Rachael: Go in and grab a table! (You'll see tourists waiting in line to be seated, but it's seat yourself people!) Get an order of beignets and a café au lait. Grab plenty of napkins.
Rachael: For when you're not ready to admit that it's time to go home and you want to keep drinking/eat terrible-for-you fried food. Midnight crawfish boils sometimes too!
Rachael: The Southern Breakfast -- so good and filling. The rosemary cheese grits are comforting and tasty. Opp for the alligator sausage and biscuit. Oh, and double Bloody Mary--extra spicy!
Rachael: Amazing, eclectic collection of New Orleans artists. Huge building & courtyard. It's nice that the vendors are offsite, so you feel like you're in a thrift shop.
