Hi Lang,

I booked through Hotels.com. It was $100 per night for two double beds (plus taxes which brought it to $119.50 per nite). There is a $25 cancellation fee. I'm not sure if that's per nite or for the whole reservation...

Edit: I just booked Friday night as well. The $25 cancellation fee is for the whole booking.

Hope that helps!

Kathy Q

It's an understatement to simply say we *LOVED* New Orleans. Now I understand everyone's lists! To my wife, dining is an interruption in her day. From the first NO meal she couldn't stop raving about the food.

First a couple of updates...

Mother's for Red Beans & Rice, Ferdi's Special Po' Boy
got a Ferdi's to take on the plane with us, still gone way too soon, but the flight was more enjoyable
Progress Grocery is now closed, but whoever is in their place (Is it Julia's?) still makes a great Muffaletta. 915 Decatur St. this address is now a non-food store


Did this info ever get saved onto a FAQ or archive? I cannot find it.

I like to add to that list a place called Adolfo's. It's on Frenchmen St above the Apple Bar which is on the same side of the street (and same block) as the Spotted Cat. (Sorry, I don't have the card with the address with me right now.)

Bigfrank, at a table near us sat 8 locals. Several of them had steaks so this place might work for you too, although the atmosphere is more casual thank k-pauls and the room is more intimate.

Thanks for this thread for making our meals there exceptional.

While there, we plotted where our next meal would be. Now that we're back we're plotting our next trip there.

Hoc, would you email me at rbtug@hotmail.com ?

Yes, I'm saving the information, just haven't found the time to get it into Dining Guides.

They will all (Central ones) get updated soon.

We 'll be visitng New Orleans at the end of May. We will definitely go on swamp and plantaiton tours, and possibly ghost and cemetory tours as well. Could you please recommend specific tour companies for them? Will the French Quarter be any different during the Memorial Holiday? Any comments/suggestion are very much appreciaged.

Just got back from Nawlins and had a great time with awesome food. We bid on the rooms thru Priceline and got the Marriott for 80 =10 bonus from Priceline. Here is report which I also posted on Chowhound.com
My husband and I got there in time for lunch so we headed to Coop's Place. I got the gumbo which I thought was a little watery (thin) and the duck quesadilla which was delicious. Monday nite we went to Adolfo's and my mother pronounced the setting to be "unique" (especially the red laundry tub and the green toilet seat in the restroom!) Most of us got snapper with ocean sauce (buttery sauce with shrimp on one side and crawfish on the other side) Food and service were good. We were a little disappointed in Frenchmen St. We thought it would be longer and have more clubs, restaurants. It seemed like there were only a couple of blocks and the areas on either side were a little unsavory. There were good sounds coming from the Spotted Cat but it was full. Charmaine Neville was at Snug Harbor but the parents wanted to go to Preservation Jazz Hall. We enjoyed that, especially my parents.

Tuesday, we rode the streetcar to Uglesich's and were in line around 11. We did not have to wait very long. I got gumbo and the fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade. We also got bacon wrapped shrimp with sweet potato soufflé and shrimp uggie. The gumbo was thick and smoky and I loved the fried green tomatoes. The shrimp uggie was very tasty as well.

Tuesday nite went to Commander's Palace and ate in the garden room upstairs. Had the Las Vegas salad, seared gulf fish and bread pudding soufflé. The food was all great and the service was very attentive and professional except for a couple of minor glitches which were remedied immediately. We all enjoyed the experience very much and would go there again.

Weds we rode the Magazine street bus to Casamento's and thought it was charming. We had gumbo, fried crab claws, calamari, oysters on the half shell, fried shrimp and fried trout. It was yummy and totally grease free--amazing! Although we thought the gumbo at Uggies was a little better than Casmentos. Rode the bus to the zoo and caught the zoo cruise back to town. That nite, we went to Brigtsens and had a wonderful evening. We ordered shrimp remoulade, salads, sheepshead which is a fish, and seafood platter, chicken. For dessert, some got the pecan pie; I got vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce and choc chip with fudge sauce. Our primary server was named Pat and she explained that the wait staff works as a team so if we needed anything, we could ask any of the servers. She took very good care of us and she checked on us regularly to pour wine, ask if dinner was okay, etc. . Next morning we had to leave and no time to go to Cafe Du Monde but we did get some beignets in the airport and they were very tasty! The rest of the family went to the Palace Cafe for lunch and here is my sister's report: Everyone thought the Palace Café a very interesting place, bright and with beveled glass windows that looked into the kitchen. We did not sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen, but that might have been fun. The lunch specials were reasonable and good. Unfortunately we had to leave for the airport (or so we thought) and didn’t have time to order the desserts we had seen on the way in. I did get cheesecake to go (I think it had Grand Mariner in it) and ate it at the airport. We were quite pleased with the restaurant, though I’m sure we would also have liked Mr. B’s Bistro, which was the other place we were considering. The six of us had 4 different entrees and all liked what we got. The lunch salad was lovely, with fresh melon and blueberries. The turtle soup was good and thick. I had gulf fish lyonnaise (drum on that day I think), which was delicious. There were a good many lunch selections - two pork dishes, two fish dishes, a beef dish, soft shell crab, don’t remember if there was a chicken dish, but I assume so. The menu was posted outside and was also on their website.
Again, thank you all for your recommendations

