Things To Do

City Park

The perfect place for those who prefer nice and quiet. Stay on the well maintained beaten path in the southern section or less maintained jungle like areas to the north. You can rent kayaks, or duck boat, or tricycles at the park. The sculpture garden is highly recommended. If you feel peckish while there, Cafe Du Monde and the NOMA Cafe are only a short walk away.

The National WWII Museum

Frenchmen Street

Explore live music, food and drinks, and the arts market

French Quarter

Good food, drinks, music, and (overpriced) souvenir shopping. The crowd can get a bit too thick though. Best place to catch some beads, or toss them at strangers.

Magazine Street

A good place for light shopping, food and drinks.

Bayou St. John

A favorite among mid city residents. Popular place for walking, running, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. Or you can find a bench or a nice patch of grass and sit and enjoy the evening.

Katie's

A nice blend of cajun and italian cuisine. We go there often.

Dooky Chase Restaurant

One of the oldest black owned fine dining restaurants. They specialize in creole cuisine. Consider booking a table about a month prior.

Commander's Palace

One of the finest creole restaurants. Consider booking a table about a month prior.

Caesars New Orleans Hotel & Casino

A nice place to lose some money!

Capt. Sal's Seafood & Chicken

A favorite among local Po-boy enthusiasts.

Parkway Bakery & Tavern

Another favorite among local Po-boy enthusiasts.
