First trip to New Orleans next week! Tips for the trip? Interesting airports or other aviation sights to see? Would be fun to see the area from the air, so I thought I'd check into any local flight schools for a plane rental. Appreciate any suggestions!

KNEW.. is the only real game in town. Take a taxi if you are going to the Quarter. Eat and Drink LOTS and have a blast!

Go to "Mothers" at the River on Poydras. Order the debri poboy. Get a Barqs in a bottle if they have it. It's worth the wait if there is a line and is not that expensive.

You can eat GREAT food there for $20 or $200. Plenty of hotel staff can make other suggestions.

I've lots of family there. Have a great time!

Very old famous New Orleans resturant. You have to have a dozen or two of the Charcoal Grilled Oysters on the half shell. If you don't do anything else in New Orleans...do this.

Check out the WWII museum. A great high end restaurant is August.

Thanks for all the great tips! Didn't get any flight time in, but the food, music and the WWII museum were amazing.
