URGENT: Best place to eat around Lafayette Cemetary #1?

We have last-minute plans to skip out of our conference at 4:30 today and take the streetcar out to Lafeyette Cemetary #1. I assume you can just walk in without being part of a tour?

What%26#39;s a great place for dinner, preferably serving something authentic? We%26#39;ve already had BBQ shrimp at Mr. B%26#39;s, which was amazing, so looking for another good place. I%26#39;d be up for trying a crawfish boil, but I know my boss won%26#39;t want that.

Anything casual or a step below business casual would be fine. Looking for prices around $30 or below, probably.

Thanks in advance.

I would say Commander%26#39;s Palace, which is right across the street from the cemetery, and also happens to be one of the best restaurants in the city, though it is a little pricey! commanderspalace.com/new_orleans/index.php

Otherwise, for someplace a little more casual, I%26#39;d recommend heading down to Magazine St and trying Casamento%26#39;s for oysters and seafood or Ignatius Eatery for New Orleans style cuisine! http://www.magazinestreet.com/

yeah, Commanders looks a little pricey for us (and we%26#39;re not going to be dressed that nice....conference all week and I%26#39;m now in sneakers due to sore feet).

Casamentos looks a little more up our alley. Thanks!

How is Copeland%26#39;s (along the rail line) and I also have a suggestion for Cooter Brown%26#39;s (all the way to the end I guess).

Thinking about Cooter Brown%26#39;s due to being able to see some Plantations along the way. Would that be a good idea to do that and eat there?

If that%26#39;s good, any specific menu suggestions for Cooter Brown%26#39;s?

The Copeland%26#39;s on St. Charles never re-opened after the storm. It%26#39;s now a big eye-sore, and I hope they do something with the space soon.

Thanks. We took the streetcar out to the cemetary I wish I would have known they lock the gates at the really early hour of 2:30 in the afternoon for some reason, but I did get some pictures through the bars.

We ate at Cooter Brown%26#39;s....had some great fresh raw oysters and a 1/2 Muffaleta sandwich, which was great.

If you want great food in a corner shack - try parasols. This is a run down irish bar, but are voted the best Po-boys in NOLA

We just got back on the 11th and it was our 2nd best meal.

Parisols would be your best bet but be prepared to wait if you go there during the crush.

Commanders cant be beat.
