Things To Do
City Park
It's a beautiful huge park with lots of fun stuff to see including a massive sculpture garden. Get some beignets at Cafe du Monde!
Audubon Park
Another gorgeous park, probably prettier but with fewer activities. Great walking/biking trail, and access to the Mississippi River at the Fly (entrance down by the Zoo)
WWOZ - 90.7 FM
Best radio station in the nation! Hear some local sounds and be informed of the local live music schedule via their Livewire
The Maison
The club where we met! It was Halloween, Jake was playing in a tiger costume, and he jumped off the stage to buy a drink for a cute stranger named Wan Qi, dressed in a team USA gymnastics costume, who turned out to be the love of his life!
Bayou St. John
One of our favorite hangout spots, just chillin' on the bayou with a picnic or a craft or a long conversation about life
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
Best poboys in the city, classic vibes
Taqueria Guerrero
Our favorite Mexican restaurant that everyoooone loves
Flour Moon Bagels
Some of our favorite bagels in town
Stein's Market and Deli
Some of the best bagels in town owned by one of the biggest personalities in town (Dan Stein)
Antigravity Magazine
Wan Qi's favorite local (free!) monthly publication that spotlights New Orleans artists, politics and social justice issues, and more
Rendezvous Tavern
We went on our first date here! It's a dive bar. We talked for hours and did a crossword puzzle together.
Café Reconcile
Cafe Reconcile is a nonprofit that teaches at-risk youth skills in the service industry and a restaurant in one; the food is very good (fried green tomatoes are the truth) and your money supports the nonprofit - everyone wins!
Budsi’s Authentic Thai
Casual and consistently yummy Thai food in a central location
Saturn Bar
Always great music and immaculate vibes here
Acamaya
Contemporary Mexican seafood restaurant that has been getting all the awards and accolades as of late (and is extremely delicious), and is where Luo Qi works as a server
Tân Định
Our favorite Vietnamese food in town (though you'll probably need a car to cross the bridge into the West Bank)
