Things To Do
Stanley Restaurant
Great brunch spot in the French Quarter
Adolfo's Restaurant
Get the veil parmesan with the Ocean Sauce on top! It's cash only as well. It's on Frenchman so there are a lot of great places to get a drink while you wait for your table.
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
Awesome po-boys! My personal favorites are the fried oyster or fried shrimp po-boy.
The National WWII Museum
There are short movies that Tom Hanks narrates in the museum, but I think they are a different ticket. I've heard great things about them as well.
Audubon Aquarium
Great aquarium!
Harrah's Casino
Welp, it's a casino so...
Freret Street for coffee, lunch and light shopping
Freret Street is a span of 4 or 5 blocks in uptown with food, bars, coffee and light shopping. Company Burger is a highly rated burger joint, Dat Dog is a hotdog place with any type of dog you can think of, Midway Pizza has my favorite pizza, the Uptown Meatdown. It's also on the way to Audobon Park and right by Loyola and Tulane University.
Audubon Park for a leisurely stroll
Audobon Park is in the heart of uptown right behind Tulane University. There is a loop around the park and is a very beautiful place to stretch your legs and walk off all the food you'll likely be eating!
The French Market for coffee and tchotchke shopping
The historic French Market is an open-air market with vendors of a wide variety of random things.
