Ride the streetcar Uptown along St. Charles. You'll pass by beautiful houses and mansions, Tulane and Loyola University and Audubon Park and end up in Carrollton.

Ride the bus Uptown along Magazine St. There are bars, shops and restaurants all along the route.

Streetcar line is great, whether you take the St. Charles line uptown or the Canal St. Line out to Lake Pontchartrain.
See city park. See uptown. See the River Road Plantations. Take a swamp tour. Visit Audubon Park. Charter a
fishing boat.

You can also visit the Marigny on the edge of the FQ which is a nice place to hear live music and walk around...There is the New Orleans Museum of Art in Mid-City at the end of the City Park Streetcar line. Also, the CBD has several museums (Ogden museum of southern art, the national WWII museum among them).

Some people will tell you New Orleans begins when you leave the French Quarter, if you have enough time seriously do everything above they suggested. It's all about getting off the tourist trail if you wanna get a good experience at a good price. This especially relates to where you eat, although the Quarter has some nice places many more are tourist traps or overpriced versions of what you can get in the residential neighborhoods. If you eat once outside of the Quarter, make it Jacques-Imo's! You'll thank me later! (Though there are plenty of other great places)
