Things To Do
Shaya
One of Parker & Nioz's favorite spots to eat in New Orleans. The best hummus we've ever had!
NOLA Caye
Fun drinks and delicious Caribbean cuisine! We had one of our most memorable date nights here :)
Sofia
Great vibes for brunch and they usually have a DJ! Check out the massive pizza oven in the back.
Saint John
Exceptional New Orleans cuisine and close to nearby Frenchman Street if you want to follow it up with live music
Grand Isle Restaurant
LSU lost to Alabama the night we ate here . . . but the food is great and Fulton Street has other things to do -- such as bowling, shopping, etc.
Domenica
We tried Domenica while in town for another wedding . . . the Whipped cauliflower appetizer is delicious and it is located in the Roosevelt Hotel which is pretty to check out!
Cafe Du Monde
Traditional beignets - a New Orleans staple!
Hot Benny's
Also great beignets (preferred by the bride and groom) that's located closer to our hotel than Cafe du Monde.
Razzoo Bar & Patio
If you like to party and dance, Razoo's is a must! Always a good time :)
Pat O'Brien's Courtyard Restaurant
Classic Bourbon Street stop - especially for those that want to brave tasting the famous Hurricane drink! Also, check out the piano bar.
Chandelier Bar
Elegant and beautiful bar located inside the Four Seasons hotel. Rated the best Martini in America!
Drago's Seafood Restaurant - Hilton New Orleans Riverside
If you're looking for char-grilled oysters, these are the best of the best. You will be raving about these oysters!
Saba
Fabulous Israeli food, bright and sunny vibes. Also the spot where Parker officially asked Nioz to be his girlfriend!
Stein's Market and Deli
We got engaged in New York City, but didn't have a bagel that could beat a Stein's bagel. We'll let y'all be the judge, though :)
Compère Lapin
Amazing menu created by the one and only Nina Compton. We had a great date night here!
Copper Vine
We hear this place has great brunch (and lots of plants/greenery for those looking for a good outdoor space). Let us know if you like it!
French Truck Coffee
For the coffee addicts/lovers, this is Parker & Nioz's favorite coffee spot in New Orleans!
Luke
Yummy, creole food and it is right across the street from Intercontinental!
Canal Place
For the shopaholics (or movie-goers!), this is your place!
Harrah's New Orleans
Now called Caesar's Palace, this newly-renovated casino is a great spot for the gamblers! You could pay for your trip (or make it cost double) in just a few short minutes.
Frenchmen Street
Not quite as busy and tourist-heavy as Bourbon Street -- really fun area with live music and more locals!
Audubon Aquarium
Great place to take the kids, they will love the albino alligator!
Louisiana Children's Museum
A fun place that we used to go to as kids! Great for anyone with younger children.
The National WWII Museum
Great place to go for any history buffs out there :)
New Orleans Museum of Art
The city's oldest fine arts institution, located in City Park. This is where Nioz and Parker took their engagement pictures!
French Quarter
What New Orleans is known for.. the iconic heart of the city, full of restaurants, nightlife, colorful buildings, beautiful architecture and plenty of crowds!
New Orleans City Park
1,300-acre public park in New Orleans with beautiful oak trees. Great for those who are not into the bar or party scene!
August
For those looking for an exquisite fine-dining experience, August is one of the best places in town to go to. You will not be disappointed!
Osteria Lupo
On the iconic Magazine Street, this is a bit further out from our hotel in the Uptown area. Amazing Italian food and drinks!
Central Grocery and Deli
A must when you go to New Orleans - make sure to try a Muffuletta from Central Grocery!
