New Orleans is now tied with Miami for the most Super Bowls hosted and for good reason. The Big Easy is one of the best places to party, and eat. With that in mind we over here at Hip Hop Football Picks have listed some go to spots in the city to check out while your in New Orleans.

Food

DRAGO’S

Whenever I’m in town, I have to stop here.  They have plenty of good food on the menu but what I go here for is the Char-Grilled Oysters.  A little taste of heaven on a half-shell. Bring you wallets!

Char-grilled Oysters from Drago’s

There are two locations, one downtown and one in Metarie but expect  a wait at either location.

COOTER BROWN’S

Cooter Brown’s

Cooter Brown’s is one of my mid-late spots to eat. Good food and plenty of screens to watch sports. I’m partial to the Uptown Philly. Cooter Brown’s is located on 509 S. Carrollton Avenue

Cafe Du Monde

Cafe Du Monde is one of those places you should check out. Beignets with some Cafe Au Lait and you’re good. Its also near the night life spots listed in this post. Cafe Du Monde is located at 800 Decatur St.

Hank’s Super Market

Looking for authentic New Orleans Po Boys?  Well Hank’s is the spot! If you’re not sure what to get go with a Shrimp Po’Boy. They are open 24 hours so whenever you have that feeling get up and go! Hank’s is located at 2634 St. Claude Avenue

Cajun Seafood

If Hank’s is too far then check out Cajun Seafood. They close at 9pm but the boiled seafood and Po Boy’s will make sure you get there before closing.  Cajun Seafood is located at 1479 N. Claiborne Ave

Nightlife

The Hookah

The Hookah will be hosting parties all Super Bowl Weekend. Here are the events:

Friday- Super Bowl Edition. (18)

Sat- YMCMB SB Party (21)

Sun- Currensy & Rocsi (21)

For tickets to Saturday and Sundays events, click here

The Hookah is located at 309 Decatur St.

The Blue Nile

If the Hookah’s not your speed then check out the Blue Nile. Downstairs is live music so check the calendar for the show you want to see. For Hip Hop music go to the Balcony where DJ Real & Black Pearl will be spinning on Friday and Saturday.

The Blue Nile is located at 532 Frenchmen St.

Dee-1 is one of those brothers that can spit but has a hard time reaching the masses because of his message. Hopefully this one will sink in. If you’re from the N.O. you may also notice some guest appearances in the video.

Well the Superbowl may have a few more female attendees with the announcement of Beyonce performing.  This is a change from the Metamucil performers that have graced the stage in the past Superbowls.  At least there will be some good visuals besides the light show at this halftime show.

Curren$y continues with the smoke induced beats and rhymes on this new track.  Spitta brought out the old Miami Vice Ferarri for this one.
