Oh man! I used to spend about a week of every month there for work. There’s so many good spots to eat.
I highly recommend spending an entire day at the WWII museum. I planned 4 hours there, and missed so much because they closed around 4 or 5 if I recall.
Food wise, I’ve had just about every chargrilled oyster in the city and Dragos is my favorite. They have a couple locations. Frenchman street is where all the great jazz clubs are, so definitely hit that up on in the evenings. I honestly avoided bourbon street like the plague.
It’s really hard to find bad food in the city, but here’s a list of some of my favorites:
La petit grocery
Coops
Patois
Husky
Jacque imo’s
Maple leaf bar if wait jacque’s
Polo lounge
Irene’s
Activity wise, I honestly love taking the street car and going through the garden district. Make sure to bring cash for the street car. Any of the guided history street tours are great too.
