NIFVR - New Orleans?

DH and I are going to New Orleans next week for a conference, and it's snuck up on us. I've never been before, and have no idea what I want to try to cram into the afternoons and evenings. Anyone have any experience/words of wisdom?

Thanks!

Re: NIFVR - New Orleans?

  • My favorite restaurant is August. The whole experience (food, service, atmosphere) far surpasses any other. GW Fins is my second fave. The Coffee Pot is my favorite breakfast place. 

    Grayline does a walking cocktail tour of the French Quarter. It is one of the most fun things I've ever done in NOLA! Google it for more info. 

    It's hot as heck down here, so pack accordingly :) The aquarium would be a nice indoor activity to break from the heat. 

    Have fun!

  • i spent 5 wks there for work.  It's not ideal for a pregnant person, bc it will be hot as hell!!!  And it's a booze centered city, but the food is AWESOME.

    I like Nola, GW Fins, Emrils and a few others...let me think.  There is also a good to.dd eng.lish place inside har.rah's.  Har.rah's is also fun, and is well air conditioned :)

  • I was there for a few days for a meeting a couple years ago. We didn't have much play time, but it was fun just to wander around at night. Loved that you could get a drink at one place and just take it with you as you walked down the street!

    Beignets at Cafe du Monde were YUMMY!!!! Several of the women with me got in early and went on a trolley tour on the St Charles Streetcar where they could get on and off to go through the neighborhoods with the old historic homes and gardens. They said it was great!

    Have a great trip!

    Have fun!  I went with DH to a conference a few years ago.  The aquarium was funif you are trying to kill time.  My favorite restaurant was Jacques-Imo's (https://www.jacquesimoscafe.com/).  Completely off the beaten path (as in you'll definitely need a cab), but really funky and delicious.
