Things To Do
French Quarter
Walk around the French quarter and take in the historic architecture, tourists from around the world, and the eccentric street performers
La Boulangerie
Incredible french bakery with little treats or a full lunch
Jewel of the South
Matt and I's favorite cocktail bar in the city
Garden District
Take the street car and marvel at the large oak trees lining the street with a diverse mix of homes, from single-story cottages to the grand historic mansions and lavish gardens of St. Charles Avenue, on the Mardi Gras parade route.
BEARCAT CAFE UPTOWN
Located within walking distance of the The Alder Hotel, this brunch spot isn't one to be missed
French Truck Coffee
exceptional, freshly roasted coffee in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere
Magazine Street
Magazine is a notable street for shopping, bars, or to grab a bite to eat. It is too long to walk so pick a section and go explore!
Cure
Fantastic cocktails and small bites plus a cozy vibe with outside patio. Very close to The Alder Hotel
Creole Creamery
Where Matt and I had our first date
Lilette
Sophisticated French fare & many wines in a sunny, tiled space & patio. One of Matt and I's favorite date night restaurants
