Things To Do
Molly's Rise and Shine
Love the Grand slam and the fried chicken biscuit!
The Elysian Bar
Bar at Hotel Peter + Paul great vibes all around
Jewel of the South
Best bar in the United States!
Mosquito Supper Club
Open Thursdays through Sundays, a communal multi-course tasting menu. A one of a kind experience, we recommend making your reservations far in advance.
Turkey and the Wolf
The best bologna sandwich in America.
Ayu Bakehouse
Close to Hotel Peter + Paul, perfect for a quick breakfast or food coffee. Emily’s recommendation is the boudain boy!
Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits
A great patio and wine selection. No reservations ever. Don't be surprised if there is a wait to get in. Do not be surprised that the wait is absolutely worth it.
Saint-Germain
One of our best discoveries in New Orleans. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and the selection immense. Dinner can be an extremely formal affair but the option to pop in to the bar for a drink is always there. Note, their sign out front says Sugar Park.
Keife & Co.
Any trip to New Orleans would be incomplete if I didn't stop in to Keife and Co. One of the best bottle shops in the country, I never return home without picking up something new and local. Go say hey, and grab one of the best souvenirs New Orleans has to offer!
Manolito
Because sometimes you want the best damn frozen daiquiri and nothing else will do.
Margot’s
Amazing wood fired pizzas and cocktails in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood.
N7
One of the best courtyards in the city. Enjoy a wonderful French meal with Japanese influence and a great wine list.
Cure
Black Duck Bar, Palace Cafe, New Orleans
Named after one of the most notorious rum running vessels during Prohibition, the Black Duck Bar lives up to its namesake and should be a top priority for any rum aficionados in the audience. If you're going to go, let Justin know, he'd love to join you.
Bar Marilou
Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29
Every recommended list in every city should have at least one tiki bar.
THE TELL ME BAR
Divey natural wine bar
R Bar & Royal Street Inn
Sometimes you want a bar that is open till 3AM, or 5....we don't judge
McHardy's Chicken & Fixin'
It is scientifically proven fried chicken can cure hangovers. Get extra bird sauce.
Galatoire's
The classics are classics for a reason.
The High Hat Cafe
For when you need a Po'Boy
Commander's Palace
25 cent lunch martinis. Do we need to say more?
Dooky Chase Restaurant
Go for the lunch buffet that changes daily.
Compère Lapin
James Beard award winning Restaurant by chef Nina Compton
Sneaky Pickle & Bar Brine
Unassuming cafe with an ever-changing, vegetarian-focused menu of farm-fresh, from-scratch fare.
Fives
Oyster Bar in the french quarter
Dakar NOLA
The menu tells the story of the deep cultural connection between Senegambia and New Orleans through food. Sittings take place at 7PM for a coursed meal and reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance.
MaMou
The historic location, elevated yet approachable menu, and focus on hospitality highlight the charm of the French Quarter and make MaMou a neighborhood gem.
Baby’s
The Country Club
Spend some time lounging by the pool with a drink in hand. The Bywater Country Club sells day passes to their pool for $20 and features a restaurant on site and multiple bars.
Coutelier NOLA
Coutelier is one of Justin's favorite shops in the city. It is a must visit destination for anyone that loves being in or around the kitchen.
