Great walking/jogging trails and picnic spots on the banks. Home of the Bayou Boogaloo, Super Sunday Mardi Gras Indians and St. John's Eve voodoo rituals. Just watch out for the duck poo.
Beautiful! Got me thinking about moving!
Bayou Boogaloo is always a good time! Friends, food, family, & great music. :-) happy face
This place is great. Don't miss the mural of New Orleans on the ceiling or the art gallery upstairs. Also, the ladies behind the bar make a great old fashioned.
Chef James Cullen is the man! Great food & atmosphere. The wait staff is excellent! Too notch service!
Treo, an art gallery that will also feature craft cocktails and a menu of small plates, is coming soon! This is a labor of love by the owners of Finn McCool's Pub. Treo is pronouced Tray-Oh.
Stunning - go inside and light a candle. Beautiful stained glass and murals.
One of the most beautiful churches I have ever been too!
Oldest active Cathedral in the United States.
Amazing!! It's a curated market so you are seeing some of the best stuff from local artists.
Thursday-Saturday 7pm-1am. Sunday 6pm-midnight. Check out local artists' handmade goods in between music sets in an open air setting.
Check out the market before heading into any of the music clubs for unique, locally made, reasonably priced art.
In spite of its history, this is not the best place to taste the classics, but worth seeing the 1930’s WPA-era murals by artist Paul Nina.
Yes, the gin fizz is great. Try the Hot Buttered Rum in winter, though! It's like liquid Christmas. Not too sweet, not too strong...just PERFECT!
At the Sazerac Bar inside the Roosevelt Hotel, order a potent sazerac or a more refreshing Ramos Gin Fizz. -Travel Editor
Look for the old D. H. Holmes mural on the wall
Try the crab claws from appetizer menu, yummy! And BBQ shrimp portion for one person is huge
Order ANYTHING and I promise, you cant go wrong!!
strolling through wnderful decorative arts collections and many more. cafe noma on first floor is wonderful, too. both interior and the food!!
There's a secret room behind a fake wall on the 1st floor where you can see the original building exterior from before the expansion. It's also where they keep people who go looking for this room.
The Museum of Art is the city’s oldest fine arts institution. It houses over 40,000 objects as part of its permanent collection. Don’t miss the Syndney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden next door.
Mr. B's Bistro is a great restaurant: famous for barbecue shrimp. Cafe Du Monde has fabulous chickory coffee and beignets.
Carnival isn’t just for a day here: Parades, balls, and plenty of king cakes make this party town even more festive from January 6th to Mardi Gras. - Green Guide Editor
NOLA = best place in USA
Bunker level is awesome and Crown Royal Club has great food, bathrooms and bars!
The Dome has hosted 6 Super Bowls; more than any other sports facility. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the Dome was closed for repair and was reopened on Sept 25 2006. The Saints won that night
The Superdome is the largest fixed dome structure in the world and can hold over 75,000 people. Translation: Who Dat Nation holds court on Sundays.
Killer cocktails and Texas bbq! Great jukebox too.
The baudin cocktail is delish! The tater tots and coleslaw are hands down most amazing I have ever had. Make sure to eat here. Smoke free Saturday - Monday!
Loaded tots will blow your mind. Also order yourself a Buck25 vodka or a Toulouse Red Absinthe
Order a glass of the Rose and dates stuffed with goat cheese wrapped with bacon! One of New Orleans finest.
Congratulations, Cure, for making Esquire's 2011 list of Best Bars in America! Read more.
Try the Ramos Gin Fizz
You can't go wrong with the fish dishes, especially the andouille-crusted fish or pecan-crusted catfish! Also great NOLA classic desserts: bread pudding and bananas foster.
Bananas foster is a must.
complimentary bread in a bag is so good. bananas foster flambéed by your table is a must.
They have some of the best bloody Mary's in the city and where I got my start as a bartender. Also the workplace of Aletha...the longest serving bartender on Bourbon St.
If you need to get away from the noise, try to get upstairs and out onto the patio deck. Unless it's Mardi Gras, almost no one is ever there.
Show up at 9pm for the "love is in the air" tradition- big fun.
A regular for the past 2.5 years, these tapas are the best in the city. Try the lamb lollipops and grilled brie.
Great restaurant but they are constantly out of Mojito ingredients
Very cool atmosphere, loved it!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
