Things to do in NOLA & Abita Springs

Here are a few of our favorite places to stay, dine, drink and visit when in New Orleans! We recommend you spend an evening in New Orleans on Friday night and drive to Abita Springs for Saturday. PLEASE text/call us with any questions or if you are looking for particular recommendations! We hope our guests are able to make it a weekend in New Orleans & Abita Springs! December is a lovely time to visit!

St. James Cheese Company - Uptown

5004 Prytania Street, New Orleans, LA 70115
, (504) 899-4737

Our favorite salad & sandwich spot! There is a CBD/downtown location & an uptown location. We have many memories at St. James. Our favorite sandwiches are the Smoky Blue, IL Mostro and Gruyere. If the weather is lovely, we would recommend getting a to-go order from the uptown location & driving to Audubon Park for a walk & picnic!

Pêche Seafood Grill

800 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 522-1744

One of our favorite seafood restaurants in New Orleans! It has amazing food, cocktails and seafood! This is a place we always like to bring out-of-town guests to and you won't be disappointed! Would suggest you make reservations as it is always booked!

Carousel Bar

214 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 523-3341

Found within Hotel Monteleone- this is one of our favorite bars within the French Quarter. There is often fun live music with local artists & jazz. Sit at the slowly moving carousel & enjoy a cocktail or find a table to listen to the music. It can get pretty busy because it is such a hot spot to visit but it is worth it!

The Tchoup Yard

405 Third Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
, (504) 571-9273

This is a local favorite for day drinking. It has a very large outdoor area with tons of TVs so great to watch any football games. We love to go here during the day! Dogs are welcome! The beer mugs are huge frozen goblets and so refreshing!

Audubon Park - St. Charles

6500 Audubon Park Trail, New Orleans, LA 70118
, (504) 861-2537

We have a lot of memories in this park- this was just 0.4 miles from where we use to live uptown so we would have frequent walks & talks here. The inner loops is just under 2 miles. If you are feeling up to it, you can cross magazine street and walk up to "The Fly" where you can walk along the Mississippi River. If you complete this whole loop it is about 3 miles so a great distance for a nice walk or run!

French Truck Coffee

4536 Dryades Street, New Orleans, LA 70115
, (504) 702-1900

One of our favorite coffee shops with many locations throughout New Orleans! If you are looking for a coffee or even a morning bite to eat this is a great place to grab something on the run! The Dryades location has a little outdoor patio to enjoy your coffee/breakfast if you wish!
