Things To Do
St. Roch Market New Orleans
Join us for brunch at our favorite lovely, airy market, featuring local vendors offering a variety of sweet and savory eats and drinks.
Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden
The sculpture garden is one of my favorite places to simply take a walk. As a bonus, the admission is free! -Amina
New Orleans Botanical Garden
This is the site of our very favorite date together! It was hot of course, but the covered bench in the Japanese garden and the native and tropical species rooms provide excellent shade. $8 admission.
Tree of Life
"The Live Oak Society estimates that any oak with a girth of 17 feet in circumference (measured at 4 feet off the ground) is probably 100 years of age or older." This guy apparently clocks in at just under 35 feet. He's seen some things. It provides yet another opportunity to contemplate the wonders of nature and is fun for the adult climber, too!
Palace Market Frenchmen
Most of my friends are artists. Some of them sell their outrageously good work in this fun, open air market. It's open every evening between 7p and 12a, so you have plenty of time to find something lovingly made that you'll want to take home with you.
1000 Figs
Hands down, our favorite place to eat in the city, and the first place I ever truly enjoyed a falafel. Fresh Mediterranean in an adorable, comfortable atmosphere. Close enough to bike or walk before or after your outing at the sculpture or botanical gardens. We highly recommend The Feast with a side of brussels sprouts.
Pizza Delicious
The title is the entire story. We love it.
