Things To Do
Frenchmen Street
Once a hidden gem among locals, Frenchmen Street is now recognized as one of New Orleans’ best spots for finding live music and local food and drink. There are so many places to visit here so we will offer a couple of our favorites. The Maison: The Maison is the premier bar on the strip. They offer live jazz played against a backdrop of New Orleans quintessentail food and drinks. 30/90 Located in the heart of Frenchmen St., 30/90 named itself after the nautical coordinates of New Orleans. With old brick that compliments an otherwise modern interior and live music, the bar’s atmosphere captures the essence of New Orleans’ atmosphere: a perfect blend of old and new. Dat Dog: A local favorite, Dat Dog takes all the best of New Orleans and stuffs it into its famous sausages. They offer all different types of sausages from beef and andouille to even gator. Stop by for a quick bite as you continue your stroll through Frenchmen Street.
