Absolutely amazing Chinese food, specializing in bao and noodles, all home made but lots of specials. Doug is a genius cook. It looks like a hole in the wall but it is very good food.

Sightseeing
On St. Claude across from St. Roch Market. Well-- there's a voodoo shop run by our own voodoo priestess, and lots of amazing altars. There's the food coop where you can shop with the locals. There's a barber shop, yoga studio, healing massages, and the great Cafe Istanbul which has lots of local musical, theater and serious political discussions. Check it out.

Getting Around
Walking is great, easy to walk to the French Quarter, or up to Frenchmen or St. Claude or down into the Bywater. At Royal and St. Ferdinand you can catch the number 5 bus. Or you can rent a bike at Homer Plessy (aka Press Street) nearby. And take a look at the Plessy-Ferguson historical marker right there as well as the cool mural. Streetcar is on St. Claude terminating at St. Claude and Elysian Fields near the Walgreen's.
Costumbres y cultura
Be nice
People in New Orleans are friendly. It's okay to say hello to people on the street. It is helpful to be very courteous polite and nice but you'll pick up on that quickly.
