Your New Orleans Travel Guide
The Infamous Cafe Du Monde
You can’t visit New Orleans without experience a beignet from the world famous Cafe Du Monde. Open 24 hours, be sure to make this part of your check list!
Live Jazz and Busy Nightlife!
Once you’ve spent time on Bourbon Street, your natural next stop should be Frenchmen. It’s a short Uber ride away, but Frenchmen Street is well worth the trip for anyone looking to enjoy late night Jazz.
Garden District
If you’re up for a short uber trip (<15min), we highly recommend taking a trip out to the Garden District. Known for massive houses and notable residents, the Garden District is a scenic escape from the party happening in the quarter. Look for walking tours here, all of which can be booked in the French Quarter!
Cheese, Wine, Jazz
Bacchanal is a short (<15min) uber ride from the heart of the French Quarter. The unassuming building opens into an international spread of soft and hard cheeses. Choose your cheese, shop for wine, and secure a table outside with the live Jazz band. (Take advantage of the tasting if you can make it on time!)
Ghost & History Tours
Whether you’re looking to learn more about the city’s Spanish and French heritage or excited to hear more about it’s haunted urban legends, there’s a walking tour for it! These tours can be booked just about anywhere in the quarter. Don’t forget to stop by Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo while you’re at it!

For the Oyster & Beer Enthusiast
Crescent City Brewhouse is our go-to spot for freshly shucked oyster. No matter what time of day, swing by for the best (and largest) oysters and a cold pint. 9/10 the music here is in full blow and if the weather permits the entire front is open.

Not Your Average Po’ Boy
Po’ Boys, a traditional sandwich of Louisiana, usually consist of meat or seafood and are served on New Orleans French bread. Killer Po’ Boys flips that concept on its head with unique fusions and new turns on a classic. (If you’re up for it, also check out the Museum of Death next door, it’s a trip!)

Fine Dining But Not Snobby
If you’re looking for fine dining in the city, we highly recommend Compère Lapin. The chef is classically-trained in French cuisine, spent her career working in renowned Italian kitchens, and now develops menus empowered by her Caribbean roots. Makes for an amazing night out. (For those staying at the Old no 77, this is inside the hotel!)
