I second the recommendation of Juan's Flying Burrito. I've been there every time I visit my brother. The "gutter punk" burrito is awesome... standard veg burrito, but with seasoned potatoes.

You obviously look for something "cool" about the Quarter, and yet, the history, cuisine, architecture, etc. found in the Quarter transcend passing fancies of coolness. If your trip in November permits, try doing something different in the Quarter for a change . . . perhaps visit the Historic New Orleans Collection, for example.

BTW - good suggestion on Snakes. There are also many other similarly "cool" places to try.

We have street cars here . . . not "trolley's"

You're right. I was tipsy last nite. I really just can't shake my hatred for the Quarter. The cool thing was a sidetrack, and you called me out on it rightfully so.

Chewy - No problem. I know several people who also hate the Quarter, presumably because of the scenes on Bourbon and lower Decatur. Also, I have been a grouch today for unrelated reasons and know better than take it out on the keyboard.

FYI - More good bets outside the Quarter (maybe you know about these):

Camilla Grill is open and in some ways better than every before
Audubon Park Golf Clubhouse - the Sunday brunch is a really good deal although I think the price just went up.
Elizabeth's - in the Bywater, excellent place for breakfast and lunch

Dive's outside the Quarter:

Parasol's
Brothers Three
Le Bon Temps
Henry's on Magazine
Bulldog
Carrollton Station
Maple Leaf

Nice places:

Delachaise
Columns
Clancy's

Have a great visit in November.
