Pretty much this. I stayed at a hilton a few blocks away from bourbon street. We planned a few things but ended up winging it most of the time.
def go to Cafe Du monde for some beignets
I cant tell you where, but po boys in Nola are on a different level. i ate one every day i was there and didnt get tired of them.
I did an alligator tour. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to the swamp. Very memorable experience. We got a tour guide that ordered a huge pickle bucket filled with crayfish (he stopped in the middle of the tour to go and get them). When he came back he showed us how to eat them and told us to enjoy and pass it around (best i've ever had, he explained we wouldnt get anything like that in new orleans). Had a good time.
went to this place The Three Muses – muse [myuz] -n : a source of inspiration; a guiding genius and had some great appatizers and drinks while listening to an awesome jazz set, coulda stayed in there all night.
Also ate at Cochon Restaurant | New Orleans Dining | Cajun Southern Cooking walked away very satisfied.
Pralines were new to me, couldnt get enough of them.
Lots of art on the streets and odd 1 of stores
Plenty of boozes all over the place.
Found that we flocked to bourbon street our first night. Second night we did it again, and then after that we spent so much time out during the day exploring everything else there was to do and see that we were pretty much down with bourbon street. If you have never walked it though its worth seeing. lots of drinking and music, strip clubs, and you'll see some tettas.
From where we were everything was super walkable. and with something going on litterally at every turn, you dont even mind walking and seeing what will present itself on the next block.
I think we were there for 4 or 5 days? had a ball and would love to go back.
Pralines aren't even a NOLA specialty. They're allovrr the South. Glad you got to have some.
Good call on Po Boys. A well prepared Oyster Po Boy is in my top 3 sandwiches.
