Morning Call Coffee StandMorning Call Coffee Stand
This is our favorite beignet spot in the city. We like to go here for date nights. Definitely get their yummy hot chocolate. The crawfish étouffée is also really good! Morning Call has been around since 1870.
Costanza's Sno-Balls & Soft ServeCostanza's Sno-Balls & Soft Serve
We love this local sno-ball stand! Sno-balls ARE NOT snow cones! They are a delicious heaven on earth. J & J both love the coconut sno-ball flavor, but Jaime prefers it stuffed with chocolate ice cream and Jeff prefers vanilla. They have many flavors from berries to mint or even wedding cake and bubble gum. You can do multiple flavors, plus they have toppings!
Royal Sushi & BarRoyal Sushi & Bar
This is our go-to sushi spot. The white ninja and Tchoupitoulas rolls are our favorite items to order. Their hand rolls, mackerel, calamari, and ramen are also fantastic.
Juan's Flying Burrito: Mid-City or Magazine StreetJuan's Flying Burrito: Mid-City or Magazine Street
Juan's is one of our favorite local spots for a chill dinner. We often eat at the mid-city location, but we also like the original location on Magazine Street. We recommend dining at either. Jaime's favorite is the blackened fish tacos and Jeff's is the Surf Punk burrito.
Angelo Brocato'sAngelo Brocato's
We love this legendary Italian dessert spot. Try the baci and stracciatella gelato scoops. Baci is chocolate hazelnut and stracciatella is Italian dark chocolate chip. They also have the best cannolis in town.
Bucktown Marsh BoardwalkBucktown Marsh Boardwalk
This is one of our favorite date walk spots. It's especially beautiful at sunset.
New Orleans Museum of ArtNew Orleans Museum of Art
The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) holds many lovely contemporary and classical pieces. Although it problematic for anywhere to hold colonized ancient relics, NOMA does have several Buddhist pieces including a majestic larger than life Guanyin statue, several depictions of the Buddha, Wisdom Kings, and a Benzaiten scroll.
Besthoff Sculpture GardenBesthoff Sculpture Garden
This sculpture garden is a true gem. It's located outside of NOMA. We love this place and always recommend it to visitors. It's home to countless incredible statues and sculptures. Entry is free.
