Taking a 1st Timer to NOLA! What to do? What to do?

I%26#39;m so so so very excited to take a good family friend to NOLA for the first time! I%26#39;m hoping you all can offer your input to help make this a fantastic trip!!!

deets:

I attended Undergrad in NOLA a few years back.

1st timer is only 19 (female).

Arriving first week in June for Wed, Thurs %26amp; Friday (I%26#39;m staying thru the weekend for a bach party).

So far this is what I have planned out:

Wedn:

We arrive in the early afternoon and have a room at the Royal Sonesta with a Bourbon Balacony (already reserved).

...Then off to the French Market, Moonwalk and touring the FQ by carriage.

Lunch at Port-of-Call (cause I heart it!).

... French Quarter night including Laftitte%26#39;s, Pat O%26#39;s...????

Dinner at ??? (nothing stuffy)

Late night Cafe Du Monte!

Thurs:

Breakfast- Brennan%26#39;s? Court of 2 Sisters? or Windsor Cort for Afternoon Tea?

Street Car up St. Charles to view houses.

Check in to The Columns ( or???? somewhere else on St Charles).

Head to see my old school, walk thru Audubon Park to the Levee (maybe grab a Daq for the walk (; )

Shop down Magazine Street (keepsake at Mignon/Peril)

Dinner at Jacquimo%26#39;s

Music at Maple Leaf.

Friday

Breakfast at Camellia Grill (Chocolate Ice Cream on a Pecan Waffle and a cherry chocolate freeze)

If you can, Preservation Hall for old time jazz. Everybody%26#39;s got to experience it at least once.

Agreed! Thanks Porelly.

What about a good walking tour? A 19 year old would enjoy the exciting history of New Orleans.

Any suggestions for a good walking tour???

Maybe a Cemetery or a Voodoo Tour....

Try Bloody Mary%26#39;s tours for an outstanding walking tour! She does a really good job! http://www.bloodymarystours.com/

The Voodoo %26amp; Cemetary tour is entertaining. They take you to an authentic voodoo temple which is a little laughable(no offense to anyone) but the entire tour was a lot of fun.

No offense to Priestess Miriam, but that%26#39;s why I prefer Bloody Mary%26#39;s tours. You actually get a better appreciation for voodoo and can take it more seriously than other cemetery/voodoo tours around town.

dinner at Coop%26#39;s...mmmm, my favourite!!! I don%26#39;t know if you have to be 21 to get in though, maybe some other posters can help me out on that one....but if she%26#39;s 19, maybe she won%26#39;t be carded. I%26#39;ve heard that some places don%26#39;t allow people under age into their restaurant because of slot machines, and this may be one of them.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I%26#39;m def going to add a walking tour into our itinerary for Wednesday. BM looks great but operates Thurs-Monday or by private tour... so we%26#39;re going to have to find an alternative. Hopefully I can find a good Wedn night one!
