Things To Do
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
This is the go-to spot for Po' Boys. Max and Lauren both love fried shrimp Po' Boy - it's the best in the city. Pro tip: If the line is long you can order your food along with a drink at the outdoor bar!
The Camellia Grill
A simple bar service diner with New Orleans charm! Try the chef special and a chocolate freeze!
Café Du Monde
A must stop for a beignet and cafe au lait! CASH ONLY
Saba
Amazing Mediterranean food in a beautiful setting. This is a busy spot so grab a reservation or try to walk in and get a spot at the bar!
Shaya
Highly regarded restaurant with Mediterranean cuisine in a fun atmosphere. Plan to make a reservation if you want to make sure you get the chance to experience this spot!
Magazine Street
Magazine street is a great place to get some walking in and check out small shops and restaurants. It's quite long so plan accordingly or you may need to catch a ride to get from one end to the other. Don't go to Bourbon street; go to Magazine street!
Tableau by Dickie Brennan & Co.
This is the first place Lauren and Max shared a meal in New Orleans! All of the food is amazing, but one of their favorite dishes is the crab claws! They recommend this spot if you're in the French Quarter; it's just off Jackson Square.
Bayou Beer Garden
Lively outdoor bar with solid eats and a great selection of drinks. It's a short walk from Parkway Bakery and fun stop after you've grabbed a Po' Boy!
Wrong Iron On The Greenway
A great, mostly, outdoor bar with a permanent food truck and large beer selection!
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar
One of the oldest bars in the US and a great place to meet some interesting New Orleans characters. Famous for their "Purple Drank". Lauren and Max recommend ordering one to share along with your drink of choice.
The Carousel Bar & Lounge
Iconic spot to grab a drink with a rotating bar (hence the name)!
City Park
A picturesque park with a sculpture garden, walking, trails, and most importantly a Cafe Du Monde location to grab a beignet and cafe au lait while you walk. It's one of the largest urban parks in the country!
The National WWII Museum
One of the best museums in the United States and a must stop for history buffs!
Le Bon Temps Roule
One of the first spots Lauren and Max visited on their first trip to New Orleans together. Unassuming neighborhood spot to grab a beer and great live music! It's also open 24 hours a day... (Pictured Lauren, Max, Mitch Hallum and his daughter Melyssa).
Commander's Palace
New Orleans staple for top notch service and food!
Pat O'Brien's
Pat O's is famous for their invention of the Hurricane! It's not famous because it tastes great. In the late afternoon it's great fun to hang out in the courtyard or the piano bar where you can request songs and watch the famous "tray man" play his silver platter with his fingertips!
Napoleon House
Napoleon House is another one of the oldest bars in the US that's still operating. Try a Pimm's Cup and a Gin Ramos Fizz - they are known for them!
Preservation Hall
Preservation Hall is just that a place where the musical heritage of New Orleans is preserved by local musicians who perform classic New Orleans tunes in a very small and intimate setting. If you want to check it out make sure to get a reservation!
