Things To Do

City Park

Serving as New Orleans' largest outdoor attraction since 1854, City Park is one of the oldest parks in the country. With its iconic oak trees and picturesque moss canopies, this 1,300 acre green space brings in millions of visitors each year. People come from near and far to enjoy the beautiful trails and scenery, as well as the endless amount of vendors, museums and activities within the park itself. With multiple themed gardens, biking and walking paths, live concerts, an amusement park and the World's largest grove of mature live oak trees, City Park has something for everyone!

Ralph's On The Park

Great spot for a cocktail while you're here!

Jamila's Cafe

You have surely heard us talk about how much we love this place. It's tiny - reservations needed! If you go, tell Moncef and Jamila that you're our friend - they will surely treat you like family!

Cafe Du Monde City Park

One word: Beignets!

Audubon Park

Another phenomenal park! Lots of amazing oak trees and a beautiful walking path if you need to walk off your beignets.

Tree of Life

One of the most magical spots in the city. Not the easiest to get to - but worth it to see the Tree of Life!

Magazine Street

Magazine Street is full of fun boutiques, great cafes, and some of the city's best restaurants! You can't go wrong. Just remember to wear your walking shoes!

Saint Charles Avenue

This is a must. Start at one end of St. Charles Ave and hop on the streetcar. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful mansions and incredible scenery.

Tartine

We love this spot for a sweet, casual brunch!

New Orleans Botanical Garden

Incredibly beautiful! Totally worth the admission price. We love to come walk around here.

Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden

FREE! This is an amazing garden full of the work of renowned artists. Best of all, it's free!

Louisiana Children's Museum

For anyone with kiddos! It's brand new and gorgeous.

New Orleans Museum of Art

Prytania Theatre

The sweetest old movie theater.

Creole Creamery

This is a NOT TO MISS - local ice cream shop that has been around for a million years and has amazing flavors!! There's a second location in the Lakeview neighborhood if that's easier for you to get to.

French Truck Coffee

We love French Truck. All of their locations are cute but this one is the best. Great spot for a quick bite of brunch or lunch, and great coffee options!
