EXPLORING NEW ORLEANS

Here there’s something new to discover around every turn. From world-famous restaurants to hidden music clubs, the possibilities are endless.

Read on to explore a few ways you can

Follow Your Flavor Oysters Rockefeller. Bananas Foster. Barbecued shrimp. New Orleans is known for its culinary standouts. But its passion for food and drink lives in countless other restaurants and clubs around the city.

Follow your flavor to Café Du Monde, where you can start your day with a NOLA tradition. Treat yourself to a nice cup of coffee and a beignet dusted with powdered sugar.

After exploring the French Quarter, head over to Dickie Brennan’s Tableau for a menu that features classic French Creole dishes with a twist, such as oysters Maison or courtbouillon, a rich, seafood stew.

While you’re savoring the moment, take in views of Jackson Square.

When you’ve worked up an appetite again, make your way Uptown to Jacques-Imo’s Café, where you can try specialties like the deep-fried roast beef po-boy or shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake. For a truly intimate meal, try to get a seat at the two-top in the pickup truck parked outside.

Whatever you’re craving — from barbecue in the Bywater to vegan in the Riverbend — NOLA satisfies it.

Inside New Orleans

Follow Your Instincts New Orleans is a city brimming with different cultures and styles. Whether you’re looking for timeless antiques or cutting-edge fashions, there are plenty of shops and markets to explore.

Follow your instincts to Magazine Street, a six-mile stretch of the city known for its boutique shops. You’ll find everything from women’s fashions to a classic barbershop, complete with bowties and grooming products.

For a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, make your way to the Frenchmen Art Market. Every Thursday through Sunday night, you’ll find local artists selling handmade crafts like paintings, sculptures and soaps. More than 30 shops and cafés can be found at The Shops at Canal Place, including Saks Fifth Avenue and J.Crew. Stop by Mignon Faget to browse jewelry inspired by the culture, architecture and nature of New Orleans. The shopping excitement continues at The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, the nation’s first downtown outlet center, showcasing 75 brand name and designer outlets right on the waterfront.

Unwind after a day of shopping, and then get ready to experience more tomorrow.

Follow Your Curiosity NOLA’s rich history extends from the French Quarter to the Irish Channel and beyond. Every neighborhood has new sites and attractions for you to explore.

Follow your curiosity to the French Market,, a New Orleans icon since 1791. America’s oldest public market is home to a multitude of festivals and events throughout the year, though you can pay a visit any day for the NOLA tradition of “making groceries” at the farmers market.

While you’re in the Quarter, stop by the Napoleon House for a refreshing drink that comes with a history lesson. For more than 200 years, the building housing this bar has served as a NOLA landmark, and was once offered to Napoleon as a refuge during his exile. Sip on a Pimm’s Cup while soaking in the classic and casual atmosphere.

Continue on to the Besthoff Sculpture Garden in City Park, located on five acres beside the New Orleans Museum of Art. Take your time wandering the grounds as you explore more than 50 modern and contemporary sculptures.

End your day at The Columns Hotel, where you can step back into a grander, more elegant time. This historic, Italianate hotel was built in the 1880s and overlooks the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line. Grab a nightcap at The Victorian Lounge before resting up for another day of fun.

Inside New Orleans

Follow Your fire In a city that brings together different cultures and perspectives, it’s no surprise that creativity flourishes and art abounds. Explore everything from fine paintings to local crafts to experimental theater in New Orleans.

Head to Ashé Cultural Arts Center in the Central City neighborhood, where you can find creative works and activities that emphasize the contributions of people of African descent. While you’re there, take part in one of the center’s programs, browse an art exhibit or watch performances ranging from dance to storytelling.

Next, follow your fire to the French Quarter and RHINO Contemporary Co., a New Orleans cooperative of Louisiana fine crafts artists. In Crafts Co. the gallery, you’ll find jewelry, ceramics, glasswork, mixed media and more, all made by hand Right Here In New Orleans. As you browse, feel free to speak with the artists on hand who are there to provide visitors with information, education and local perspectives.

Then, make your way to Michalopoulos Gallery, also in the Quarter, where you can find works from the celebrated New Orleans–based artist. Michalopoulos is known for his distinctive oil paintings, which are praised for their energy, vibrant colors and musicality. In the gallery, you’ll find the artist’s architectural renderings, as well as his paintings of other abstract subjects.

