domilese's in uptown for a good poboy.
Cochon is great, but there is one in Lafayette now, right?

Yes, there is a Cochon in Lafayette, but go to the one on Tchoupitoulas and hit their deli right around the corner called "Butcher". I once descibed it to a friend of mine as "a Cajun/Creole version of New York deli on steroids"!! They have all kinds of unique deli-style dishes and they also have an exclusive wine bar.

Dokey Chase

Make make sure to say hello to Mrs. Leah Chase. All of the past three US Presidents have eaten there and have their signed pictures on the wall.

Definitely go there, then go around the corner to Willie Mae's Scotch House for "America's BEST Fried Chicken"!!

My favorite hole in the wall is Hobnobber's for lunch. Some of the best gumbo I have ever had. On Carondolet right before Bourbon

[CajunSaint]

try the "star steak and lobster." a tiny, clean, and plain steak house just a couple of doors down decatur from the house of blues. best rib-eye steak in the city. good, simple seafood dishes, too. nothing but unpretentious, good food and service.

Mandinas and Ye Old College Inn....

IHOP...Canal...greatest restaurant ever.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Get cash, go early, Walkers Southern Style Bar B Q on the lake front New Orleans East. Forget it, game time is an hour after they open, but if you get there early Friday, I recommend highly.

The Gumbo Pot, some of the best breakfast I've ever had

Jacques-Imo's (http://www.jacques-imos.com/) Great food, great atmosphere. You walk through the kitchen to get to the dining room, just like at ya Momandems. My favorite is the panee'd rabbit.

Liuzza's (http://www.liuzzas.com/) A good, old-fashioned New Orleans neighborhood joint, right in the middle of Mid-City. Don't get it confused with Liuzza's by the track; this is the real deal. Get a frozen beer or Barq's, and a Frenchuletta. Best onion rings in town.

Angelo Brocatto's (http://www.angelobrocatoicecream.com/) Best place for dessert. Have an espresso and a cannoli.

The Columns Hotel (http://www.thecolumns.com/) No food here, just a great place for a cocktail. An old Victorian mansion on St. Charles, right on the street car line.

ABSOLUTELY. And for anyone who's a fan of Buffalo Wild Wings in Lafayette, they just opened one in Metairie on the corner of Venterans and Severn across from Whole Foods...

Crabby Jack's on Jefferson Highway. Same owner of Jacques-Imo's. You can make a second poboy with the amount of shrimp that will spill out of your poboy when you unwrap it. Not open on Sunday.