Will any of you Tugers be there for the 2005 Mardi Gras?

Having read so much about New Orleans, I want to visit this awsome place next year, with my DH.

Is Mardi Gras week a good time for folks who are not big with drinking and partying to be there?

Is the Hilton New Orleans Riverside (at Poydras Street) a good location to stay for the week, without a car?

Thank you in advance to all who reply.

Anyone know about internet charges at the Quarterhouse. I want to bring my laptop. I am not sure about the phone charges.

2 weeks to go

It depends on your particular sensitivities. A lot of people who are there during Mardi Gras are going to be over-indulging in liquor, and will be partying. I'm not a big drinker, but I do love Mardi Gras. That is because I love the people watching and the excitement in the air.

NOLA gets quite a bit more crowded during Mardi Gras than during other times, so if you have problems with crowds, you will not enjoy it. There are 5-6 parades every day, with all kinds of goodies being tossed from the floats to the onlookers. I find the parades to be a blast. The streets of the French Quarter are shut down to automotive traffic, and there are bands set up on quite a few street corners. There are also people in costume roaming the quarter all day, and costume contests and open air stages all over.

There is an open air mask market on the weekend before Mardi Gras, where you see some amazing, creative and expensive masks, made out of leather, brass, bird feathers, and other things.

So, there is more in the way of activities, music, people watching and partying during Mardi Gras than at other times of the year, but the trade-off are the crowds. Whether you will like it depends on how much you like those things, and how much you hate crowds.

I am currently at the Quarter house. I know Hoc you love mothers and Comandos Palace. But we walked out of Mothers because the place was way too filthy, The kicthen ws dirty with food all over the floor. We were also told that the original owner is no longer there, that may have something to do with it.
We were not impressed with Comando's Palace. The food portions were small and the menu was limited to weird differant food and allso it was mostly sea food whick I do not eat. For appatizers My wife had the las vegas salad and I had the watermelon salad.

We have eatened in kpauls 3 times. It seems that they realy take care of there returning custemer's. We were given a free appatizer that consisted of a mashed crawfish in a rolled tortia. It is not on the menu and I would assume it is given to there return custumers. Unfortunatly I did not eat it since I do not eat fish but my family enjoyed it. What I realy enjoyed is the dessert menu. We were also given at no charge a $30 dessert sampling which consisted of Pecan sweet pottao pie,chocholate bundt bomb with the chocholate Ganash, Creme Brulee which was the best I ever had not eggy and tasted great. And my Favorite was the fried Bread pudding with chocholte AHHHHHHHhhhh to die for.

We ate at a Cafe Maspachin I know I spelt it wrong but it is located on the coner of Decater. The red beans and rice was great and the Muffalta was tasty. The large strawberry Daq are only $3 and are close to being almot 32oz.

Edited to add: that we also had Cafe du Monde. The iced coffee was very good. The beignet was also very tasty, the place is coverd in powderd sugar so it is dirty. If you want to see them being made I recomend you do this after you eat because you may not try it after seeing this. Go around the back of the building you will see all the sugar coming out from the floor and the way they are handled with out gloves with sugars and powder that is above the cooks elbows and see as his pesperation goes into the mix. I guess it adds flavor.

LOL Frank, everytime we eat at Cafe DuMonde the powdered sugar blows everywhere and I commence to having a sneezing fit. I didn't find Cafe DuMonde dirty, though, except for all the sugar that blows to the floor.

As far as Mothers goes, I was under the impression it had been in the same family for generations and still was, or it was when we were there last September anyway.

Mothers is probably different from any restaurant (cafe) you'd consider eating at in NYC. Mother's is a huge cafe and it is just that, a cafe. You have to wait in line to order your food and pick up your order yourself when it's ready. Most of the time during breakfast, lunch and dinner there's a long waiting line that snakes along the sidewalk to even get in the front door. If one doesn't like waiting in lines, crowds and a noisy eatery then Mothers is not for you.