For a great finish to your day, head to the Contemporary Arts Center in the Warehouse District. With more than 30,000 square feet, the CAC hosts bold experiments in studio and performing arts of all kinds, with world-class exhibitions, shows, educational programs and celebrations happening year-round. Step inside and admire its award-winning architecture and airy, transformational space. Relax the rest of the evening in preparation for a new creative adventure for tomorrow.

Follow Your Rhythm From brass bands to jazz legends, New Orleans is known for its rich, musical heritage. Wherever you go in this city, get ready to dance to music of all kinds.

All day long you can follow your rhythm to WWOZ 90.7 FM, a listener-supported, noncommercial radio station for New Orleans and the surrounding community. Tune in to hear jazz, blues, Latin, Cajun, funk and more music from New Orleans and beyond.

If you’re looking for a decadent yet tasteful night out in NOLA, head to The Bombay Club in the French Quarter. Part restaurant, part martini bistro, part live music club, it’s a quintessential New Orleans experience. Choose from a list of 125 martinis as you settle into an overstuffed, wingback chair and listen to a nightly set of jazz.

Inside New Orleans For a change of pace, travel Uptown to Rock ‘n’ Bowl, a New Orleans institution where you can rock ‘n’ roll while you bowl. Every night brings new live entertainment ranging from Cajun to blues to zydeco.

Get ready to dance the night away while sipping on beers and knocking down a few pins.

After a few rounds of fun, head to an Uptown music venue like no other: Tipitina’s. Tip’s has played host to NOLA music legends since opening its doors in 1977. Dr. John, the Neville Brothers and Trombone Shorty have all graced the stage at this excellent, standing-room-only venue.

End the night at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro on Frenchmen Street.

This NOLA institution has been serving up live music, regional fare and a great ambiance for more than 30 years.

Just when you think you’ve heard all that New Orleans has to offer, a song floats out of a Frenchmen Street club and piques your interest yet again. What bands will you discover tomorrow?

Follow Your spirit The upbeat, feel-good energy of NOLA is infectious, permeating every corner of the city.

Follow your spirit to Harrah’s New Orleans Casino, located steps from the French Quarter and featuring more than 3,800 slots, 100 table games, awardwinning restaurants and thrilling nightclubs.

Test your palate at The Wine Institute New Orleans (W.I.N.O.), a wine bar, shop and school, with 120 wines to sample by the ounce or glass.

Eat, drink and carry on at Café Adelaide & the Swizzle Stick Bar,, where you can toast to the good life with a Hey Shug cocktail and a plate of Big Easy bacchanalia.

Return to the early days of the French Quarter at The Note,, a restored landmark turned cocktail lounge and jazz club serving classic drinks and single malt scotches.

Keep the cocktail train moving with a stop at Loa in the International House Hotel for some of the most progressive libations in the city. Try the Lovers’ Quarrel with mescal, damiana, pineapple and bitters. Or head to The Carousel Bar at the Monteleone Hotel to feed your soul on innovative cuisine focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Try the Steak Frites washed down with a Long Story cocktail featuring Old New Orleans rum.

No matter what your style, you’ll find a place to drink in the spirit of NOLA.

HOW TO SOUND LIKE AN ARCHITECTURE EXPERT IN NEW ORLEANS Say you’re strolling through New Orleans, discussing the merits of beignets over donuts with your companions, and there to the left is a stunning example of traditional Southern building design. Rather than risk mistaking a classic American town house for a Creole town house, take a few notes from our architecture primer and demonstrate (or at least fake) your architectural expertise.

creole cottage Where you’ll see it: Bywater, French Quarter, Marigny, Tremé. You’ll recognize the one-and-a-half-story homes by their pitched roofs and front stoops set along the sidewalk.

What you should say: “The design of this home is very similar to cottages built in France around the same time, in the mid-18th and 19th centuries.”

Creole cottage ©Taylor Bell

creole town house Where you’ll see it: Warehouse District/ CBD, French Quarter. With shops below and homes above, these buildings have arched windows and a full third story, distinguishing them from American town houses.

What you should say: “After the great fires of 1788 and 1794 torched most freestanding homes in this area, these brick and stuccoed-brick structures emerged with strong Spanish influences.”

raised center-hall cottage Where you’ll see it: Garden District, Uptown. Keep an eye out for one-and-a-half-story homes with columned porches across the front.

