Driving to NOLA with wife, brother, and brother's GF from Wed, 9/1 thru Sun, 9/4. Wife is a picky eater (no seafood) and brother's GF is new to NOLA, so including some toury stuff:
WED

Staying at Harrah's, two nights free, no resort fees, yay
Dinner at Butcher, Felix, or Acme
Booze
THU
Breakfast at Ruby Slipper
9a sightseeing bus tour - tours all of the neighborhoods, which I've never done
Lunch either Johnny's PoBoys or chargrilled at Drago's, maybe some iced Irish coffee and poboys at Erin Rose
Museum of Death (we all love the morbid and macabre)

Killers and Thrillers tour
Booze FRI
Breakfast at Stanley
11 am tour of Sazerac House - this is free and comes with booze samples
Saints and Sinners tour
Drunken History of NOLA tour
Dinner at Butcher, Acme, or Felix whichever we haven't hit yet
Booze SAT
Breakfast at Willa Jean
Head to Tulane and watch OU-Tulane
Sat afternoon/evening open plans that will be involving lots of food, booze, and watching more college football, open to recommendations on great places to do that. Full plans depend on if we hang on the Tulane side of town or head right back to hotel and how much energy we have after 4 hours of football in 277% humidity with a mask on. Considering Bulldog, also considering grabbing Camellia Grill right after the game. Considering Frenchmen this night (or possibly Friday) and Bamboula's or Dat Dog. If we do that Friday, would need to hit Butcher, Acme, or Felix likely this night.
SUN
Cafe du Monde in the morning - I know it's touristy but wife and I always sit out and soak in a bit more of NOLA on our last day there
Hitting Billy's and/or Best Stop on the drive home
