Things To Do
Cafe Du Monde French Market
The original french market coffee stand, serving cafe au lait and hot beignets 24 hours a day! Go find your beignet bliss!
Pirates of the Quarter Tours
A pub crawl equipped with hilarious storytelling and so much history!
Barataria Preserve
Jean Lafitte's National Historical Park and Preserve protects the natural and cultural resources of Louisiana's Mississippi River Delta region. The preserve has trails and conoe tours through bottomland hardwood forests, swamps and marsh. A sure way to see an abundance of natural wildlife and a great place to visit if you drove to LA, as this is 30 minutes south of the French Quarter.
Cajun Encounters Tour Company
A great, authentic experience! Cajun Encounter Tours offer city, plantation and swamp tours - our favorite is obviously the swamp tour! This tour company will pick you up from your location, swamp tours are on small, flat-bottomed boats and give great tours of the beautiful Honey Island Swamp and all the wonderful wildlife the swamp has to offer!
Acme Oyster House
Life’s more fun with seafood! And this is some of the best seafood.
Antoine's Restaurant
Antoine’s is the birthplace of such culinary classics as Oysters Rockefeller, Eggs Sardou (poached eggs over artichoke bottoms with anchovies, topped with hollandaise sauce), and Pommes de Terre Souffles (those marvelous puffed potatoes Antoine’s helped popularize). This is also the spot where Sean and I celebrated our engagement 💍
Commander's Palace
Commander's Palace, nestled in the middle of the tree-lined Garden District, has been a New Orleans landmark since 1893. Known for the award-winning quality of its food and its convivial atmosphere, the history of this famous restaurant offers a glimpse into New Orleans' storied past and has been the go-to destination for Haute Creole cuisine and whimsical Louisiana charm.
Old Absinthe House
“Everyone you have known or ever will know eventually ends up at the Old Absinthe House.”
Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is a historic structure at the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip Street in the French Quarter. Most likely built as a house in the 1770s during the Spanish colonial period, it is one of the oldest surviving structures in New Orleans and said to be the oldest structure housing a bar in the United States! Grab a voodoo juice and enjoy the patio!
Brieux Carré Brewing Co.
With a laissez faire approach to brewing, Brieux Carré embodies the New Orleans spirit with brews as weird and interesting as the city they live in. Some of my favorite sours can be found here, they have a great tasting room and outdoor seating on a patio out back. Only steps away from the Vieux Carré, so make sure to stop by Brieux Carré!
