Things To Do
The French Quarter
The French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. It is full of beautiful Cajun and Creole architecture, restaurants, businesses, lively jazz music, and vibrant culture. It's the home of famous landmarks like the Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, and the famous Bourbon Street. Don't leave without experiencing the heart of New Orleans!
The Garden District
The Garden District is a picturesque neighborhood filled with historic homes and shaded by ancient oak trees. On St. Charles Avenue you can walk the Mardi Gras parade route or take a trolley and see the lush gardens. Magazine Street features shops, restaurants, and businesses, and in the middle is Lafayette Cemetery, featuring 19th-century tombs.
The National WWII Museum
Colby's top pick! With 7 buildings to explore, it is the official World War II museum of the United States. Spend a few hours learning why World War II was fought, how it was won, and it's lasting impact.
Café Du Monde
The best beignets around! Definitely try a classic french doughnut with powdered sugar before you leave. Growing up, Laura would ask her mom to use their beignet mix to make breakfast on her birthday.
Mother's Restaurant
A Neveu family favorite, this family-owned hole-in-the-wall restaurant has some of the best, authentic Cajun food!
