Pat O'brien's court yard
If you insist on only staying in the French Quarter during your visit, you have to at least visit Pat O's! Katherine's favorite Bourbon Street bar. In fact, it's probably the only Bourbon Street bar that Katherine will even entertain going to. Famous for their Hurricanes and Dueling Piano bar.
