NOLA 1st timer - BudgetTips and Time savers

My long awaited trip to NOLA comes to fruition in Feb 2014 - after redeeming miles for airfare, and trying out Air Bnb for the first time as a traveler.
Will be there for the Krewe de Vieux and am asking for advice on experiencing the parade -navigating the crowds - best place on the route, etc.

Also interested in frugal ways to go about transportation for sight seeing and exploring.

PLanning to peruse the groupon type sites for NO as well as Yelp for low cost dining out --

I would like to splurge on a quality meal once or twice as well.

I am looking to explore on foot or bike a lot, and would not mind seeing some of the areas shown in the HBO series Treme.

My accommodations are in the Bywater.

Thank you in advance, I am doing a plethora of research , but respect this forum and the value the advice given.
