Things To Do
Cafe Du Monde - City Park
Cafe Du Monde has the freshest and best tasting Beignets in the City! The Cafe Du Monde in City Park is a true must see location. Located in the midst of City Park alongside the water and playground, you will get a sneak peak of our wedding venue as well.
Ghost Bar
Ghost is hands down our favorite bar in New Orleans. This place has some awesome and funky ghost artwork and spooky, fun cocktails. Like the serial killer. It tastes just like Fruity Pebbles! The bartender Frank has a one-of-a-kind playlist with songs that every former emo kid will never forget.
St. Louis Cemetery No. 3
We live a 5-minute walk from several of the most incredible cemeteries in New Orleans. It is well work a walk/drive through to see the beautiful grave sites and history.
Morning Call Coffee Stand
The original Morning Call coffee stand was established in 1870, in the French Quarter, by Joseph Jurisich. Its legacy, carried on by succeeding generations of the Jurisich family, continued with various locations throughout the New Orleans area while currently in their new, beautiful location at the end of the streetcar line, at the intersection of Canal Street and City Park Avenue. Just a few minutes from our home we always recommend a visit. It is also a perfect place to stop and park to take the street car downtown. Morning Call began with a traditional French-drip method that they still use today. From the specialty roasted beans, to the hand sewn filters, to custom made drip unit, to the final pour, they carry on that great Morning Call flavor. Nothing hi-tech, just the best way to make a world famous Cafe Au Lait as it has always been done, since in 1870.
