mile path that traces the bayou’s eastern side, with handsome houses along the way. Need a diversion? footbridges lead away from the path into neighborhoods. -Travel Editor

901 Bourbon St (at Dumaine St.), New Orleans, LA
Gay Bar · French Quarter · 39 tips and reviews
Josh Rivero: They have some of the best bloody Mary's in the city and where I got my start as a bartender. Also the workplace of Aletha...the longest serving bartender on Bourbon St.
Amy L.: If you need to get away from the noise, try to get upstairs and out onto the patio deck. Unless it's Mardi Gras, almost no one is ever there.
elizabeth allums: Show up at 9pm for the "love is in the air" tradition- big fun.

1241 Decatur St (btw. Governor Nicholls St. and Barracks St.), New Orleans, LA
Coffee Shop · French Quarter · 102 tips and reviews
mark mayhew: If the chess club is there, they don't usually mind letting "outsiders" to play a game or two!
OffBeat Magazine: Always have an excellent rotating display of local artists' works on the wall. The current (12/18/10) showing is particularly good. And as Dani said, don't mind Bill in the corner ;)
Dens: Great escape from Bourbon Street if you're in town for a bachelor party, etc. Quick coffee, some art on the walls, and far enough from the stench of last night's Bourbon Street regrets.

Brittaney Wright: Hands down the most beautiful coffee shop in New Orleans! They also have delicious, strong coffee.
Aron Hegyi: A new (?) third-wave inspired (?) coffee place.

141 N Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA
Pizzeria · Mid-City · 20 tips and reviews
Christopher Lesley: Try the Muffuletta pizza...a true knockout although my personal fave is the Meat, Meat & More Meat with Extra Cheese
Geoffrey Gauchet: Internet jukebox that'll fade out the house music so you can play your stuff. usually no one has any songs picked, so your stuff plays right away.
Gambit New Orleans: Order a 10-inch one topping pizza for $5 on Thursdays
