New Orleans for our 20th Wedding Anniversary
Get your room soon. NOLA books up for festivals, conventions and sporting events. I would try to plan on a weekend the Saints are out of town unless you want to see a game. I would have the anniversary dinner at Commander's Palace in the GD. Ask for a table in the Garden Room overlooking the courtyard in the corner next to the big oak tree. I would include Muriel's and Galatoire's for dinner as well as Emeril's. Stella is outstanding also. Clancy's is one of the best places in town but it's a cab ride Uptown. Go to Acme, Felix's, Johnny's and Napoleon House for lunch. You won't need a car. Cabs are inexpensive and the street car will get you to most places.

Memphis BBQ is the best in the U. S. but there are very few joints close to I 40 that are convenient for long distance travelers that are usually in a big hurry and like to stop at places close to the IS. Cozy Corner is not too much trouble though.
If you want to stop in Memphis, TN for BBQ I suggest you go to Cozy Corner BBQ due to it's location close to I 40. Right before you cross the Mississippi River get off I 40 at Exit 1B and go N on N Danny Thomas Blvd. Go about 2 blocks and you will pass St. Jude Children's Hospital then take a right on N. Parkway. Go 2 blocks to Cozy Corner for outstanding BBQ.

In Mid City near City Park is Ralph's which has a fine SB and outdoor dining. If you go to the GD or Uptown go to Coquette or Patois for Sunday Brunch. Cafe Atchafalaya has a Sunday Jazz Brunch. I really like CA. It's a unique neighborhood restaurant near the Irish Channel W of the GD.
