Walking Magazine Street is a must. Start at Merchant House and you can walk your way all the way through to Audubon Park. Some of our favorite shops and restaurants (besides KILBY) include: Merchant House, St. Pizza, St. Vincent Hotel (historically relevant to the Engelsens funnily enough!), Stein's Deli, UAL, Saba, Dakar, Scriptura, Pizza Domenica (our first date).
Our store! We won't be working on Friday or during wedding weekend, but if you get here earlier in the week, come say hi and hang out with us!
Iconic New Orleans food. Wear a coat.
This is the National WWII Museum. It would take a week to get through every exhibit.

A classic. A great place for relaxing in a garden to listen to live music, with great food too.

A great little club to see jazz.
