restaurant: Oceana Grill on Conti. if you like crabcakes get them here.
walking tour: there are a lot of good walking tours in the Garden District, but last trip we did a great one that keeps you right in the French Quarter: Creole Mourning Tour

they also have a Scandalous Cocktail Hour Tour that sounds very fun.
Johnny’s Po-Boys has already been mentioned and it’s legendary. there was an article in the Wall Street Journal recently surveying the Po-Boy scene. i bookmarked it and here’s the link:

the WWII museum is great. we’ve spent a whole afternoon there and that almost isn’t enough to really see it. highly recommended.
even if you’re not a gambler, a walk thru the casino is worth the time.
a cruise on the Natchez is fun and you get to learn more about the river and the city.

as has been mentioned take it slow and wander. it is a visual feast and it has a wonderful vibe. gritty too, but we wouldn’t want it any other way. i think there are ghosts there, or something other-worldly. it’s not like anyplace else.
if you enjoy it you will have to go back again to complete your sightseeing! have a great time!
Hey, I like crabcakes!
