I love Mother's, although I'm partial to the crawfish étouffée and grits. If you have a car and it's a nice day, go to Morning Call (in the City Park) for Beignets and coffee. Great people watching on the weekend. Just cruise the shops on Magazine. I think the best bread pudding is at the Bon Ton Cafe (unless you're willing to pay up for Commander's). Go to Galatoire's for lunch. Have drinks at the Columns. |

Sorry, I got carried away and forgot about the $10 limit. Galatoire's obviously doesn't fit. |

| Port of Call is amaaaazing. There is also this chicken place on Canal street a few shops down from McDonald’s that is really good. There is a pizza place on Bourbon street that is fairly cheap and really good also. |

If you like pierogis I have a magical place for you: Siberia on St. Claude Ave.
Also delicious are Cake Cafe (Spain & Chartres) and Satsuma (in the Bywater on Burgundy I think). Get a sno cone at Hansen’s on Tchoupitoulas uptown. |

| Used to live there. It was a tough place to live in (weather, crime, subpar medical system, etc.), but the culture was absolutely amazing. With so much of America looking and sounding the same, Nola truly had a distinctive regional spirit that was unparalleled...the food, the music, the festivities, the traditions, the accents. |
