Attending first time - ubering from hotel - my normal plan each day is leave, fine a restaurant/pub/brewery in walking distance and hunker down till the rush is done. Any suggestions?

Here's the deal.  If you are staying downtown, you won't need Uber. You can streetcar it there for like $1.25. They also have shuttle service from a couple of spots downtown. I'm not sure if it's free or $5.00 each way or whatever. If you're staying in Metairie or elsewhere, you'll need Uber or Taxi service. 

I'm assuming you're talking about "after" the festival is over, correct?  There are only a couple of options, because we're sort of in a residential corridor, many of the earlier evening restaurant options in that neighborhood will be closed.  Wisner Blvd. (the main street that fronts City Park and is between City Park and Bayou St. John) turns into North Carrollton Avenue at City Park Avenue.  You can walk up North Carrollton and come to a bar called Parkview Tavern.  It's a casual sports bar that goes late night but is liable to be packed since it's the first stop on the way out.  They go until 3:00am on Friday and Saturdays.  You could walk up a little farther closer to our house, and you'll come to Wit's Inn.  Wit's stays open until 3 also (sometimes later) and is okay for bar food.  It's on the corner of North Carrolton and Iberville Street.  They are known for 32 oz drafts and certain mixed drinks.  I don't think anything else will be open late except Red Door across the street.  That's kind of a dive bar that I think might be open 24 hours. 

Edit - can't embed the URL address for the map, but if you type "Wit's Inn" you'll see it's a few blocks down N. Carrollton from City Park.

The other option is to continue down Moss Street (that's the street that runs along Bayou St. John).  See map above.  Instead of going down Esplanade, just walk down Moss until it becomes Jefferson Davis.  It's about a 1/2 mile walk.  Bayou Beer Garden & Bayou Wine Garden are there.  They are both highly cool and hopping places on the weekend and stay open until 2 though the very good kitchen closes at 12.

There are a thousand other options that I would happily recommend, but again since Voodoo goes to 11:00, they will be closed.  Let me know if you have any specific questions as far as around where you're staying.
