Things To Do
Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits
Build your own cheese plate & enjoy a bottle of wine while listening to live music. We fell in love with this spot & know you will too! Even though it is off the beaten path.
Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar
Need a refreshing cocktail paired with a dozen oysters (or two) while sitting in a fern-surrounded patio? Us too!
Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar
These chargrilled oysters & bloody marys will rock your world!
Cochon Butcher
This is a must-stop before heading to the airport. Grab a muffaletta & some souvenir meats to stuff in your suitcase.
The Dungeon
Feed your inner punk/goth/vampire.

Tiki drinks! Tiki drinks! Tiki drinks!
Toups' Meatery
Go hungry, plan to share, GET THE TURKEY NECK.
Turkey and the Wolf
Hop on the trolley because Chef Mason Hereford is a wizard when it comes to sandwich making. Tell us your vote between the fried bologna & the collard green melt; we can't choose!
Copper Vine
We physically cannot shut up about the crawfish beignets & "gentle sage" cocktail.
Old Absinthe House
Looking for freedom, beauty, truth, & love? Or just the green fairy? This Bourbon St. dive has it all.
Backspace Bar & Kitchen
On a cross-section riddled with dive bars, this one is our favorite. Probably has something to do with the library theme & $2 PBRs.
Emeril's
Feel like 7-courses of pure luxury? This might've been the best meal of our lives. BAM!
Pêche Seafood Grill
We stumbled upon this for lunch and it was love at first bite. Don't sleep on the fish sticks!
Elizabeth's
Sweet little brunch spot near Bacchanal with yet another great bloody mary!
Mother's Restaurant
The line can be wild for breakfast, which probably means its incredible. We've had their Famous Ferdi Special po'boy for lunch & get why it's famous.
Bamboula's Music
Always good jazz at this Frenchman St. spot.
Dat Dog
Because who doesn't want a decked-out hotdog after listening to live music?
Ruby Slipper Cafe
Insane brunch spot w/ 3 locations where its hard to choose between the eggs cochon & the stuffed french toast.
Cane and Table
The bartenders here are cocktail magicians.
Hideout Bar
Lively bar on Bourbon w/ a cute back patio where you can hear live music & play bags/cornhole.
Famous Door
Want to hear Don't Stop Believing covered by a live band on Bourbon St.? This spot is always playing your favorite 70s & 80s classic rock covers to an energetic crowd!
d.b.a.
Great spot for live music on Frenchman!
French Quarter Fest
This fest will be happening the same weekend as the wedding! We've never been but it seems to be a free music fest celebrating the soul of New Orleans.
