Things To Do
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
Longtime (since 1911) neighborhood hangout with a patio known for classic-style po' boys.
Carousel Bar
Grab a few cocktails at the Carousel Bar, one of the places we went to the day we got engaged.
Cure
Grab a drink at Cure, a firehouse turned stylish!
Cafe Du Monde French Market
The Original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand was established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. The Cafe is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You must try the world famous beignets & cafe au lait! Be sure to get extra napkins!
Jackson Square
Jackson Square is a historic park in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960, for its central role in the city's history, and as the site where in 1803 Louisiana was made United States territory pursuant to the Louisiana Purchase. It’s also where we got engaged! Take lots of photos in our engagement spot in front of St. Louis Cathedral.
Frenchmen Street
Check out the best local music spots on Frenchmen! Frenchman street is best known for the three-block section in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood which is home to some of the city's popular live-music venues; one of our favorites is Spotted Cat!
Magazine Street
Stretching six miles parallel to the Mississippi River from Canal Street to Audubon Park, Magazine Street travels from the Central Business District and the Warehouse Arts District through the Garden District and Uptown. Clusters of shops are interspersed with charming homes, and a mix of renovated warehouses and shops selling housewares, pottery, period furniture, clothing, books, glass, toys, china, soaps and jewelry.
Bourbon Street
Noisy. Raucous. Nocturnal. For many New Orleans visitors, Bourbon Street embodies the life of a party town. The street is lit by neon lights, throbbing with music and decorated by beads and balconies. Named for a royal family in France and not the amber-colored alcohol, Bourbon Street has become a place for revelry of all sorts.
