Good morning from New Orleans. I am here for work, and will be for several days, so why don't you folks jump in the comments and help the ole Teej out with some unique, non-French Quarter-y suggestions in this town.

I disagree with the Dan-train. Go where the wind takes you and you may end up in some subpar hotel bar when you could be mere blocks from the best thing going. I like to heed the advice of locals and frequent visitors.