Inside, they have one room on either side of a long center hallway.

What you should say: “You can see from the columned porch that these homes are similar to French Colonial plantations.”

Double gallery house ©Andrew Alwert

double gallery house Shotgun houses ©Preservation Resource Center

shotgun house Where you’ll see it: Throughout the city. These are plentiful and easy to spot — long, narrow single-story homes that range in style, from Victorian to Craftsman.

What you should say: “Shotguns may have gotten their name because, if you open all of the doors, you can shoot a shotgun in the front door and straight out the back. But, of course, the term may have originated from the Yoruba word ‘togun,’ which means ‘place of assembly.’”

TRAVEL THROUGH TIME WITH THIS FREE APP: The Historic New Orleans app determines your location and then shows you early- to mid-20th century photos taken in the same spot. Be sure to check out the app’s cool features, including the augmented reality Guide Me! function.

Learn more at hnoc.org/app.html.

Where you’ll see it: Lower Garden District, Garden District, Uptown or Esplanade Ridge. Telltale elements include stacked and covered front porches, stately box columns and a front door off to one side.

What you should say: “Although they look similar to the town house styles, these homes built in New Orleans’ early suburbs are set back much farther from the sidewalk.”

Take Your Pick!

It’s Saturday night in New Orleans — you’ll be hard-pressed to find a joint that’s not rocking with live music. From Frenchmen Street to Bourbon Street, musicians are gearing up to play some of our world-famous jazz, zydeco, blues and brass music. Check local listings to find where your favorite artist is playing tonight.

HEAR IT HERE: Jazz and big band tunes prevail at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro (snugjazz.com), an intimate two-story venue on Frenchmen Street. Many local performers got their start at The Maple Leaf Bar (mapleleafbar.com) where nightly live music spans blues, funk, R&B, rock, jazz, jam bands and more.

CAJUN & ZYDECO

Congo Square Preservation Society Drum Circle

Centuries ago, slaves gathered in what is now known as Congo Square on Sunday afternoons to make music, dance and sing.

Today, the Congo Square Preservation Society celebrates the rich history of the square with weekly drum circles from 3pm to 5pm.

Venues and performers are subject to change.

Please call in advance to confirm.

Enjoy some of the best live music from New Orleans, even when you’re not in town! We’ve partnered with our friends at WWOZ 90.7 FM, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Station, to create New Orleans All the Way Live, a weekly radio program that features a full hour of live music, vignettes on our culture and info on upcoming events. The show can be heard on dozens of radio stations throughout the country from Nashville to New York, as well as in Puerto Rico and Australia and online anytime at wwoz.org.

TUNE IN

THE SOUNDS: Brass bands infuse European-style military music with funky, African influence. Dixieland combines ragtime and brass marches and Ragtime delivers jingly piano and springy rhythm, while Gypsy Jazz speeds things up with a special form of rhythmic guitar strumming called “la pompe.”

THE INSTRUMENTS: Cajun incorporates fiddles, accordion and triangle (traditional); guitars and keyboard (contemporary); and zydeco showcases the piano, rubboard and drums.

THE SOUNDS: Cajun dance music lends itself to waltzes and two-steps and is commonly heard at festivals and dance halls. Zydeco pulls its folksy tune from rural southwest Louisiana, with lyrics still sung in Louisiana Creole French.

HEAR IT HERE: Head to neighborhood juke joint Tipitina’s (tipitinas.com) to catch regular, locally-loved Cajun and zydeco performances alongside a roster of big-name national acts. Mid City Lanes Rock ‘n Bowl (rocknbowl. com) combines bowling and some of the best zydeco, blues and Cajun names from around the state.

Inside New Orleans Q: YOUR MUSIC CAREER HAS TAKEN YOU AROUND THE WORLD. WHAT KEEPS NEW ORLEANS YOUR HOME BASE?

Q: AS A CHILD GROWING UP IN NEW ORLEANS, WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE ATTRACTIONS TO VISIT IN THE CITY?

A: This is just such an interesting city. There’s so much character, so much love and so much grit in this little place. I can’t imagine calling anywhere else “home.”

And I love warm weather, good music and good food!

A: Audubon Zoo! It is still one of my favorite places in the city.

