I second the advice on boots.
While not strictly elegant in any sense, a pair of Doc Martens would be the perfect pair of shoes for the occasion. First, they're comfortable. Second, they have rubber soles with a great grip. And, lastly, they are made of thick leather, and can be had in steel toe versions, which will come in handy when your foot gets stomped on by a horse or tourist.
For dinner, I highly recommend Jacques Imo's on Oak Street or Kpaul's in the Quarter.
