Racquel & Dustin
Things To Do
Royal House
This is Racquel's favorite place for oysters on the half-shell. Best place to sit is at the bar!
French 75
One of the Top 5 Bars in the country and known for having the best cocktails in New Orleans, this iconic place is a must-visit. We love this little, vintage place for its classic cocktails, amazing service and great bites to eat.
The Sazerac Bar
Sample the world's first mixed drink at The Sazerac Bar. Stylish, historic and serving a classic sazerac, Dustin's drink of choice when in NOLA. What more do you want?
The Court of Two Sisters
Looking for a real jazz brunch with all the fixin's? Head to this spot for one of the most beautiful courtyards in the Quarter, delicious, classic Creole food and amazing musicians.
New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
Check out this tiny, quirky spot for some interesting history of pharmacology and questionable medical procedures. This apothecary once belonged to America's first licensed pharmacist.
Broussard's Restaurant & Courtyard
Truth? We almost had our wedding here. Delicious food, great cocktails and another lovely, historic courtyard. Highly recommend a drink (Milk Punch, anyone?) from the mixologists at the Empire Bar and sampling the Oysters Brousssard and Bananas Flambe. Delicious!
St. Louis Cathedral
The Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, the oldest cathedral in what would become the United States, is a gorgeous structure to visit or to worship in and is adjacent to Jackson Square Park.
Jackson Square
A great place to visit, as this beautiful public park is surrounded by shops, horse-drawn carriages, restaurants, artists, street vendors, musicians, tarot card readers and more!
Ghost City Tours in New Orleans
Haunted Tours are very popular in one of the oldest cities in America. Check out Ghost City for fun and spooky walking tours that explore the most haunted spots in the French Quarter after dark.
Cajun Encounters Tour Company
Looking for a swamp tour? Take a guided tour of the famous Honey Island Swamp. You'll glide through alligator territory and hear all about the swamp and its natural inhabitants. See gators and wildlife up close and personal - children of all ages are on these tours!
The Bombay Club
A truly hidden gem, this is an upscale martini bar with live music we discovered only after being tipped off by a local waitress. If you're looking for a cool, dark place with a laid-back vibe, try this one out. Just don't tell too many people about it ;)
Garden District
The French Quarter isn't the only area of New Orleans worth visiting. The Garden District is full of beautiful historic mansions, oak-lined streets, and upscale boutiques and restaurants. You can take the famous St. Charles Street Car from the FQ and there are several walking tours available of the historic homes too! https://www.tripsavvy.com/french-quarter-to-garden-district-streetcar-1605163
New Orleans Streetcar
One way is $1.25 and day passes are only $3 (exact change is required). Take the historic St. Charles Line from the French Quarter to the Garden District to ride the oldest continuously operating streetcar in the world.
New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum
Do you voodoo? The museum's casual and curious experience is intended to preserve the legacy of New Orlean's Voodoo history and culture while educating and entertaining visitors.
The National WWII Museum
The National WWII Museum, formerly known as The National D-Day Museum, is a military history museum located in the Central Business District. Founded in 2000, it was later designated by the U.S. Congress as America's official National World War II Museum in 2003.
