"One of the best sandwiches I've had, esp with the grilled pecorino on the grille. Recommend: prosciutto, funghi, pecorino, pomodoro fresco. Also: sausage with peppers, onions, zucchini, pecorino"

"Beautiful bed and breakfast with excellent accommodations in a prime location. Hard to find - right end of the piazza, up a flight of stairs. Look for the small tile sign by a gated staircase"

"Get the tagliatelle with escargot - in a delicious pesto-like chive sauce. Stop in during lunchtime for some great people watching + lunchtime specials (two courses for 15 euro)"

"Super clean, really nice and hip nail bar. On the pricier side, but $20 for a nail/toe polish change is ok"

"The best dish is eggplant beef for $5. Comes with a can of soda or water, just be sure to ask"

"Some of the best food in Nola. Get the bourdain recommendation: Shrimp po boy dressed with roast beef gravy on French bread. You will not be disappointed"
