commander's palace is a little overkill IMO (jacket-required) - i like that you get to walk through the kitchen on the way to your table, but the truth is that it is damn near impossible to have a meal in new orleans that you don't just totally love.
try the Cochon Butcher (skip the restaurant, do the butcher next door), go to Drago's and get chargrilled oysters (single best bite of food in the city), have a jazz brunch at Arnaud's, definitely get beignets at Cafe du Monde, late night eats at Coop's place, lunch on fridays at Mr B's is amazing and martini's are only $1
I like to art walk around Jackson Square and Royal St., I like to people watch on Bourbon St (go to Club 635 and walk past the band up the stairs and you can get on balcony), I mostly spend my time around lower Decatur (Molly's at the Market), lower Esplanade, and Frenchman st.
also take a walk along the riverfront - great place to smoke a joint (marijuana is now decriminalized in nola)
stroll thru the french market
one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world, the Faubourg Marigny, has one of the best coffee shops in the world called Flora (at Royal & Franklin) - across the street is Mimi's a great neighborhood bar
Enjoy!
