Emeril’s is on Tchoupitoulas in the business district.
 
Sit at the Cook’s Station.

Pascal’s Manale is off of Canal.

 
Pascal’s Manale is on Napoleon St, we walked the 2 blocks from the St Charles street car stop. The street cars are great, many places within a short walk off St Charles.

Walking distance, folks.

Although, they have some great cabs in NOLA.

What defines “walking distance” for you?

 
To my car.
 
 

I forgot to add-
Nice pair of Breaux Bridge Benedict [:X]

There are a few places that you have to eat in before you die, and MOTHER’S is one of them.  If your colleagues don’t want to go, go yourself.  Also, you must try a Muffaletta Sandwich at the Central Grocery.  Check out reviews on the Roadfood site.
Enjoy!

Mothers is a must try tourists or not. I have been a plenty of times. Great pictures on the wall of famous tourists. I crave the Ferdi Po’Boy! I have had it for breakfast.
X1 is right on about the Charbroiled Oysters at Drago’s they are amazing! The Hilton location does not have the character of the Metarie original restaurant. The Charbroiled oysters are outstanding at both locations. Served with Leidenheimer’s bread for mopping up the juices.

BTW…an all-day pass for the streetcar is 5 dollars.
You can also buy a three day Visipass from your hotel (usually…if you can’t, they know where you can), that is good on all streetcars and busses.
 
Oh, and I’m seconding Johnny’s Po’Boys. And spring for the cab to Parkway Bakery & Tavern in Mid-City.
 

The Eggs Stanley looks great, but I would go with the Breaux Bridge Benedict.  That pair would beat a full house[8D]

My girlfriend actually told me not to post that picture for that reason.  I told her no one would notice.  Oops.
 
[:(!]

Littleman – Surrey’s is no longer at that locale. They’ve moved further up Magazine in the old Fuel Cafe location.

Perfect timing — I’ll be staying at the Hilton Riverside for three nights between Christmas and New Year’s …

I, and three other Roadfooders from The Contingent, will also be in New Orleans during that time.

If you’re on Canal, you can take the streetcar anywhere for a buck and a quarter, so walking’s not too big of an issue. 
Pascal’s Manale is off of Canal.
I second Cochon/Cochon’s The Butcher
Do not go to the Trolley Stop. Stop in at hole-in-the-wall Please-U, just down the street. But, if you’re going to be taking the St. Charles streetcar to Please-U, just keep going until you get to Camellia Grill. That’s a MUST-DO. 
Also on Canal is The Palace Cafe…classic and timeless. 
 
If you take the streetcar all the way down to the river (not that far to walk, but you can do the streetcar, too), go to #1 Poydras….Poppy’s Time Out Sports Bar and Grill serves up excellent hamburgers and one of the best hot (yes, hot!) Muffulettas I’ve ever had. They have Abita on tap. It’s for people that don’t want to be too adventurous, but there are great things on the menu, too, like the Muffuletta and also deep-fried Alligator Sausage (fabulous!). Also at #1 Poydras, in the hotel, is Drago’s, home of the famous Charbroiled Oysters. Worth a stop in. It’s not as cool as the original locale in Fat City, but it’s still good. 
 

Somehow, Joe, I knew you would choose breakfast #2…[:p]

Mr. B’s Bistro for Gumbo Ya Ya and BBQ’d Shrimp.
Johnny’s Poor Boy.  Roast Beef and Swiss.
Galatoire’s.  New Orleans classic.
Enjoyed NOLA.  Heard great things about Emeril’s.
