Best advise for dining in French Quarter?
I am going to the French Quarter in October and want some advise on veggie eats. Food is not high on the priority list but eating would be nice : ) Fellow vegetarians that have been there with any advise would be great. Other useless stupid comments will once again be reported as usual <eg>
Thanks Frank! Great links : )
I’m so excited to go…it’s my first time. Amy ideas on hotels around $100 a night IN the French Quarter? From everything I am reading…it’s best to stay in the FQ and not venture out.
I have been wanting to go back for a while now…. I used to live there and haven’t been back in a few years. Although I wasn’t veggie at the time, let me see what I can find out…

Let me talk to my wife and see what she can think of, it may take me a day or two but I may be able to talk to a couple of people down there and see what they might know for you. This is a good question for me because I have been wanting to make the trip and I wouldn’t have even thought about it, thanks girl.
Edit:Yes it is best to stay in the quarter. Everything for visiting is right there, riverwalk, jackson square, bourbon st. cafe du’ monde, the market, the cathedral & the cabildo, streetcars down st. Charles street (if you like beautiful old houses), canal st., jax brewery, etc. (I’m missing being there) and unless your are going to be there for a while I wouldn’t be worried about venturing out… I always use hotels.com for things like that. When we went to Europe for a month early this summer that is what I used for the whole trip and it was great. The Quarter… The only time I stayed there when I lived there was one time when my wife and I went down into the quarter for the day, had too many hurricanes( pat o’brian’s is the best) and hand grenades (watch these if you drink, they are yummy but can fool you), and ended needing a place to stay to keep from driving. We stayed in a place that was mediocre and it cost about 175 best I can remember. If you walk up to a place or try to reserve it online… that is what you can probably expect to find. However, I looked on hotels.com and found several under 100 that were nice and right around that amount. good luck.

The quarter is the highest relative priced place to stay because it is the major tourist attraction of the the whole city…
Skully, just because people choose to find deals when they can doesn’t mean anything about them aside from that they are smart enough to look before they spend…. I use it all the time and I’m by no means hurting for money. What you are suggesting is…. being foolish. Besides… watching what I do with my money has allowed me to go to Mexico, Jamaica, France, England, Italy, and Spain as well as different destinations within the country on vacations in the last 12 months… I guess I could have spent more money to see the same places… but why?
I really have no idea.
In reply to your answer to my last question.
No, I was not cooking pork. I posted that as part of my research, which I am infact doing. This was probably not the best way to get information about different group’s reactions, but it was very helpful. I strongly object to being called a racist, I am firmly against racism.
P.S My spelling is not that bad compared to many adults. Or should I say AMY adults?
Have fun!

Well you might as well stay home since NOLA and especially the Quarter is a place of food, people, music, and involvement in life. However, you can find veggie stuff on any menu and there may be some that cater only to the average tourists like yourself.

Regarding your question about hotels, I can recommend this one: http://www.biscuitpalace.com/ It’s at the end of the bourbon street strip, near the gay clubs. The end of the strip is not as crazy crowded as other sections, but it’s still crowded enough to be safe. It’s a great starting and ending point for walking the nightlife. The hotel is not luxurious, but has great charm.

Some time before, I did need to buy a good house for my business but I didn’t have enough money and couldn’t order something. Thank God my father proposed to take the credit loans from reliable creditors. So, I acted that and used to be satisfied with my short term loan.
