wandering in the French Quarter trying to find food with food everywhere

 After more sessions and a hard nap where Oscar was out like a light on his knees in the crib…we decide to head back into the French Quarter for dinner.  This is like every other night except for one difference, I want a burger and we look up yelp to find a good burger place.  I should never ever use Yelp.  It 
 has done nothing but disappoint the hell out of me, but John thought he could look up something and it would show us where it was.  Well, we picked a burger place and started out for it and stopped in a cigar shop where the man there told us that it was more known for its nachos than burgers, but he 
 knew another place that had good burgers and I remembered reading in the magazine about the place he mentioned.  We find the first place and the burgers don’t seem all that and there is no one there to help us sit or anything, so we head to the second place.  This place looks promising burger wise, but
it’s right off Bourbon street and they don’t allow anyone under 21 in because there is gaming in the back.  Really?!?!?! this was probably why no one tried to seat us at the last place either because we had a stroller with us and it was even closer to Bourbon Street. But this guy tells us that there is a place
  around the corner that has dining on the balcony that will allow us to bring the Bean, so we head there and find food that we can eat.  We eat overlooking Bourbon street, which does make for an interesting meal.  Oscar is starting to act up at the table for the first time and we figure that other people eating on Bourbon street don’t want to hear this, so we head off to find Sucre, which I read about before we ever got to New Orleans.  It’s a place run by a pastry chef and is renowned for desserts.  What’s not to like about that?  The prices mon ami.  My, my the prices.  I got John and I a macaroon each for almost $5.  They were good, but I could have made due with a double stuffed oreo….