Q: YOU COME FROM A VERY MUSICALLY TALENTED FAMILY, AND MANY MUSIC LOVERS KNOW YOUR FATHER, JAZZ GUITARIST STEVE MASAKOWSKI. WHAT ADVICE DID HE HAVE FOR YOU WHEN YOU DECIDED TO ENTER THE BUSINESS?

Q: IF YOU WERE PLANNING A NEW ORLEANS ITINERARY FOR A MUSIC-LOVING TRAVELER, WHAT ARE THE TOP THREE SPOTS YOU’D SEND THEM TO AROUND TOWN? A: Mimi’s in the Marigny, Gasa Gasa and the Prime Example.

A: He told me to go home, take two aspirin, reconsider my decision and call him in the morning. No joke.

Q: WHAT ANNUAL NEW ORLEANS EVENTS DO YOU MAKE SURE YOU ATTEND AND WHY?

Q: WHAT SPARKED YOUR INTEREST IN JAZZ AND WHAT KEEPS IT INTERESTING TO YOU?

A: Mardi Gras because it is pure magic, Jazz Fest because of the overwhelming amount of musical talent, and Voodoo Fest because having a music festival on Halloween weekend is absolutely enchanting.

A: To be honest, I started dating a jazz musician in high school. Once I started learning about jazz, I realized I didn’t want to do anything else! It’s such a freeing art form, and I loved that it forced you to create your own voice and develop your own individual style.

Q: WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU PERFORMING IN NEW ORLEANS, AND WHAT SHOULD FIRSTTIMERS EXPECT AT YOUR SHOWS? A: I play every Thursday evening at the Roosevelt Hotel in the Fountain Lounge. I sing a mix of jazz and Brazilian music with a great pianist/vocalist friend of mine, Jenna McSwain. I also run the Progression Music Series on Tuesday nights at Gasa Gasa on Freret Street, where I perform once a month.

Q: BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT ON A TOUR, DO YOU HAVE ANY MUST-EATS AT LOCAL RESTAURANTS? ANY FOODS YOU’VE GOT TO GET YOUR FIX OF BEFORE BEING GONE FOR WEEKS? A: Right now I’m really enjoying all these glorious Vietnamese restaurants in the city, so I love to get my fix of pho and banh-mi at certain places, notably Lilly’s Café on Magazine and Nine Roses on the Westbank.

But, usually, before I leave town, I make sure to have at least one afternoon binging on raw oysters from John Besh’s Lüke. I can’t get enough! I could eat oysters every day.

Q: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR IN THE CITY? WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES THAT TIME SO SPECIAL TO YOU? A: Christmas is one of my favorite times in the city, because I have a huge family down here and I love spending time with them during Christmas. Also, I’ve been living near City Park for several years now, and something about strolling on a crisp winter night and seeing the 100-year-old oak trees lit up with Christmas lights for Celebration in the Oaks is very majestic and heartwarming.

Sasha’s NOLA Favorites FAVORITE MUSEUM: New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) BEST MEAL: A few friends and I coined the term, “Beshhopping.” We hop around to different John Besh restaurants during happy hour. Try Lüke and Domenica.

FAVORITE MUSICIAN: Davell Crawford FAVORITE NEW ORLEANIAN: Marie Laveau DESCRIBE NEW ORLEANS IN ONE WORD: Decadent

A: UAL in the French Quarter is always my first stop.

I’ll pick up a couture dress by some underground LA designer and then head to a local thrift shop (Bloomin' Deals on Freret St. is one of my favorites) to accessorize and find neat garments that I can put together in interesting ways.

PRIDE IN THE CITY

It’s never been a secret that New Orleans welcomes everyone. We embrace diversity, believe there’s never a bad time to wear a costume or throw a party, and encourage everyone in our city to live a life as authentic as our Creole cuisine. For these reasons and more, the city has earned a well-deserved reputation as a haven for equality. It’s even been named one of the world’s best gay cities

by American Airlines and GayCities.

We invite you to come as you are—just don’t come with a plan. Let this city take you wherever she wants you to go. Read on to discover some of the city’s most LGBT-friendly neighborhoods and events.

Explore the thriving LGBT culture in one of the country’s most colorful cities.

Bywater This bohemian, open-minded neighborhood is home to places like The Country Club, a clothing-optional cabana and social club.

Known for its Gulf Coast-inspired fare and events like its “bottomless” mimosa brunch, you can sip cocktails poolside while enjoying the view.

