Not that you come to New Orleans for take out Chinese food, but if you have the hankering, Green Tea is inexpensive, good, and has fast delivery.

You have to try this place. It's small and unassuming but has food I'd put up against any restaurant in the city--and often at half the price!

Drinks & Nightlife

This is a hotel, but the bar is why you should go there. There's a huge front porch, or you can sit inside. It's been the site of several movies. Best of all, M-F 5-7 happy hour prices are great.

Personally, there are two locations I think you have to visit on Bourbon Street--Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and Pat O'Briens. Lafitte's is the longest continually running bar in the U.S. Very fun.

Essentials

Close, convenient, great wine selection, and stocks lots of New Orleans foods. For some reason, this is putting Breaux Mart out of the neighborhood. It's actually at Magazine and Pleasant--3 blocks.
