Help Me Plan My Last Minute Trip to New Orleans

I've been all around the world including Easter Island and Seychelles, but I've never been to New Orleans. However, this week a friend who is working there on a project got some time off and convinced me (with little actual convincing) to come down and spend a couple days. I know it is hot there right now, but weather doesn't bother me. I plan to hang out and eat some good food and I know there are so many options in New Orleans.

So please feel free to share your "must-do" New Orleans experiences and if you want to follow my travels as they happen, make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

In the meantime, I'll be re-reading our Destination of the Week: New Orleans guide as a primer for the city, but as always I really value reader recommendations!
