The New Orleans Tourism director Dirge, I am more than sure will
fill you in on all things that are N.O. :)
My personal favorite is the D-day museum, I could spenf 6 hrs in there and not get enough of it.
Aquarium and zoo are nice, but it is too hot for the z00 IMHO.
there is this street they call Burbon St that has some nice :naughty
things to do.
Dirge can give ya the skinny.

w00t Hey if you're boy is from Australia, there are a couple of cool bars in the warehouse district he might like. Lucy's Retired Surfer's bar and Vic's Kangaroo Lounge. As far things to do, catch some real jazz at the famous corner or the cozy corner or most of the hotels in the French Quarter. Drink a Hurricane or Mint Julep from Pat O'Brien's. Grab a bite to eat any one of the great resturaunts (my favs are Mike Anderson's, Bella Luna, Maspero's, House of Blues, Irene's Cuisine, Cafe Sbisa, er I guess that's a lot, well they're all good.) Be sure to walk down to the French Market and Flea Market during the day to check out the wares. Walk around the Jax brewery and stroll down the riverfront. River cruises are cool as well. The Haunted history walking tours are very enetertaining and rather spooky at night. If he wants to see more of the city, take a Grey Line city bus tour.

Some websites to check out:
www.nola.com
www.bestofneworleans.com

If he needs any particular details let me know. Oh and remember, you can walk down the street sipping on your drink. In fact, take advantage of the plastic go-cups by the doors of every bar so you don't have to kill your drink before you wander around outside.

Sorry Corp I forgot to mention that Dirge was with Andyconda
which means:

[Corp]

ahhhh well i understand then... dirge just needed a few days to get his brain cells back into gear.. can u see this when drunk dirge?? :P

What are you trying to say Mike. Dirge makes me do it. Damn his Irish blood. Corp, tell your buddy he has to visit Rick's Caberet, Pat O,briens for a Hurricane, and get a (spelling) bennets and cafe au lait at Cafe Du Mont. A very vital piece of information that Dirge, Diesel, and Spark left out in your tourist guiding is that for no reason at all should you go past St Ann when going down Burbon Street. Burbon Street is the coolest street in the world from Canal all the way to St Ann. After that you'll see things that are SCARY. P.S. I'm not Homophobic, I just prefer not to see a man perform Falacio (spelling) on another. Also Dirge and Yankee live right off os Caralton so if it gets to hectic give'em a call. They can bail you out. Can't count the times those boys saved me from the drunk tank, rape, robbery, murder, etc etc etc.