French Quarter Here you’ll find The Café Lafitte in Exile, one of the oldest gay bars in the country. Open since 1953 (and open 24/7), locals and visitors alike can enjoy daily happy hours and a balcony view overlooking Bourbon Street.

Named for a popular local citrus fruit, Satsuma Café serves fresh, regional dishes with an artsy flair. Grab a cup of coffee, a fresh-squeezed juice, or a healthy bite to eat and take in the local artwork on the walls.

Mismatched tables, exposed brick, and a sunny patio add to the charm.

For a warm and welcoming night out on the town head to Good Friends Bar, a favorite local hangout. Grab a drink, play a game of pool with friends, or join in a piano sing-along.

And if you’re feeling up for anything, make your way to Bourbon Pub & Parade, a huge nightclub that’s open 24/7.

FAMILY FUN IN NEW ORLEANS Family fun begins in the Crescent City with kid-friendly adventures that are abundant and diverse, so finding something that everyone will enjoy is easy! Whether you are young or just young at heart, discover family-friendly restaurants, attractions and adventures that the whole crew can enjoy.

EXPLORE Does your family come with big curiosities? Begin your family-style explorations by checking out the four attractions in the French Quarter and Uptown that make up the Audubon Nature Institute. With a zoo, aquarium, IMAX theater and even an Insectarium, the institute allows you to spend time getting up close and personal with bugs, exploring ape exhibits, reptile habitats and underwater worlds. At the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, explore the new Great Maya Reef exhibit to adventure into the submerged Mayan ruins filled with reefs and exotic fish. The kiddos will love getting beak to cheek with some pretty cute parakeets at the aquarium’s Parakeet Pointe, an interactive exhibit where you can feed the birds.

Get the kids outside to be transfixed by the swamp things they encounter on a tour of the area's moss-shrouded waterways.

If you don’t get your gator fix during a swamp tour, then head to Insta-Gator Alligator Ranch & Hatchery.. More than 2,000 gators call it home. Learn about the hatching process and have the opportunity to hold an alligator. Speaking of adventure, head down the Mississippi to give your family a taste of New Orleanian spirit. A giant paddle wheeler cruises you from one of America’s busiest ports to sites such as the Chalmette Battlefield. Disembark and let kids explore the fields where, in 1815, Andrew Jackson’s troops won the Battle of New Orleans.

Inside New Orleans

If music, art and handcrafted treasures are what excite your family, plan a stop by the historic French Market.. As America’s oldest public market, it’s a treat for all the senses and free to explore. Next, stroll through the ever-artsy French Quarter, or stop by the nearby Dutch Alley, home to the Jazz National Historical Park, which offers live music and programs for kids. Keep the creativity flowing with a visit to Jackson Square, and wander the pedestrian mall to watch artists at work. Magicians, mimes and musicians provide free entertainment nearly every day of the week.

Next, stroll through the free Besthoff Sculpture Garden at the New Orleans Museum of Art, home to more than 50 outdoor sculptures. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic of po-boys.

CREATE

Outside of the French Quarter, Magazine Street and Julia Street,, in the Arts District, are also filled with galleries and antiques shops that are sure to appeal to art adventurers. Or let the little ones make their own masterpiece during a family paint session at Corks N Canvas. For a behind-the-scenes peek at the artistic side of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebrations, drop by Mardi Gras World, where your family can learn about what it takes to build all of the colorful floats that fill the streets during carnival. Not only will they get to learn about the traditions behind one of New Orleans’ most famous events, but there are some incredible family photo opportunities in front of floats, with parade props, or wearing traditional costumes.

After a morning in the museum, get some fresh air with a Royal Carriages tour through the French Quarter. Guides of the mule-drawn carriages provide an introduction to the historic neighborhood. Or take a tour with stories, props and stops geared just for kids with French Quartour Kids.

LEARN

A visit to one of the Voodoo museums in New Orleans enchants families with the secrets, mysteries and folktales of old-time New Orleans. Children can have their fortunes read, hear spooky stories of Voodoo queens and learn about gris-gris magic.

Nearby, in the heart of the historic Tremé neighborhood, your family will enjoy the New Orleans African American Museum. The museum is closed while undergoing a $6 million renovation, but tours of Tremé, America’s oldest black urban community, are being offered in the meantime.

