I went on down to the Audabon Zoo and they all axed for you---The Meters. New Orleans is a wonderful city for food and music. It's unfortunate that some of the great creole places like Chez Helene are now gone. It's important to distinguish between creole and Cajun because the former is what New Orleans is really known best for. The traditional places like Commanders Palace and Arnaud's are still there. But contemporary chef's like John Besh are doing interesting things too. And the zoo really is cool.
For music keep an eye out for where some of the local legends might be performing: Doctor John, the Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, Beausoleil, Zachary Richard, Wynton or Ellis Marsalis and so on. Somebody is always in town at a club.
