A bunch of us from Chicago will be in New Orleans this weekend for a bachelor party. We are eating early at Cochon Thursday night and we need a good sports bar to watch the Bulls/Cavs game afterwards. Maybe somewhere close to Cochon?

Any suggestions? TIA.

I never miss Lollapalooza, Perrys Stage is always solid. Kaskade closing out Perrys on Sunday 2 years ago will always be one of my favorite shows.

The SHM Last Tour was solid as well.

The one event that sticks out to me more than any other show is Sensation White. Saw the first ever Sensation White in the U.S. a year ago at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Epic. Here is the trailer for the one I went to last year. LINK

I went to a New Orleans style bar in Chi town when I was there in July and thought it sucked. The Local Option. Terrible food, rude staff, weird atmosphere. Had a nice beer selection though, but that can be found many places up there. Walked down the street to a bar on the corner and had a much better time.

Know exactly where it is, near Depaul in Lincoln Park. Never been but probably driven past it 300 times.

My buddy in Chicago says the 2 best pizza joints are Piece (for thin crust) and My Pie (for deep dish). Does he know what he's talking about?

Piece is in my neighborhood- solid for thin crust. Cool place too. They brew their own beer also.

My Pie is ok. I order takeout sandwiches from there all the time, never get pizza though.

There was also a Mexican place near downtown that was really good and absolutely crawling with babes .. don't recall the name though. Almost like a club atmosphere in there, but not that douchey.

Mercadito? If so, Love that place.

Totally forgot about lunch on Friday. What should we do?

Saturday we were going to wake up, head to the Quarter, do Cafe Du Monde(i know they will think its cool) then day drink and figure out a plan for the game. Possibly Borgne.

I'm going to look into Atchafalay. Thanks for the heads up.

OB- Where you staying in Chicago. I got plenty of recommendations for you.

Long time listener, first time poster. Got a few questions for you all...

I am doing a trip down to New Orleans October 10-13th with the GF and 3 other couples. We're all coming from Chicago. I will be the only one that has New Orleans ties (born there, went to Tulane, most my family currently lives uptown/Metairie area)- but for the most part, I'm a Chicago guy. I'm planning all the entertainment and Restaurants but wanted to get everyone on this board’s approval and suggestions.


Thursday: Everyone gets in late, so me and the GF are going to Upperline. Its close to where we are staying and one of my go to spots.

Friday: Reservation at August. Is this going to be too fancy/too expensive? Do we need to dress up? Not sure about this one...

Need a suggestion for a good spot for food/drinks and the LSU/UF game on Saturday.

Saturday Night: Reservation at Cochon. One of my favorite spots.

Sunday: Jazz Brunch at Mr. B's.

What’s everyone’s thoughts/suggestions? Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance.

Nothing says "Wedding Anniversary" like Cooter Browns.

I will be down in New Orleans for the Florida weekend. I need a good spot in the French Quarter? Anything?

I'm leading towards Murray, but I've been ridding Gore since week 1. It scares me to go away from what has worked all year long, especially in the Championship game.
