You gotta get off Bourbon Street

Dens: Last time I was here I drank 2 & 1/2 Kate's Koolers. Four hours later I was beating my buddy with a "Caution: Wet Floor" sign and throwing another buddy's luggage in a drunken rage. Beware.

Dens: Best brunch around. 100x classier than any other place you'll find on Bourbon Street. Try everything (literally), it'll take you 2-3 trips to the buffet.

Dens: If you're looking for a place to watch a soccer game or drink a Guinness this is your spot. (10 mins cab ride from Bourbon St)

Dens: Great escape from Bourbon Street if you're in town for a bachelor party, etc. Quick coffee, some art on the walls, and far enough from the stench of last night's Bourbon Street regrets.

Dens: Worth checking out if yer on Bourbon St. They say it's oldest bar in the US (1772, pre-independence!) tho I think there's 3-4 other bars claiming the same. Would be classier w/out the ATM & jukebox.

Dens: Great spot for a hungover Sunday brunch off Bourbon Street. Biscuits + gravy & poached eggs are the way to go. Super spicy bloody mary too (take one to go!). Oh, and a jazz band.

Dens: Another great example of "even one block off Bourbon St & everything is 1000x better". Steak sandwich was great. Pro tip: get the grilled cheese as an appetizer.

Dens: One block off Bourbon Street and filled with antique swords, guns, knives, etc... don't miss the old US dollars and the knife-gun-brass-knuckle combo weapon. Ka-pow!
