You can't beat this city for great food.  Every meal, be it from little dives or elegant restaurants, is great.  We got another great deal through Hotels.com on our hotel. So, we are staying smack dab in the heart of the French Quarter on St. Louis  Chartres Streets in the Omni Royal Orleans.  Up here on the 6th floor we have a wonderful view of the French Quarter, the river and bridge, and the Supreme Court building and their lovely courtyard...there are even mardi gras bead hanging in those trees!  The service here is extraordinary and the rooms, bed and amenities are really nice too!
