Parkway Bakery & Tavern (Po Boys)
Since opening in 1911, Parkway Bakery & Tavern has been a neighborhood landmark serving iconic "poor boys," or "po boys" for tourists & natives alike. When they ask if you want it “dressed”, they mean with lettuce, tomato, pickles, & mayonnaise!
Frenchmen Street
"The local’s Bourbon Street" Just outside the French Quarter, it’s a favorite spot for jazz, blues, & street performances, offering a more authentic, laid-back alternative to the city's busier tourist areas. We love 30°/-90° & Maison!
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar (Bourbon Street)
One of the oldest bars in the US Their "Purple Drank" is an absolute must-try! Both delicious & deceptively strong... It's a signature experience that captures the laid-back, fun-loving spirit of New Orleans.
