Nicki & Ted
Things To Do
Commander's Palace
25¢ martinis. That’s all there is to say. They serve this 25¢ martini during lunch Monday-Friday! It will be the best day of your life. Some say our wedding will be the best day, but this day will be hard to beat. PLEASE NOTE: there is a dress code! Please look on the website before going!
The Sazerac Bar
This is where they invented the sazerac!
Carousel Bar
Get the milk punch!
The National WWII Museum
We have not been, but we hear it’s epic! We’re definitely planning on checking it out!
Cafe Du Monde
Beignets!
Acme Oyster House
Ted was practically weeping eating their famous chargrilled oysters! If you like oysters, this a must!
Willie Mae's Scotch House
Best fried chicken in town! *Make sure you’re at Willie Mae’s. There are places in the Quarter called Willie’s Chicken and it’s not the same.
Garden District
GORGEOUS neighborhood to walk around. You can even get a pamphlet at the Visitor Center and do a self guided tour!
Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits
A great place for wine, cheese and music! Feels like you’re in a friend’s back yard!
The Spotted Cat Music Club
Anywhere you go on Frenchmen street is going to be amazing, but we went here and loved it!
Shaya
SO GOOD! Can't stress enough how much we loved it! Go! Eat!
Preservation Hall
Very famous jazz venue!
Dooky Chase Restaurant
Recomended to us: Legendary Creole chef Leah Chase serves down-home staples in a vibrant, art-filled space. **Since building this website, Leah Chase has passed away. The restaurant is still open and serving her amazing food. I just learned that she was was the inspiration for Tiana in Disney's The Princess and the Frog!
Frenchmen Street
Just walking up and down Frenchmen Street has become one of our favorite things to do! You hear amazing music spilling out of every bar, visit bookshops and there are artists set up selling their work!
Magazine Street
Just a great street to walk up down to pop into little shops or grab a bite to eat!
