Meet us in New Orleans

    Our Story
    Our NOLA picks

Our NOLA picks

We’re not saying this wedding is just an excuse to eat, drink, and explore one of our favorite cities, but it kind of is. If you’re making a weekend out of it (and you should), we’ve rounded up some of our must-visit spots: iconic eats, hidden gems, local haunts, and a few ways to walk it all off. Whether you’re here for 24 hours or turning it into a mini vacation, there’s something for everyone besides just our dance floor.

Cochon Butcher

930 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

Cochon Butcher is one of our favorite lunch spots! Dylan loves the cubano and mac and cheese while Karen prefers to try everything at least once.

Zee's Pizzeria

3914 Baronne Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

Zee's Pizzeria is a staple especially when we lived in the city! One of the things we couldn't resist.

9 Roses Restaurant

1100 Stephens Street, Gretna, LA 70053

A staple for Vietnamese food. Dylan and I would get take out many times from here. Also, a place we take Karen's parents when they are in town.

Fives

529 Saint Ann Street, New Orleans, LA 70116

Best martini in the city (in Karen's opinion)

Sofia

516 Julia Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

Fun brunch spot - usually has a DJ on the weekends for brunch!

Couvant

315 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

We celebrate at Couvant a lot. The food always comes out perfect and we never had a bad experience.

Audubon Park

6500 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70118

Audubon Park has this riverfront space behind the zoo that is where we would go for picnics. It is very spacious for the kids to have fun too.

Hot Tin

2031 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70130

A staple in the city - our favorite views come from Hot Tin. This rooftop is on top of Hotel Pontchartrain.

Doris Metropolitan New Orleans

620 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

Did you know Dylan is an Old Fashioned snob?? This is his favorite place to get one and one of my favorite happy hours.

For all the days along the way
