New Orleans hotel and attraction recommendations please.?

Q. We are planning our honeymoon in New Orleans the last week of March. We'd like a hotel that has rooms w/balconies, (must have smoking allowed room!!!) in or very close to the French Quarter. Also locals or past visitor recommendations on the best things to see & do there.

A. Most hotels in the Quarter are non smoking. But the best hotel for a balcony is Royal Sonesta and it has SOME smoking rooms. It is the best on bourbon. They have the best balconies on Bourbon st.

As a local the best place for boiled crawfish without boiling them myself is Yo mama's bar and grill they boil crawfish and it is so good. It is across the street and few businness down from pat o's!

IF you are there for st. pattys make sure you watch the Irish Channel Parade on Magazine st( during the weekend) and the Block party on st. pattys day!

also the French Quarter Wine Festival is during march
Musicfestival in the marigny http://foburgneworleans.com/
Soul Fest at the zoo.
New Orleans Spring Fiesta
and so much more!

My favs:
The best po boy sandwich is Domilise's a little family owned place outside of the quarter and is cash only.This is a best kept secret.
My favorite drinks is the Planters Punch at Pat O's, Pimms Cup at the Napolean House, and bloody mary at the avenue pub uptown.

How to travel to Paris for cheap?

Q. My boyfriend and I are thinking of taking a trip to Paris, France sometime soon, but we just don't even know where to begin on planning it. We were thinking about booking with AppleVacations, but it can get a little pricey at certain times of the year. Should we book with Apple, or should we just find a flight and hotel elsewhere? When would be the cheapest time to go? What are some must see places, other than the Eiffel Tower? I would really appreciate links. Thanks

A. I think it's better to come in September / October / March / April and to book hotels and flights on the web or by phone, not through a travel agent.

There's a hostel near Bastille http://www.aijparis.com/framef.htm