For a taste of the city’s nightlife, one of the city’s most beloved cultural landmarks (and a must-visit for music lovers) is Preservation Hall. Opened in 1961, this jazz club is dedicated to preserving the legacy of New Orleans jazz and is open to all ages.

There are performances almost every night of the week starting around 8pm featuring a mix of musical legends and emerging, young talent.

Inside New Orleans

New Orleans is all about playtime. A favorite for fast-paced families, especially competitive types, is Rock ‘n’ Bowl.

See who can roll strikes and who just can’t keep their ball out of the gutter during a friendly game of bowling. If you have time to spare (see what we did there?), check out the alley’s live music. On Wednesday to Saturday evenings, you can hear everything from R&B and rockabilly to zydeco and old standards.

PLAY

Another place for endless fun is at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. Here, your kids can step inside a giant bubble, climb a rock wall, create a sculpture, explore a cargo ship and build a Lincoln Log Cajun cottage (just don’t tell them that they’re learning as they play).

Take some New Orleans flavors back to your kitchen with a lesson from one of the local cooking schools, where adults and kids will learn how to stew up some of New Orleans' favorite Creole and Cajun dishes.

If you want to pack even more fun into your day, head to Adventure Quest Laser Tag,, where the whole family can battle for bragging rights in the multi-level, Mayan-themed laser tag arena, bang around in bumper cars, play a round of cosmic mini-golf or head to the arcade.

For a sightseeing tour that provides a healthy workout, sign the family up for a bicycle tour and pedal past landmarks in the French Quarter or Garden District. Another way to romp around the city is by streetcar. Easy and affordable, streetcars stop at some of New Orleans’ kid-friendliest attractions (think Audubon Zoo, City Park and French Market). Pick up a $3 one-day Jazzy Pass to ride as often as you like.

Adventure in City Park With 1,300 acres of things to see and do, City Park is a one-stop shop for family-friendly attractions the whole crew will enjoy, no matter how different your tastes.

Here are a few favorites:

CITY PUTT

Play a round and have a ball at this 36-hole mini golf complex with two courses. As you putt, you’ll also get a lesson in Louisiana culture. One course highlights destinations around the state, while the other showcases New Orleans’ culture, including jazz history with a large statue of Louis Armstrong.

CAROUSEL GARDENS

Ride the state's last antique carousel or float to the sky on the Ferris wheel. Tons of fun can be had under the oaks of this exciting attraction.

TRAIN GARDEN

Go inside the Botanical Garden to marvel at mini-streetcars and trains, as well as mini buildings made of botanical materials.

STORYLAND

Make Mother Goose proud and interact with 26 vignettes inspired by favorite fairy tales.

Inside New Orleans With casual atmospheres and children’s menus, many New Orleans restaurants are made for fun-loving families. Mulate’s, for example, was expertly designed to be the ultimate kid-friendly restaurant: The owners’ daughters weighed in on foods for the made-from-scratch kids menu. After your meal, show your kids that mom and dad still have a few moves on the dance floor.

Mulate’s presents live Cajun music nightly.

EAT

Café Du Monde is a must-taste serving warm beignets (a French donut), chocolate milk and chicory coffee. Take a picture of the family member who gets the most powdered sugar on them.

Swing by Deanie’s Seafood in the French Quarter for fried shrimp and crawfish tails. Be sure to check out the custom glass sculpture depicting native fish. It’s a centerpiece of the restaurant.

Dare the family to try something new like the boudin balls or gator bites (fried alligator andouille sausage) at the The Crazy Lobster in the Central Business District. This spirited eatery offers great views of the Mississippi River with live entertainment all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

5 Tips for Families on a Budget 1. COMBINATION PASSES: With the Audubon Experience Package you can visit the Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Entergy IMAX Theatre and Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium for one low price. It’s good for up to 30 days, so there’s no need to rush.

2. SKIP PARKING FEES: With a multi-day Jazzy Pass from the Regional Transit Authority, you can get around by streetcar or bus.

3. PLAN A PICNIC: Grab one of the city’s famously over-sized sandwiches, like a muffuletta or po-boy. They’re big enough to share.

4. FREE FUN: Explore the city with Free Tours

by Foot, which offers walking tours and bike tours on a pay-what-you-want system.

Find more free fun in the French Quarter, where dozens of street performers, costumed characters and buskers are ready to entertain.

NOLA Tour Guy is another great bet for free walking tours.

