Bourbon Street is great for a night. After that, definitely branch out a bit.
If they're in town, Rebirth Brass Band always plays at the Maple Leaf on Tuesday nights. Highly recommended.
See any show at Tipitina's.
Check out the WWII museum.
Try the Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues if a Sunday is in your plans.
I hadn't seen anyone mention touring the above ground cemeteries, that's always interesting.
MoneyGuy mentioned Oak Alley, I'd also recommend the Laura Plantation as a polar opposite.
Stay away from the Yellow King.
