Eat whatever. Go to Preservation Hall as often as you can.

Wish I had thought of that.

Slaton, Nola is a cocktail town. I really enjoyed Tonique, which had a Terroir-like vibe and extremely well executed cocktails. It's on the northern border of the Quarter.
If they're doing oysters from the Gulf again (not sure), try some barbequed.

I second the notion of Bayona - 'always enjoyed the room and the food.
And a wine list more than worth a look.

My two meals at Bayona were both underwhelming. For food, my experiences at Brigtsen's (pre-Katrina) were far better, though I can't recall in detail what the wine list was like. I hear that Uglesich's is back, so that might be worth a lunch visit, as that was a must stop for us in Nola, along with the Rock 'n' Bowl. Those latter two stops, though, have nothing to do with wine.

John Besh is one of the best chefs in NOLA. Restaurant August is excellent, rather high end. Corkage was free a few years ago. Restaurant Stella gets top marks though never been. Go to Mother's for a Ferdie Special with debris. Oysters at Casamento's on Magazine St (which is a cool street to walk). Perhaps one of our most enjoyable meals was at Eat (http://www.eatnola.com/). Loved this place and the staff was as fun and generous as any we've experienced. There's a wine shop next to K Paul's on Chartres St that has a decent selection if you need to buy.
It appears most restaurants are closed Sundays. Herbsaint, Boucherie, Delachaise, Eat, Bayona are all closed. So, thinking of checking out Coop's Place, which is supposed to be a classic creole locals kind of place. The key being that it's open Sundays.
I am staying in the warehouse district, and Mothers is just a block from the hotel so I'll definitely being stopping in for Breakfast or a po boy one of these days.
It looks like Uglesich's is done, alas.
thanks again
