Hold on. Don't rank those. You know what? Those are in no particular order. I couldn't tell you which is my favorite. Because some nights, I'm craving that calamari from Emeril's Delmonico; some nights, I'm craving that turtle soup from K-Paul's. Or maybe shrimp tasso from Commander's, or charbroiled oysters from Drago's. Maybe the redfish fillet from Clancy's or the crabmeat salad. You name it, man, they've got it. And you've got to go try these places. My wife and I have probably each gained 10 pounds since we've come here.

After you eat, you must rest. Brees has a couple of suggestions for where to do that in New Orleans. There are some really kind of unique and quaint hotels in the Quarter, but I have two favorites in the city. One is the Ritz-Carlton. It's awesome. I also love the Windsor Court. My wife and I stayed there for her 30th birthday last year.

We've mentioned that it gets hot, right? Luckily, you can cool off with some indoor activities. Man, you've got to go see the IMAX Theatre. It's down next to the Audubon Aquarium. Actually, the aquarium is great as well - I wouldn't miss that. But the IMAX is playing a movie called Hurricane on the Bayou. It's interesting because they started filming it six months before Hurricane Katrina. Halfway through the shooting, the hurricane came. So they have a lot of before-and-after footage of the devastation in the city. The premise is that we need to rebuild our wetlands so we're not as susceptible to a major hurricane. The film really gives you a lot of perspective as to what happened here and what we can do to fix things.
