While DW and I have been all around the world, we've never visited NOLA; we're planning a 3-4 day trip next month.
We're into food, drink and live music so I'm guessing that the French Quarter is where we want to spend most of our time. We plan on sampling some food, jazz and some nightlife. Yes, we know it'll be 'touristy' there.
Am I correct that the better hotels/places to stay are in the "Garden District"? Is that near the French Quarter? What else might be fun for a short stay?
We're not shy about hotel costs and not too interested in $100 a night places but would appreciate something other than the chain Marriott/Omni type; maybe something with some local character.
Any help from my friends here is much appreciated.
