Things To Do
French Quarter
Once full of families and Paul's childhood home, "The Quarter" is New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood. Plenty to do and take in here. Grab a Hurricane in the courtyard of Pat O'Brien's or stop for lunch at Napoleon House, where the city leaders plotted to rescue Napoleon and install him as Emperor in Louisiana (never happened, because... New Orleans). Just be sure that if someone approaches you saying they bet they know where you got them shoes, you don't take the bet.
Café Du Monde
Where Paul got to eat beignets after church at St. Louis Cathedral (if he behaved). Coffee is traditionally served with chicory. Don't knock it til you try it!
Mr. B's Bistro
Come dressed your best! Nestled in the heart of the French Quarter, Mr. B’s opened in 1979 and has become a true French quarter fixture, famous for their regional specialties in a casual bistro setting. Consider making reservations for their Sunday Jazz Brunch 10:30 am – 2:00 pm.
Stanley of New Orleans
Conveniently located on historic Jackson Square, with the backdrop of St. Louis Cathedral and downtown New Orleans. At this casual spot, you can enjoy breakfast all day, delicious sandwiches, Italian sodas, house made ice creams, milkshakes and Louisiana favorites.

The Carousel Bar & Lounge
The Carousel Bar opened inside the historic Hotel Monteleone in 1949, becoming New Orleans’ first and only rotating bar. Its carousel theme and unique design is a treat you won’t find anywhere else, offering guests a pleasant, subtle rotation around a world-class cocktail bar every 15 minutes.
