New Orleans - Things to Do - $ to $$
French Quarter - Shops, street artists, restaurants, music, etc. Great for tourist sightseeing. Also Cafe du Monde is here! Bourbon Street - great restaurants. We recommend going here in groups and not after dark. Jackson Square - great photo opps St. Louis Cathedral - sightseeing Magazine street - Amazing food on this street. We recommend Velvet Cactus (a Mexican-Caribbean fusion restaurant), District Donuts (AMAZING donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and sliders with a different donut menu every day), and Sucrè (a delicious patisserie). Streetcar rides - super cheap, but be sure to bring cash, as that is the only tender that they will receive.