It's a favorite with the downtown crowd and locals and has been for many years. I guess you'd have to be a Louisianian, southerner or a cajun to really appreciate Mothers.

Their oyster poboys are to die for.

WE got to Cafe Du Monde late and there was Powder every where. WE were also At Mothers just about an hour before closing so that maybe why it was so dirty. We were told that the owner passed on and that the son has become alittle skimpy on the sandwichs or at least they are not as big. We were told by the Quarterhouse staff that he is not running the place like his dad did. Tonight we ate at KPauls again and they are treating me like gold there. The waiter said that Paul Perdume takes his guests when they visit NOLA to Mothers for Breakfast. So now I am going to try it without my wife since I have friends coming here for the rest of the week. I will let you know how it turns out.

If you like roast beef they make a fantastic roast beef poboy with debris (gravy) at Mothers. Those were huge as were our oyster poboys (couldn't eat all of mine, but they have doggie bags). Never have tried a shrimp poboy there though. Maybe next trip.

P.S. Forgot, we're on Southbeach so no bread. Oh well, maybe in my next life .

Go to Camilla grill, where the St Charles trolley makes the right turn on I think Carollton Ave. There will probably be a line. It is not more than a greasy spoon, but the omelets, burgers and pecan pie are great, but the pie is heated on the same grill where they make the omelets and burgers!!!.

Frank, you would appreciate this, when you go to the rest rooms, you walk right through the kitchen, quite a sight!

I ate there in January, and the food was just as good. But I don't care one whit about the quantity of food I am eating. I care only about the quality. I would rather have a thimbleful of great Lobster Bisque than a pot full of the mediocre stuff. So, if the new owner has cut back a bit on quantity, I would not notice. As long as the red beans and rice are still the best in the city, and the Ferdi's Special Po'Boy or the Debris are still wonderful, I will continue to go there.

The dining area can get a bit messy toward the end of the day, because thousands of people go through there each day. One of my favorite restaurants is Arthur Bryant's in Kansas City. They have sauce-stained linoleum tables and crumpled up napkins on the tables and floors. But the BBQ there (the burnt ends) is still about the best in the country, and that is why New Yorker Magazine ranked it one of the best restaurants in the country, and every President who has gone to Kansas City has eaten there.

Restaurant kitchens as a whole are pretty dirty, considering. Health laws exist to try to minimize the problems, but even with the health laws, I probably would never eat in any restaurant if I spent any time in its kitchen. So, I don't think about that, and instead focus on whether the food is good.

You can't go wrong with K-Paul's. NOLA is also very good, though K-Paul's is one of my favorites. Just don't look too long into the kitchen.

Realistically, looking into the kitchen of almost any restaurant will disgust you. No matter how clean they try to be, the cardboard boxes that hold the food attract roaches and mice, and most restaurant kitchens are disgusting if you really examine them. And NOLA, with its tropical climate, will have more than its share of disgusting critters. At least, with Cafe du Monde, you can think of it this way. The very hot oil into which the beignets are placed will kill anything that would otherwise worry you.

What a differance a day makes. I brought my friends to Mothers today for lunch. It was much cleaner than 5pm in the afternoon on a weekend. I ate the Ralphs which is a Ferdi with cheese. I have to say it was great. We all enjoyed the sandwich's. I honestly feel that the Red beens and rice tasted better in cafe Maspero. We had to cancel our lunch at Commandos palce today because my friend got beer all over his pants last night and it was his only pair, good thing since we traded that for Mothers. We are off to Kpaul again this eveing, I can not tell you how well they treat there returning guests. They have given us free appatizers and free desserts.

bigfrank,
Its just as well your friend soiled his pants Lunch portions are really tiny at Commander's Palace. I'm not a hearty eater, and I noticed. Of course, the prices are lower at lunch, but you get what you pay for. Go at dinner, or order from the dinner menu at lunch, not the "special lunch" one.

Fern I ate dinner there with my wife and was dissapointed. the portions were small and imo not nearly as good as KPauls.
BTW I was given a VIP card for KPauls. I no longer need to make reservations there. I can go as I please without reservations or having to wait. I also received an autographed menu from Paul Prodome.

Thanks to this group and one trip there my wife and I keep finding more valid reasons to return such as here to help Frank, et al, find this spot. Ha ha.

We found a great and classy piano bar owned by Jennifer Flowers. We sat next to her by the piano as she played and were invited backstage after her performance, What a lovly lady she is. I highly recomend seeing her show.
