Things To Do

We're so excited to share a few of our favorite places in the area with you! We suggest booking dinner reservations several weeks in advance because of the holidays. While most of these are our favorite restaurants or cocktails bars in the city, there are several other fun things to do! We suggest checking out City Park or Audubon Park to see the oak trees. There are several tours in the area to check out as well - ghost tours, cemetery tours, swamp tours, Garden District walking tours. If you like live music, we suggest checking out Frenchman Street to catch a show!
