Timber, good to see you in Houston. I stayed at the provincial when I first visited the Quarter yrs ago. Very Nice old place. Be sure and try to visit Frenchmen Street while you are in the area. You asked about a good place to eat. Try http://www.mandinasrestaurant.com/ at 3800 Canal Street. Not far from the Quarter and great family owned restaurant. btw, CASH ONLY.
