Taylor & Dylan
Take in New Orleans
Cafe Du Monde
One of Dylan's first favorites of New Orleans. Be sure to order a cafe au lait and an order of beignets!
French Market
A flea market for all possible souvenirs. Be sure to stop at the gator boat for "Gator on a Stick"
New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA)
NOMA is a great art museum that even has a sculpture garden! We've had a few dates here that coupled with the adjacent City Park.
The National WWII Museum
Many of our friends have spent days here. It's a great immersive museum that takes you inside the story of the war that changed the world.
Tulane University
Taylor went to school here to earn her Chemical Engineering degree. It's a beautiful campus that's adjacent to the equally beautiful Audubon Park. Be sure to check out this area for the Magnolia lined St. Charles Ave to get the full taste of the Garden District.
Magazine Street
Magazine Street has amazing shops and restaurants! It's a walkable area that should be great to visit in October!
St. Louis Cathedral
As the centerpiece of the French Quarter, St. Louis Cathedral is one of New Orleans' most recognizable landmarks. The oldest cathedral in North America, St. Louis Cathedral was originally built in the early 1700s. The structure standing today is actually the third cathedral built on this spot, since the first two were destroyed. Religious services are still held here. Even if you're not interested in attending a service, past visitors urge you to take a peek inside, describing it as "beautiful inside and out."
Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
This is an amazing aquarium that specializes in aquatic life of the Americas. The exhibits feature regions throughout North and South America including the Caribbean reef exhibit, the Amazon exhibit, a Mississippi River gallery, and a Gulf of Mexico exhibit. Don't forget to check out the African penguins and sea otters!
Frenchmen Street
If you want an authentic New Orleans that isnt Bourbon Street, head here! Frenchmen is four-blocks of live music, bars, restaurants, night clubs and art galleries. No you won't catch any beads here from locals. Don't forget to check out Dat Dog!
Steamboat NATCHEZ
Take a river cruise on the Natchez! It's a great tour when the weather is nice outside. It's a fantastic way to see more of the city outside of the French Quarter.
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1
Yes, cemeteries in New Orleans consist of tombs above the ground, so the bodies don't flood away! There are plenty of cemeteries throughout that you can check out. Be sure to respect the space!
