    Things To Do In New Orleans

Things To Do In New Orleans

New Orleans is one of our favorite cities, due in part to just how much there is to see and do! Music, culture, food, and nightlife abound in the Big Easy!

New Orleans Museum of Art

1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans, LA 70124
, (504) 658-4100

After we realized we had no idea how to read a trolley map, we accidentally ended up at the NOMA. Despite it not being our original destination, we absolutely loved all it had to offer!

Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

1 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 565-3033

Adam loves aquariums, and this one is one of his favorite! Maddie enjoyed the Parakeet Room...somewhat less.

Museum of Death New Orleans

227 Dauphine Street, New Orleans, LA 70112
, (504) 593-3968

Enough of the macabre to make Maddie's creepy little goth heart happy

Harrah's Casino

New Orleans, LA 70130

24/7 casino means the shiny lights of the slot machines beckon to you even after a long night on Bourbon Street. Chances are, Maddie will be there playing a cat-themed slot machine at 4 am while Adam debates joining a table game.

Cafe Du Monde French Market

800 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
, (504) 525-4544

Whether it's for a morning breakfast or a late-night snack, if you don't try the famous beignets, did you even go to New Orleans?!

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1

425 Basin Street, New Orleans, LA 70112
, (504) 596-3050

Home of Nic Cage's white pyramid mausoleum and the resting place of Marie Laveau, this is the cemetery you'll want to tour (if you're as in to that kind of thing as we are). You'll need a guide to access the cemetery, and we highly recommend doing it as part of the mule tour, which you can find on Decatur near Cafe Du Monde.

The Dungeon

738 Toulouse Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

No phones. No bright lights. No real signage except a small wooden one outside a narrow alleyway that goes over a small bridge. Opening at 9 pm, The Dungeon is where the goth kids go.

Electric Ladyland Tattoo

610 Frenchmen Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
, (504) 947-8286

The "good" tattoo shop on Frenchman Street, not to be confused with the other one. This is where Adam got his NOLA travel tattoo, and Maddie got pierced.

The National WWII Museum

945 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 528-1944

If you'd prefer your trip to be a bit more on the educational side, the WWII museum can not be recommended enough.

Audubon Zoo

6500 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70118
, 5048612537

This is where Adam and Maddie ATTEMPTED to go when they ended up at the NOMA

Cajun Encounters Tours

941 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
, (504) 834-1770

Whilst technically outside New Orleans, Cajun Encounters offers a complimentary shuttle bus to the swamp for the tour, and is easily bookable either online, or via their stand on Decatur Street. Maddie has gone twice!

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar

941 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
, (504) 593-9761

One of the oldest operating bars in America, and a great spot for frozen drinks!

Coop's Place

1109 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
, (504) 525-9053

Literally the best redfish. Period.

Brigtsen's Restaurant

723 Dante Street, New Orleans, LA 70118
, (504) 861-7610

You want to eat here. Adam wants to eat here. Adam may actually still have dreams about the pork chops here.

Bayona

430 Dauphine Street, New Orleans, LA 70112
, (504) 525-4455

Fantastic choice for a romantic date night evening

Bourbon Cowboy

241 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 231-8519

Chances are pretty high that Maddie is going to ride a mechanical bull while still in her wedding dress here.

The Carousel Bar & Lounge

214 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 523-3341

Get here early, because the rotating bar only has sixteen seats, and you WILL want to sit specifically at the Carousel Bar.

Jacques-Imo's

8324 Oak Street, New Orleans, LA 70118
, (504) 861-0886

NOLA-style comfort food in a fun atmosphere

Barcadia New Orleans

601 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 335-1740

An arcade and a bar in one location? Sold. Maddie first got to play the Star Wars Battle Pod here
