I talked to a woman from New Orleans, and she said that Mother's at 401 Poydras St.(tel. 504/523-9656) is the place that has the best Po' Boys, and Central Grocery Store at 923 Decatur Street @ Dumaine Street is said to have the best place for Mufalettas.

Historic New Orleans Walking Tours has some interesting looking tours, at least, one of which includes Lafayette Cemetery:
