Antique shops on Royal Street. They are free museums. The best is MS Rau on Saint Peter St and Royal St. For more information, my book on New Orleans is "Free" for the next 48 hours (free is in quotes because Amazon won't allow my book to be priced 0 dollars so I priced it the minimum, 99 cents). https://www.amazon.com/Orleans-Antique-Shopping-Culinary-Extravaganza-ebook/dp/B07RBTKVTJ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=new+orleans+french+quarter+guide
New Orleans French Quarter is very small so there's no need for a bus. Just take a self-guided walking tour; 1. The Haunted Hotel: home of the Axe Man Serial Killer 623 Ursulines Ave, New Orleans, LA 70116 2. Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar; Haunted by Jean Lafitte the pirate. 941 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70116 3. Jean Lafitte's Absinthe House; haunted by President Andrew Jackson. 240 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70130 4. LaLaurie Mansion; Madame LaLaurie had a torture chamber where she subjected her slaves to the most horrific treatment. 1140 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70116 5. Hotel Monteleone; dozens of children who died of yellow fever in the hotel wander the halls of the 13th floor. 214 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70130 All of these places are on either Royal St or Bourbon St. The Haunted Hotel is on Ursulines Ave, which is a cross street of Royal St.

Depends, what are you guys into? I mean, your question is too broad. The only question that you have which is specific is "where do y'all suggest we stay?" If you stay in the French Quarter, all the places are very old so they lack modern amenities such as a gym with lots of equipment, an elevator, central air (they usually have hang on the window units). However, if you stay out of the French Quarter, then parking will be bad. You don't want to drive from your hotel to the French Quarter because parking is expensive and a pain in the butt. However, if you live on the edge of the French Quarter, you can live in a hotel with central air, a big gym, and plenty of elevators. Since it is on the edge, everything in the French Quarter is still walkable. My fave hotels on the edge of the French Quarter are the Ritz Carlton if you want to splurge and the Mariott next door if you are on a budget.

INDOOR jazz performances are banned but OUTDOORS is not. Check out DAT DOG's (Frenchman St) Facebook page for their weekend night live performances from their balcony: https://www.facebook.com/DatDogUS/
Also, Cafe Du Monde (800 Decatur St) always has an outdoor jazz band going on the weekends all day.
At night, the South end of Bourbon St usually has a live street performance going on.
There are many good Hotels in NOLA but my fave on a budget is Marriott Courtyard. If you are not on a budget, the Ritz.
For a list of all the best hotels in the French Quarter, the following NOLA guide book is a free download today only: https://www.amazon.com/Orleans-Antique-Shopping-Culinary-Extravaganza-ebook/dp/B07RBTKVTJ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=new+orleans+french+quarter+guide+2021&qid=1602425018&s=books&sr=1-1
Frommer's is more comprehensive as it covers all of NOLA, not just the French Quarter, but it is not free: https://www.amazon.com/Frommers-Easyguide-New-Orleans-2020/dp/1628874627
A lot of places are closed. Please call ahead to check before you go. Also, have a back up plan ready.
Here's a few of my favorite places to eat that are open;
Oceana Grill, Acme Oyster House, Mambo's, Coops Place, GW Fins, Dat Dog, Cafe Du Mode on Decatur St, Cafe Beignet on Royal St, Ritz-Carlton.

Teenage boy, eh? You may have to venture a bit outside of the French Quarter for him. Take him to the WWII museum: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/
Weapons, uniforms, movies, a bomber plane, a p51 mustang, etc. He'll have a blast!

Cafe Amelie in the French Quarter has good banana pudding. They are only open Fri, Sat & Sun, though.
It's no longer on the current menu, BUT I'll bet if you compliment the chef, he/she will cook it for you as an off-menu item.

- Erin Rose/Killer Poboys; best po boys in the French Quarter (FQ). Also, be sure to wash it down with a frozen coffee, perfect for hot Louisiana summer days. Bathrooms are to be avoided. 811 Conti St, New Orleans, LA 70112
- NOLA Poboys; 3rd best po boys in FQ. Gumbo's watery but the crawfish pie is good. 908 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70116
- Erin Rose/Killer Poboys; 2nd best po boys in FQ. Make sure you tell them to toast the bread. They sometimes skip this step if they think you're not going to eat it right away (to go). 811 Conti St, Erin Rose Bar, New Orleans, LA 70112

