Things To Do

We are so excited to share a few of our favorite NOLA spots. This list might keep growing!

Napoleon House

500 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

Fun for history buffs -- built as a home for Napoleon when he was sent into exile (clearly, he blew that decision). But also -- great Bloody Marys and Muffalettas, and home of the original NOLA-style pimm's cup!

The Camellia Grill

626 South Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118

Counter dining. Incredible, fluffy omelets. Los Angelenos, think a NOLA version of Apple Pan, but for brunch.

Frankie & Johnny's

321 Arabella Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

Casual dining if you're looking for a Po Boy and a beer. Could be where KD had her first Abita? Who knows! Get the stuffed artichoke!

Molly's Rise and Shine

2368 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

Great breakfast spot. Likely will be a line for a table, so get there early.

Faulkner House Books

624 Pirates Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116

Former home of William Faulkner, turned bookstore in the French Quarter. Very fun to talk with the people who work there -- they'll tell you every/anything you ever wanted to know about Billy F.

The National WWII Museum

945 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

If you love WW2 history like me (Dave, obviously), worth a visit. Great way to kill a couple hours, learn a few things, and get out of the NOLA heat.

Cafe du Monde

813 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70116

One of the few iconic tourist stops that live up to the hype. Skip the to-go line, grab a seat, and enjoy a beignet and a coffee. Great people watching too!

Liuzza's by the Track

1518 North Lopez Street, New Orleans, LA 70119

Classic NOLA dishes and beer from chalices! Fun place to watch a game, have a beer/meal, and take a load off.

Maple Leaf Bar

8316 Oak Street, New Orleans, LA 70118

Fun music venue! Never know who or what you're going to see, but always a good time.

New Orleans Museum of Art

1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans, LA 70124

Some cool collections here!

St. Pizza

1152 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

Best pizza in the city!

The Chloe

4125 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115

Very cool hotel with a vibey bar that we love!

Parkway Bakery & Tavern

538 Hagan Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119

Hoooo boy! It's Katherine's favorite PoBoy!

Central Grocery and Deli

923 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70116

Home of the ORIGINAL Muffuletta! Absolutely delicious.

Atchafalaya

901 Louisiana Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115

Quirky but upscale Louisiana dining.

Balcony Bar & Cafe

3201 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

A total dive with a great balcony to people-watch on Magazine Street. Is THIS where KD had her first Abita?!? My money's on Balcony Bar...

Joey K's Restaurant & Bar

3001 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

Casual spot for NOLA classics

Galatoire's

209 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

One of the best, most special fine dining restaurants in the city. The absolute best time to come is Friday during lunchtime, and make sure you sit downstairs. Seriously, do not let them play you like a tourist seat you upstairs!

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar

941 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70116

This is one of the oldest bars in America -- it has been around since the 1700s.

Commander's Palace

1403 Washington Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70130

Like Galatoire's, one of the best fine-dining establishments in the city. We recommend the jazz brunch!

Hansen's Sno-Bliz

4801 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

Hooooo ball! It's Katherine's favorite sno-ball!

The Sazerac Bar

130 Roosevelt Way, New Orleans, LA 70130

Bar where the Sazerac was invented, naturally...

Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar

5240 Annunciation Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

Katherine's second favorite Po-Boy

Bayou Bar

2031 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70130

Jazz that'll knock your socks off. Unless you're wearing loafers, in which case it'll knock your loafers off!

Le Ponce

3133 Ponce De Leon Street, New Orleans, LA 70119

Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. We love this funky, cute area (The Fairgrounds).

Magazine Street

Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA

Fantastic street to take a stroll down -- great shopping, lots of galleries and coffee shops, and fun bars/restaurants to pop into.

Audubon Park

6500 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70118

A lovely place to take a walk.

Audubon Zoo

6500 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70118

This is a very good zoo, if you need a break from eating.

City Park

New Orleans, LA

An expansive, beautiful park, home to the Louisiana Children's Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Lafayette Cemetery No. 2

2110 Washington Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70113

Do yourself a favor and visit ANY cemetery.

Dat Dog

3336 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

There are a lot of locations of Dat Dog, all are great -- you can get a variety of very interesting and delicious hot dogs here, including alligator! Perfect for late night snacks.

Drago's Seafood Restaurant - Hilton New Orleans Riverside

2 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA 70112

Katherine does not endorse this recommendation. Sam Brand, however, loves the char-grilled oysters and suggests you sit down at the bar and watch the "flames lick the sky." Dave Brand is pretty indifferent.

Snake and Jake's Christmas Club Lounge

7612 Oak Street, New Orleans, LA 70118

Fun, perpetually Christmas-themed, dive bar if you're interested in drinking 6 Miller High Lifes for $10.

Fat Harry's

4330 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115

Is THIIIIS where KD had her first Abita? Definitely in the running. Young, local hang out near the Columns.

The Delachaise Wine Bar

3442 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115

Low-key wine bar near the Columns. Great french fries and patio!

St. Joe's Bar

5535 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

You guessed it! Another bar. Casual neighborhood hang-out.

The Gold Mine Saloon

701 Dauphine Street, New Orleans, LA 70116

French Quarter dive bar. It's gross. But sometimes gross is fun!?!

Brothers Food Mart

2139 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70130

Katherine's dad's favorite fried chicken. Yes, it's in a gas station. Yes, it's delicious.

Flour Moon

Bagels, bagels, bagels! Downstairs at the Henrietta hotel.

Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits

Cute single-screen neighborhood movie theater. No clue what will be showing, but a great escape from the heat.

Rue De La Course

1140 South Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118

Coffee shop in a giant, old bank. Great place to escape the heat and/or do a little work.

"Creole Taqueria" with multiple locations.
