Planning a trip in March with kids, any recommendations for food, lodging and activities much appreciated

How old are the kids? The WWII museum is a can't-miss, IMO. But if your kids are young, they aren't going to enjoy it as much.

We spent a whole day there and didn't even make it to the Pacific Theater and D-Day exhibits.

The WWII Museum is my favorite spot in New Orleans. The kids might like an airboat ride thru the swamps and looking at gators. A cemetery tour is fun too.

I love staying at the Ritz but that isn't always in the budget. The Hyatt Regency by the Superdome was nice and wasn't on Bourbon (which can be a good thing if you're with the family).

Tons of great restaurants so throw a dart. I like Cochon Butcher for lunch. It's near the WWII museum. Cade du Monde of course. Jazz Brunch at Commander's Palace. Le Petit Grocery. Herbsaint. Revolution. The list goes on and on.

2nd Cochon Butcher for lunch. Best sandwiches I've ever had.

Mr. B's Bistro > authentic BBQ shrimp, shrimp n grits
Willie Mae's > fried chicken
Mr. Ed's Seafood & Oyster House > grilled oysters, better than anything in the French Quarter
Chophouse New Orleans > semi-upscale steak, seafood
Mother's > breakfast
Irene's > great Italian

Drago's for the char-grilled oysters. When we go to New Orleans, its our first stop and has been for over 20 years.

We stayed at the Ritz last trip and loved it. Saw several families there and it was nice and done up for Christmas. Great location.