Maison de Chevaux 201 St Charles Ste 127 New Orleans, LA 70170
I don't know what race you are but these guys are very good. They've straightened African American hair, curled Asian hair to give it volume, and do great makeup for people of all races.
BTW, I would really appreciate it if you'd post my New Orleans guide book on your Facebook page. Thanks: https://www.amazon.com/Orleans-Antique-Shopping-Culinary-Extravaganza-ebook/dp/B07RBTKVTJ/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=new+orleans+french+quarter+guide
Ask yourself, "Why would they risk getting caught selling weed in the open like that?" They're not worried about getting caught because... they're COPS!
Stick with LEGAL medical marijuana. Yes, it IS legal in Louisiana, under specific legal conditions. 9 dispensary permits have been issued already. Depending on when you plan on visiting New Orleans, the dispensaries may be up and running by the time you arrive. Here's some more information: https://louisianamedicalmarijuana.org/
BTW, I wrote a guide book about New Orleans French Quarter: https://www.amazon.com/Orleans-Antique-Shopping-Culinary-Extravaganza-ebook/dp/B07RBTKVTJ/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=new+orleans+french+quarter+guide
Space is kinda tight for a wheelchair inside Cafe du Monde. If you don't feel like standing in line for Cafe du Monde and you want to go someplace with more wheelchair space, then I suggest the beignets and coffee at the Ritz. The Ritz-Carlton has beignets and coffee that is better than Cafe du Monde and without the lines. It will cost you a couple bucks more, though.
If you like art, then the antique art galleries on Royal Street are worth a gander. The pick of the litter is MS Rau. All these antique art galleries are basically free museums.
As for the fancy dinner, I suggest K-Pauls.

Go during the weekend to meet people your own age. If you go during the weekday, it will be all old people who are retired. Are you a guy or a girl? if you are a straight guy, it is best to meet girls in person rather than online unless you are an Adonis. If you meet them in person, you'll have a chance to charm them with your witty banter and compliments. If you are online as in Tinder, then the only thing the girl will see is your pic. Clubs are poor places to meet girls as they are noisy so you can't talk to them. Try French Truck Coffee instead. There are several locations around town. I've had great luck picking up girls at coffee places during the day. French Truck Coffee, 217 Chartres St New Orleans, LA 70130. If you're gay, try the 700 Club at night, 700 Burgundy St., New Orleans, LA 70116. If you're a hot girl, you'll meet guys anywhere. The only problem is the quality not the quantity. If something excites you, use meetup.com to meet others with the same interests in New Orleans. That should improve the quality.

If you want to get a BJ in the dark corner of a strip club, I can't help you. However, if you want to see a really talented Burlesque show where the strippers have real talent such as a contortionist stripper, a stripper that showcases amazing feats of strength, fancy dance moves, etc. Interested? The Dirty Dime Peepshow is where you want to be. You'll feel like you're in the movie "Moulin Rouge"! 2240 St Claude Ave New Orleans, LA 70117 Marigny For more hidden gems in NOLA, be sure to check out my NOLA guide book and give it a 5 star review! It will be discounted to 99 cents only until Sunday noon central time, after which, the price will go back up to $10. Thanks!
Yes. Be sure buy tickets in advance. Tickets are usually $15 to $25 per person. No children under 13 are allowed.

check out the antique art galleries for the artsy stuff, on royal street. The best of the litter is MS Rau. 630 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70130 . For further details, check out my NOLA guide book; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RBTKVTJ
I assume you're on a business expense account so you're not on a budget. In that case, I suggest you splurge and go out to K-Paul's for some upscale dining; soft shell crab, turtle soup, blackened ocean fresh fish, etc.

Oceana Grill is open for brunch. Check to see if the other recommendations are open for brunch. Others' recommendations may be good restaurants but they might not be open for brunch. Many restaurants are only open for lunch and dinner (open after 11am). Being open for brunch means that they're open before 11am.

Ritz Carlton has the best beignets. They have 3 dipping sauces (chocolate, vanilla, and raspberry), are crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. Their coffee is strong and rich. Absolutely delicious! Best of all, no lines like Cafe du Monde!

There's plenty of dive bars in NOLA, BUT there's only ONE HAUNTED DIVE BAR: Lafitte's. Lafitte's is the oldest bar in America (yes, I know that there's another bar that has been operating continuously longer, but Lafitte's is the oldest building that is a bar now). The bathroom is HAUNTED. It is very dark and someone/something is always trying to tug your lizard while you are trying to do your bidness!!! It is a fun piano bar and it's a real dive. Their "signature drink" is grape flavored kool aid with everclear in it.
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar 941 Bourbon St New Orleans, LA 70116

There are a lot of antique stores with significant historical items on Royal St. These are basically free museums. The best free museum is MS Rau on Royal and Saint Peter St. They have a secret gallery of million dollar art. They don't allow the riff raff in their secret gallery. You have to be invited. Have some friends pretend to be your bodyguards and servants. Dress in T-shirt and jeans but have your "servants" dress in suits & ties. Then, you will be invited in to view Monets, Manets, Norman Rockwells and the Pope's diamond cross with a $2 million price tag!
9th Ward... why?! If you do, bring your guns. Yes, I did say plural guns. I recommend against it: nothing to see.
Beignets at the Ritz Carlton is better than Cafe du Monde. No lines, either. A bit more expensive, though.
Food, if you like oysters, crawfish & gumbo; Acme, Mr. Ed's, and Oceana.
Tap water? Why?! Stick with alcohol. You're in New Orleans!
If you like Jazz, Zydeco, Blues, etc, go to Frenchman St.
For further details, I invite you to read my guide book on New Orleans, it is discounted to just 99 cents until 12 noon Sunday, central time. After that, it will go back up to $10. My personal email is inside the book if you have any questions. https://www.amazon.com/Orleans-Antique-Shopping-Culinary-Extravaganza-ebook/dp/B07RBTKVTJ/keywords=guide+book+to+french+quarter+new+orleans
