Things To Do
Preservation Hall
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz. Preservation Hall is a prestigious collective of the best jazz players in New Orleans who host intimate 1-hour shows of traditional jazz tunes. You should strongly consider attending a show before leaving town!
Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar
This old-school po boy spot is worth the hike outside of downtown New Orleans.
Frenchmen Street
On Fenchman Street, the music never stopped. From late afternoon through the early morning, locals and music fiends come here to get their fill of upbeat jazz, funk, and blues. Top spots include the Blue Nile and the Spotted Cat. Legendary trumpeter Kermit Ruffins from the Rebirth Brass Band is known to pop up from time to time. And don't miss the pop-up market in the evenings, where local artists sell prints, paintings, sculptures, and everything in between.
Commander's Palace
One of the most acclaimed restaurants in the United States, this legendary spot is the crown jewel of the New Orleans food scene and offers a fantastic jazz brunch on Sundays at 10AM.
