Things To Do
Chateau Golf & Country Club
Some of us will be golfing on Friday morning, 2/28, our tee time starts at 8:07 am. If you'd like to join us, call the number above, ask for Fernando and to be added to our group under #1289. Greens and cart fees are $80 and rental clubs are $25 ($105 total). Let Fernando know how many you are and he will organize the foursome or add you to a group to make a foursome, fivesomes are also welcome (hell yeah, Fernando). You pay when you get there. We'll have a bus pick us up at the Omni around 7 am, and we'll leave the course to return at 1 pm. No excuses using rental clubs...it ain't the arrow, it's the Indian.
The Jazz Playhouse
Friday night 2/28 after the rehearsal dinner we're planning to head over to the Jazz Playhouse for a little burlesque show with live music (starts @ 11). Use the "view" button below to join the waitlist for tickets, and as soon as they're released you'll get a notification to purchase your ticket. It's $25 to get in and a 1 drink minimum. The Jazz Playhouse has a rotating cast of soloists performing to live music, with a classy nod to the art of dance and music, this is one helluva show. Viewer discretion advised.
Haunted History Tour of the French Quarter
When Marisa and I first came to New Orleans together she excitedly encouraged we go on her favorite walking tour of the quarters. You're gonna learn all about the history of New Orleans while enjoying a beverage and a stroll on the dark streets of the French Quarter.
Cuban Creations Cigar Bar
This place is amazing. From the outside, it's an unassuming typical New Orleans building. Nothing more than a door to dip into to hide from the French Quarter madness. Upon entering, you are transported to an amazing, marble, 20 ft. ceiling social club in Cuba. Complete with dominoes and a full bar to pair your cigar with. I feel fairly confident saying I'll see some of you there.
Oceana Grill
Open every day till 1 am, serving their full menu, Oceana Grill is a good spot for a late-night snack or brunch. You can also get them delivered to your hotel, however, the restaurant is half the fun.
Cafe Du Monde French Market
This unforgettable open-air coffee shop was established way back in 1862 and serves cafe au lait and a beignet, the state doughnut of Louisiana. The line is always down the block, but it moves faster than a NYC taxi stand. Cash only.
Justine
Justine is a voguish eatery serving a clever take on traditional French fare and feel. It's a compelling option for dinner and drinks with spectacular live entertainment most nights. I'm pretty sure I've been there.
Sweet Pea & Tulip Boutique
From crazy coasters to brilliant books, Sweet Pea & Tulip is an upbeat clothing boutique that is definitely worth checking out.
New Orleans Silversmiths
The New Orleans Silversmiths has been slinging jewelry since 1938. They have a superb selection of modern and antique jewelry, or so I'm told.
