Things To Do

In case you were unaware, there's plenty to do in New Orleans. You've probably heard about Cafe Du Monde, Bourbon Street, and St. Louis Cathedral. You probably haven't heard about these places. Please don't get arrested, or at least have the courtesy to wait until after the ceremony to do so.
