Transportation in Nola

[malyons]

Regarding restaurant recommendations: Lots of great local food in NOLA, definitely find somewhere to get some oysters

For the best cheeseburger you'll ever eat, go to Port of Call (make sure to get a baked potato to go with it)

Down on Frenchman Street, I really love Praline Connection. It's menu is all southern soul food. Think ribs, fried chicken, catfish, etc. Fantastic food and great service.

a $2 bus serving MSY & Central Business District

For the budget conscious: http://www.jeffersontransit.org/e2airport.php

On weekdays it picks up & drops off one block from Canal Street.

UPDATE: New Route: 202-Airport Express

This supplements the Jefferson Transit E-2 (a milk-run line that requires mid-city transfers on weekends). This new service is run by the RTA -- so you can transfer from/onto Canal or St Charles Ave streetcar -- and offers passengers a direct ride in comfortable reclining seats to/from MSY for the price of a streetcar fare:

It looks like maybe they were doing some site dns work or something during the time I happened to look:
