Must Dos in NOLA

[jaylea]

We are there for Friday night, Saturday and Sunday (I'm also there until Tuesday, but working).

Any recs on dining/activities? I've been before but it was Mardi Gras so that was pretty much it.

I love taking food tours because they allow me to orient myself in a new city and eat great food. With that in mind, I'd recommend Tastebud Food Tour. It was a lot of fun!

I really enjoyed walking all over the French Quarter and the Garden District. We didn't do this on our last visit but eventually I'd like to go to the WWII Museum.

Have a great trip!

Friday: lunch at Commander's Palace since M-F they have $0.25 martinis at lunch.

General recommendations:

Brunch at the Ruby Slipper - so good we went there twice!
Jazz at Snug Harbor
Dinner at Jacque Imo's and Cochon
Cafe du Monde
Gator tour
Carousel Bar (has to be your first drink of the night.)

Oh NOLA is probably one of my favorite trips! I went with my mom 2 years ago (I think)

Here is my recap

Ditto the Carousel Bar recommendation.

I had a really good dinners at Cafe Amelie and GW Fins. Have a hand granade at Tropical Isle, and hurricanes at Pat O'Briens. Do either the martini lunch or jazz brunch at Commander's Palace (I have done the jazz brunch and it was fantastic!).

YAASSS. Can't believe I forgot Pat O's. Go to the piano bar and yes, get a hurricane. I loved it so much.
