We recently took a trip to New Orleans, here’s a quick list of where we went. Mostly a lot of food, walking and music– very fun spot to visit. Here’s a list of some of the places we went by category.
Brunch
- Ruby Slipper
- Bearcat CBD
- Elysian Bar
- Alma
All really good! Alma probably our favorite, Elysian bar really nice vibe, Bearcat had great biscuit+egg sandwiches.
Beignets
They get their own category- all very good. Hard to pick a favorite. Also had to pick up a “Beignet done that” t-shirt.
- Cafe du Monde
- Lorettas
- Cafe Beignet
Music
- Pat O’Brien’s dueling piano bar
- Spotted Cat
- Cafe Negril
Our favorite was Pat O’Brien’s.
Lunch
- NOLA Poboy
- Turkey and the Wolf
- Willie Mae’s chicken
Not really a fan of Turkey and the Wolf, got too much hype. Willie Mae’s seems to have multiple locations.
Dinners
- Saba (Mediterranean)
- Budsis Thai
- Osteria Lupo (Italian)
Saba was our favorite here, the pita + dips were great.
Museums
- World War II Museum
- Presbytère (which includes the Hurricane Katrina exhibits)
- New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
- Jazz Musuem
- Historic New Orleans Collection (French Quarter History)
I really learned a lot at the Katrina exhibit, and it was easy to understand. The WW2 musuem was impressive, but also overwhelming.
Walked Around
- French Quarter
- Garden District
- Magazine Street
- City Park & Sculpture Garden
We really liked walking around the French Quarter and did that for a while. Explored a number of galleries and a few antique shops. The Garden District was a nice place to explore
Other Unique Spots
- Mardis Gras World
We found this spot online and this was actually very cool to see how they make the floats.
