Things To Do
Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits
Hayley's favorite spot in New Orleans. Build your own cheese boards, live music, and a bountiful selection of wine. What's not to love? Mike and Hayley will likely be here for the live music on Thursday, October 20th. Stop through if you are around that evening!
Gris-Gris
Mike worked under Chef Eric Cook at the American Sector Restaurant. On our first visit to New Orleans together, we enjoyed a memorable dinner here with friends and family. Chef Cook's classic and nouveau dishes are sure to satisfy any NOLA craving.
The Camellia Grill
Camellia Grill kept Mike fed during undergrad (he had a running tab). With an incredible breakfast & lunch menu, you can expect a long, but worthwhile wait at this classic diner. Mike's standard order: chili cheese fries, the mardi gras sandwich, and a freeze.
Yinzer’s Amazing Cheesesteaks
Owned and operated by our good friends Michael and Colleen. Stop by for the best cheesesteaks south of the Mason Dixon!
The National WWII Museum
Hayley would be remiss not to mention the National World War II Museum, a highly-engaging and interactive Museum experience. Added bonus: Mike worked in the American Sector restaurant.
City Park
City Park is 50% larger than Central Park in NYC! It includes the New Orleans Museum of Art, Storyland, Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, the botanic gardens, and our favorite NOLA Putt-Putt. City Park even has a Cafe du Monde location. With lots of playgrounds and park space, this is a great spot to visit if you will have little ones with you.
Frenchmen Street
Frenchmen Street offers as much talent on the street corner as inside the venues. Window-shop for whatever flavor of music you are in the mood for: jazz trios, brass bands, zydeco, country, folk, rock, and more.
Frenchmen Art Market
This open-air art market is not to be missed! Open Th-Sun 7pm-12am, you will find a wide selection of local artists, artisans, and more. This is the best spot to pick-up a unique souvenir from your trip. We've never walked away from a visit empty handed.
