You might get lucky down by the French Market and find something on the street but most of the lots on Decatur you can fit in. You will just have to walk. If we have been walking all day sometimes we will just get a cab even for a short distance. $5 is sometimes worth the expense when you are whooped.

That is a short wait for Coops.
Cafe Fleur-de-lis (307 Charters @ Bienville) is great for breakfast. Go in with an appetite. More locals than tourist.
Central Grocery @ 923 Decatur have some of the best muffuletta's. The ones at the little corner market on Ursuline @ Bourbon are pretty good to. Don't be a hero and try to eat a whole one by yourself in one sitting. Not worth it. If you take the ferry across the river to Algiers to go to Mardi Gras World the Dry Dock Cafe (to your right when you get off the boat) also has a good muffuletta.
Franky & Johnny's (Kinda in the Garden District) on Arabella @ Tchoupitoulas is another favorite for locals. Real dive but great food. When in season the crawfish are excellent!
Man, I am getting hungry just thinking of New Orleans.
ON EDIT: Good southern cooking you can try the Praline Connection 542 Frenchmen @ Charters. Stuff like Chicken Livers, Red Beans & Rice, Fried Pickles. Good southern Soul Food.
