bringing my son to see Tulane

[redsox02492]

I am bringing my high school junior on a college trip. His time in New Orleans and I havent been in years (shame on me). HE is a fairly conservative eater....meat and potatoes, caesar slaad. Where should we go on a Sat night with the feel of a New Orleans restaurants with some more simple things on the menu for him like steak or lamb?

where can i take him (he is 16) to hear some good New Orleans music? Is his age a factor in getting in to places with live music? Also. a good sports bar near the French quarter so he can watch some of the playoff games on Saturday afternoon?

Age is definitely a factor, both because of alcohol and video poker. Try Preservation Hall for music.

As long as you stay off bourbon st, out of Harrah's and act judiciously, age is usually not a prohibitive factor at new orleans bars and restaurants. Frenchman street would be a great place to see NO music with your son. Just walk the 6 or 7 blocks between Royal and Decatur and wander into wherever seems to suit you.

+1 on Delmonico's for a good steak or La Boca
+1 on Frenchmen for music or Mapleleaf if uptown

and ++++++++++++1 on Tulane. As a Tulane grad best move I ever made was spending 4 years in that city. Can't wait to see you all soon, as I'll be back in town for the the 1st jazzfest weekend!!!!
