    I was there last weekend, too. Breakfast at Brennan's: I really
    enjoyed the opportunity to pay $70 for breakfast. Oyster bisque,
    followed by poached eggs on a bed of sauteed spinach, topped with crab
    meat and hollandaise, complemented with a light chardonnay, followed by
    crepes wrapped around a cream-cheese filling topped with strawberry
    sauce. Waiter well informed but not terribly attentive; nonetheless,
    delightful dining atmosphere.

    Fine dinner, again, at Tortoricci's (on Royal): turtle soup, sauteed
    trout, and the last bottle they had of a very satisfactory
    medium-bodied red from somewhere in northern California. We wanted
    another, but settled on something unsatisfactory from New Zealand.
    Skipped dessert.

    I forget the third restaurant: fancy creole cuisine between Royal and
    Bourbon; the food wasn't all that great, but I loved the smell of
    bananas being fostered drifting up over the balcony to our second-floor
    spot.

    Another must "go to place". If I rember correctly, it is near or just
    around the block from Preservation Hall . Add it to the list. Great
    courtyard and ambience.Within a block or so on Bourbon St. there was a Deli
    (?) that sold a killer Muffillata. Damn, now I have to save up enough money
    to pay my driver to get me back there. Thanks! :-) The next thing will be
    going back to Brooklyn and environs for some real Italian food. You give me
    faith in yous guys. Capiche?

    I was hoping to go to Central Grocery for a muffaletta (I'd been there
    10 years earlier). One of the locals suggested a place called
    Napolean instead. Didn't get to either one.

    Speaking of Brooklyn, a couple of weeks ago we went to an Italian
    restaurant called "Aunt Suzie's." It was well worth the horrendous
    drive through Brooklyn from Queens.... Atlantic Avenue- a stoplight at
    every intersection for 10 miles....

    Well...just because I KNOW the place, doesn't mean I recommend it. It's very
    popular, but as Neil noted, the food isn't all that good. The absolute best
    meal I've had in New Orleans was at Emeril's Delmonico. (Yeah, yeah, I know.
    Emeril's a doofus on television, but his restaurants are top-notch.)

    I'm not a big fan of muffalettas, but those who *do* like them swear that
    the Central Market is the best place to get them. It's on Peters Street, I
    think, close to Jackson Square.

    Central Grocery is the place! Thank you. All the "Greenpernt" places have
    long since been gone,as well as my Grandfathers Grocery Store and
    neighborhood.

    Oh well(sigh)

    Oh yes, Napoleon House!!!!
    Even better than CG, imho, and they serve theirs warm.
    They have a wonderful (but small) courtyard as well...

    The best muffaletta's are at Central Grocery on Decatur Street. A
    muffaletta, a bag of Zapp's chips and a cold beverage. Walk to Jackson
    Square and eat lunch while you listen to the music and watch the people.
