In my opinion, there is so much good food in NO that it's hard to go wrong no matter where you choose. Emiril has a couple of places like NOLAs and Delmonico's - I think there's a third, but I don't remember it's name.

I always enjoy Ralph and Cuckoo's - followed by pints of Guinness at O'Flaherty's right across the street.

The Crescent City brew house is an interesting place - they have great pub fare on their lunch menu, but the dinner menu is closer to fine-dining. I remember having an incredible dinner there, but truthfully I was kind of tanked at the time.

For a lighter lunch, get a bowl of Jambalaya at the Cafe Mediterranean while enjoying live music in their open-air seating. They also have a decent Sunday brunch.

If you want some greasy grub after hitting the bars, check out the pink diner towards the gay end of Bourbon street. Their menu is hilarious with little comments interspersed like 'we might not always be right, but we are always pretty.'

If you want to house a lot of food, then the buffet at Harrah's is an option - though it's not particularly remarkable. Get a member's card, gamble for a bit, then hit up a pit-boss for a comp.
