We love City Park! Go for a walk, jog, bike, or boat ride when the weather is nice. Check out City Putt mini golf course, or Storyland amusement park (great for young kids).
This is possibly our favorite coffee in the world. Treat yourself to a NOLA Iced and enjoy some people-watching in the Quarter.
This indoor food hall is perfect when you can't all decide on one thing to eat! Definitely get the oysters, though.
Fabulous place to eat dinner if you're staying in the Marigny. Pizza is amazing, but there are lots of creative and delicious small plates as well.
Best darn sandwiches in town!
Take a walk along the Mississippi and watch the boats go by.
Delicious beers in a great outdoor space.
Charming outdoor wine bar and restaurant.
If you have a few hours free, we'd definitely recommend going on a swamp tour! This is a great way to see alligators out in the wild. There are several great swamp tour companies- look for one with shuttles from downtown.
