Things To Do
The Sazerac House
The Sazerac House (FREE!) provides visitors with an informative and in depth history of New Orleans spirits along with cocktail tastings. We love learning about the origins of the Sazerac, prohibition, and getting some free cocktail recipes. Something we learned, around 5,000 defiant New Orleans establishments served liquor during Prohibition. And a Mai Tai is always delicious.
New Orleans Storyville Museum
The Storyville Museum provides a fascinating and in depth look into New Orleans' infamous red light district within the context of a history of the city as a whole. It also touches on where Jazz originated.
Potions Speakeasy
Tucked away behind Fritz's Jazz Club, if you head through the green door by the stage, you will find the entrance to Potions Speakeasy. Tell the doorman in the courtyard that the vampire sent you, and you will be lead into a vampire themed speakeasy with excellent cocktails and tarot readings available on request.
Antoine's Restaurant
Founded in 1840 and the birthplace of Oysters Rockefeller (Marcia's fave) we love this restaurant with a ton of Mardi Gras history. Notoriously haunted, we recommend asking for a look at their 2.5 mile long wine cellar. If you head down there, you'll find our names inscribed in the ceiling with our wedding date.
Tropical Isle. Hand Granade
You can't visit NOLA, without trying the infamous hand grenade. One is plenty, two and we might not see you at the wedding.
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar
One of the oldest surviving buildings in the city, Lafitte's Bar is iconic for its cheap drinks and unique atmosphere. With live music every night of the week, there is always a crowd there.
