Laura Jean & Patrick
Things To Do
City Park
Art museum, sculpture garden, very pretty park. Also has a 24 hour cafe you can get beignets at.
Cajun Encounters Tour Company
This is a really good option for a swamp tour. It’s on a slower boat than the airboat experience, but here you get to see some real Cajun swamp homes along with the alligators. They offer transportation from the city.
New Orleans Ghost and Vampire Tour
Vampire tour vs haunted tour - I liked the vampire tour better, it’s stories of actual reported crimes.
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
Walk along Bayou St. John look at beautiful houses and stop at Parkway Tavern for PO boys
Magazine Street
Walking down Magazine street, antique shops & restaurants.
Oak Alley Plantation
About an hour away from the city
B & C Seafood Inc
Real Cajun food on the way to Oak Alley Plantation, (or on the way out I suggest), it’s on the same road before you hit the plantation
Airboat Tours By Arthur
This is our favorite tour. Its high speed, so if you are looking for a calm ride, this isn't for you. You have to drive to it yourself, about 40 minutes out of the city
Bayou Wine Garden
Midcity, neighborhood bar
Erin Rose
French Quarter Dive Bar
Cure New Orleans Cocktail Bar
Craft cocktail bar in the uptown neighborhood
The High Hat Cafe
Stop by here on your way to get drinks at Cure, and sit at the bar with the best bartender in town, Diana.
R Bar & Inn
Locals dive spot in the Marigny neighborhood
Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits
Bywater neighborhood casual wine bar
The Country Club
This is a total hipster spot but has good food, and a pool and drag brunch on Sundays.
Carousel Bar
This is at the hotel that we have blocked for guests. Famous French Quarter Bar, located in an elegant hotel on Royal Street. Carousel is actually moving.
Pêche Seafood Grill
Laura Jeans favorite restaurant in the city. Central Business District (everything is good there, casual fine dining, reservation suggested - we can help with that if needed)
