What to Do in New Orleans
Blue Oak BBQ
If you find yourself in Mid-City, this place has phenomenal BBQ.
Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar
Best oysters in the French Quarter
Casamento's Restaurant
Best oysters in the city.
Mayfair Lounge
This is where we had our first date! It's a dive bar uptown, and we think it's one of the best!
Compère Lapin
If you want a nice meal in a hotel in the CBD, book a reservation here! Nina Compton from Top Chef runs it, and it's freaking delicious.
Second Vine Wine
Great wine store uptown! Stop in to enjoy a glass or buy some for your room!
Columns
Absolutely beautiful place where you can enjoy the gorgeous Garden District and St. Charles Ave. Food and drinks. Best Pimm's cup.
Marjie's Grill
We love the food here. Get the pork knuckles.
Erin Rose
EXCELLENT dive bar in the French Quarter. Get the frozen Irish coffee.
Bar Tonique
Very good cocktails, on the edge of the French Quarter
Chart Room
Excellent dive bar in the French Quarter
Pal's Lounge
What would a trip to New Orleans be without Pal's? A fucking waste of time. It's the best bar, if not the only bar, in our hearts.
The Delachaise Wine Bar
Fabulous wine bar right on St Charles. Listen to the soothing sounds of the world's worst saxophone player while you sip rose. Where Randy and Kate used to go after Tango lessons.
Island of Salvation Botanica
If you are looking to get your tarot cards read, this is the place to go! It's a little pricier, but you get what you pay for!
Baldwin & Co.
Lovely bookstore and cafe
Croissant D'Or Patisserie
Truly mind-blowing pastries in a charming, off-the-beaten-path French Quarter cafe.
Verti Marte
How many times can you find yourself in the French Quarter, starving, wondering where to go eat late at night? As many nights as there are in a year! Verti Marte is the answer. Cash-only. Sketchy as hell. So satisfying.
Sylvain
Excellent restaurant in the French Quarter for a delicious, reasonably-priced meal, with all architecture and charm you could want.
The AllWays Lounge & Cabaret
The best place to see live drag, comedy, or burlesque in New Orleans. "I miss this place every day" - Kate
Bayona
If you want a nice meal in the Quarter, this place is never bad. Truly delicious, high quality food and service, and for some reason, rarely overrun with tourists.
