Art Exhibition: Prospect.4 New Orleans

Prospect New Orleans is a citywide triennial of contemporary art that emphasizes collaborative partnerships and presents the work of diverse local, national, and international artists in unique and culturally exceptional venues. This year, inspired by the lotus plant.

The Camellia Grill

As we say in the McLure family, it's the best "greasy spoon" burger you could ask for. Classic diner atmosphere, most likely a wait for lunch or brunch, but worth it. Great late-night burger option.

Cafe Du Monde

The famous fried dough covered in powdered sugar that never disappoints. Late night bonus: they're freshly fried.

Audubon Park

Favorite park of designer Olmsted, who also designed Central Park in NYC. Our wedding venue and a lovely place to take a run, walk, or picnic.

Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar

Best shrimp or oyster po-boys in New Orleans. Eccentric hours. Call ahead to make sure they're open.

La Crepe Nanou

French restaurant that's not overly fancy, but still delicious. Perfect place for lunch or dinner.

Port of Call

Burger, cocktail, jukebox spot that's been New Orleans legend for 50 years. Also has live music.

Napoleon House

Old historic bar and restaurant, Virginia's favorite spot in New Orleans.

Three Muses

Cozy bar and club with small plates, strong cocktails, and live jazz.

Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro

Live performers and upscale Creole food in one of New Orlean's most historic jazz spots.

Dat Dog

Gourmet hot dogs with veggie and vegan options.

The Ruby Slipper Cafe

Great for brunch and lunch.

Mother's

Classic comfort food, get there early to beat the line.

Stein's Market and Deli

Best Jewish Deli in New Orleans. New Yorkers, we challenge you to try it.

Acme Oyster House

Casual oyster spot. Great to pop in if you're braving the Quarter.

Seaworthy

Hipster upscale oyster bar and restaurant. Similar to Maison Premiere, for New Yorkers.

Carousel Bar, Hotel Monteleone

The famous rotating bar at Hotel Monteleone, where Hemingway, Faulkner, Welty and Williams used to knock 'em back.

The National WWII Museum

For the history buffs.

Old Ursuline Convent Museum

Ogden Museum of Southern Art

Museum of Southern art.

Drip Affogato Bar

Coffee + ice cream. Nuff said.

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar

Arrgh, Lafitte's dark and dank hidey-hole. Come for the history, get really drunk.
