I'm going to N'aw'lins at the end of April for a long weekend. Anyone from or frequent who can recommend some cool things to do? Cheap, cool places to stay? art? culture?

Go to Preservation Hall see a show. The French Market is a good cheap place to get lunch.

Behind the 'House of the Rising Sun' you will find an old creol lady in a rocking chair, smoking a pipe.
Give her $5 in quarters then whisper these words into her left ear.. "Uma cura"
I would tell you what happens next but it is not wise for me to say it in written text.
oh just do it, you'll see. Just make sure you have friends with you.

lot's of good stuff going on there, i'm sure you already know the jazz fest will be around during that time. if it's to expensive for you, a lot of the local bars and venues have great music/shows that time at a cheaper price.
check out the st. louis cemetery #1 tour, it's where marie leaveaux was burried (voodoo queen) and the easy rider cemetery scene was shot. it's pretty creepy.
french market and french quarter are always a good time. go down to frenchman street for a less touristy scene.
take a street car down st. charles avenue, it's cheap and fun. eat good food.
that's it.

the dragons den is CHILL, good music and above a good thai food joint.
some of the best and most traditional sushi i ever had was at a place called horinoya
920 Poydras Streetmolly's (bar) on decatur is a good place to end up at 5am
R bar is hip, but not too much so
shim sham has great shows, and black and blues (pabst and guiness)
great little french pastry and coffee shop on a street running north south in the quarter. southeast of the blacksmiths shop on buorbon. but i forgot exactly where.
natural foods rest. in the marigny distric named somthing about a dog, great place, right beside the frenchmans cafe.
oh and i did the maps on the tables at the margarittaville.
