The Bombay Club – Drinks/Piano Bar (French Quarter) sip from a selection of 100+ martinis or have your own creation stirred to-order in an old-school British Colonial-influenced environment. Dark, private gentleman's club ambience, with classic leather seats, cigars, whiskey, and an excellent Creole-influenced dinner menu. Request one of the elegant private draped “booths” (see note below). Live piano nightly and jazz on weekends. Upscale but not "formal", do dress smartly. Haunted The bar and booth #3 in particular are haunted by a woman claimed to be a madame; paranormal behavior also reported in the kitchen.

Brennan's – French/Creole Breakfast (French Quarter) "breakfast at Brennan's" is an institution at the 60-year old flagship restaurant of the famous Brennan family. Start your experience with a Red Rooster, Mr. Funk of New Orleans or traditional eye opener, followed by a cup of gumbo, Eggs Hussarde (Holland rusks topped with poached eggs, Canadian bacon, Hollandaise and Marchands de Vin sauce), and their signature and widely-imitated Bananas Foster – delightfully prepared tableside with tourists snapping photos of the dessert being flambéed. Servers are witty and attentive. Be sure to make reservations, as the place packs up very quickly, and ask for a courtyard-facing table if available. **Haunted** Several ghosts are on the property, including a chef and their fun-loving former winemaster Mr. Funk. Ghost-seeking guests request to be seated in the Red Room, where a murder-suicide took place during the Civil War – seems too "dark" for me; I personally won't go near it.

Brigtsen's – Creole (Riverbend) creative, dimly-lit, dinner-only little gem in an old cottage on a quiet residential street a couple of blocks from the streetcar line. James Beard Award-winning menu is homey and tasty, featuring comforting favorites with slightly unusual ingredients and innovative accompaniments, but nothing nouvelle or overly progressive in either preparation or presentation – no foams here. Seasonal menu changes regularly, but do try the shrimp rémoulade, saddle of rabbit, and anything duck if available. Renowned seafood platter regularly gets rave reviews and recommends. Relaxed and informal, but plan to dress smartly.

Café du Monde – Chicory Coffee and Beignets (French Quarter/French Market) throngs of tourists and locals alike flock to this 24-hour landmark for *the* quintessential New Orleans coffee experience. Established in 1864, the coffee stand has only recently (late '80s) expanded on its strictly coffee/beignets/milk-only menu, adding juice and iced coffee and sodas. Stick to tradition and indulge in the brain-shattering caffeine-rush-meets-sugar-high duo with chicory-infused café au lait and hot square beignets covered in an avalanche of powdered sugar. Be sure to lean forward before biting in, otherwise you'll end up with a chestful of the white stuff. Cash only. **Haunted** Numerous accounts of a "ghost waiter" who takes your order then disappears.
