We highly encourage you to stop at Frank's Lounge on your way to Houma from the airport for one of Frank's World Famous Bloody Mary's. This is a South Louisiana Staple. Frank's will be on the left hand side of Highway 90, well worth crossing the highway for one of their Bloody Mary's.
If you're looking for great, authentic seafood, this is the place to go. An added bonus, the owner's wife is from Iowa.
The place to go for the best burger in Houma. It's also owned by family friends, who are just really great people.
If you are looking to try an authentic Po-boy (also know as a Poor Boy sandwich). Try Griffin's. You can't go wrong with a shrimp or roast beef po-boy. Here is a little history of how the Poor Boy sandwich came about: https://parkwaypoorboys.com/new-orleans-parkway-bakery-and-tavern-history#:~:text=In%201929%2C%20the%20%22poor%20boy,and%20onto%20the%20picket%20line.
A great place to eat in Houma. They brew their own beer, and it's great.
This is the first place we went to after we got engaged.
This is a really fun, hands-on museum in Houma. Marti and her dad have spent a lot of time here.
This is one of Houma's most historic sites. It's also really hard to miss (look for a giant pink house).
Experience the French Quarter while also enjoying the oldest and most historical restaurants in New Orleans. Antoine's food and wait staff are second to none. Reservations required.
Located in the CBD, between the French Quarter and New Orleans Historic Uptown Neighborhood, the National World War II Museum is one of our favorite places in the city. Marti loves the museum (and not just because she's a history teacher). Give yourself ample time to take in all the museum has to offer.
Located inside the Four Seasons Hotel, the building formerly known as the World Trade Center, Vue Orleans offers a 360 degree view of the city from it's 34th floor observation deck. At Vue Orleans you can can experience different cultural aspects with exhibits including New Orleans top chefs and local music.
Enjoy a drink and lite bite at the Columns on historic Saint Charles Avenue in Uptown.
We ate here for our first date. The drinks are fantastic. We recommend the frozen pomegranate mojito.
Located on Lake Pontchartrain, this is one of our favorite places to go, especially Brogan.
Located right outside New Orleans, in Jefferson Parish (where we live) this is one of our favorite Italian restaurants with great food and wine.