5. SPECIAL DEALS: Check out the coupons in the back of the guide (or online: neworleanscvb.com/visit/ specials-coupons) to find special offers that will help you save on attractions, activities, dining and more.

With its well-preserved collection of antebellum mansions, pristine gardens and Southern charm, the Garden District stands out as one of the country’s loveliest residential areas.

Originally laid out in 1832, this became the neighborhood for nouveau riche Americans, whose homes were built on generous plots that allowed for the magnificent gardens for which the area is named.

HOW TO GET THERE:

From the French Quarter, take a cab to Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, which makes a good starting point for your tour. Walk, bike or take a pedicab or carriage tour through the District, or hop aboard the St. Charles Avenue streetcar for an easy ride past the mansions and monuments.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO: 1 Dine on award-winning food at Commander’s Palace Restaurant.

Beginning upriver of the Garden District, Uptown features beautiful 19th-century homes and a mélange of interesting boutiques and cafés. Once made up of small plantations, the area experienced a building boom in the late 1800s when the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition came to town. The exposition was held at what is today known as Audubon Park.

HOW TO GET THERE:

Have a seat on one of the mahogany benches on the historic St. Charles streetcar and enjoy a peaceful ride from the edge of the French Quarter to Uptown, noting the residential architecture along the way.

STEP ABOARD OUR STREETCARS They are symbols of the city — rumbling relics from New Orleans’ past. Streetcars have been a part of New Orleans’ public transportation since the first half of the 19th century. But in the mid-1900s, buses replaced many of the iconic vehicles. After several decades, our streetcars made a comeback, and now four different lines travel throughout the city, letting you explore for an affordable $1.25 fare (exact change is required). You can also save money by purchasing a Jazzy Pass, which lets you ride the streetcars (and public buses) as much as you’d like during the period it’s active.

THE ST. CHARLES LINE: As the oldest continuously operating streetcar in the world, the St. Charles Streetcar has earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Hop on for a ride from the edge of the French Quarter to the beautiful Garden District. As you ride through the Garden District, see impressive homes, universities and Audubon Park.

THE CANAL STREET LINE: This line spans nearly six miles, beginning at the Mississippi River and running through the Central Business District and into Mid-City, where you’ll find dining and shopping opportunities aplenty. Take this line to get to historic cemeteries and the New Orleans Museum of Art in City Park.

THE RIVERFRONT LINE: Climb aboard the Riverfront Streetcar to visit the French Market, Woldenberg Park, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Canal Place and the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. This line connects the French Quarter to the Warehouse District.

THE LOYOLA LINE: As New Orleans’ newest streetcar line, the Loyola Streetcar Line enables travelers arriving by Greyhound bus or Amtrak train to get to Canal Street, where they can transfer to other streetcars and reach French Quarter and CBD hotels and attractions.

Day Trips from New Orleans

A TALE OF 2 DAY TRIPS We get it. When you plan a trip to New Orleans, it’s easy to set your sights solely on the attractions of the city proper. There are countless gumbos to sample, music venues to visit, historic sites to tour and shops to poke around in. But take our word for it: There are some awesome adventures to be had just a short drive away. Here are two of our favorite ways to go exploring beyond the Big Easy.

time travel in Plantation Country Centuries ago, the land surrounding the Mississippi River just outside of New Orleans proved to be fertile ground for sugarcane. Grand mansions with double galleries and columned facades sprang up on large plantations along the river, and today these homes are evocative icons of Louisiana.

©Madewood

Plantation

You can visit these antebellum mansions via the famous River Road, about a 70-mile stretch between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Spend the day imagining life as a 19th-century Southern belle or sugar baron.

Sip mint juleps and take guided tours with docents dressed in period costumes. Pose for a photo beneath a canopy of old live oak trees and traipse through manicured gardens. Get a lesson in architecture and discover the hallmarks of Creole, Greek Revival and Italianate style. As you tour homes and plantation outbuildings, you’ll also learn about the way of life for those who worked the land. Squeeze in a little shopping during your tour by timing your trip during a plantation festival, such as the arts and crafts festival at San Francisco Plantation (held in the spring).

Day Trips from New Orleans

go deep into our swamps There are few places left where you can explore an untamed wilderness — but it’s still possible in the swamplands about an hour outside of New Orleans. Book a high-speed airboat or take a leisurely group ride aboard a flatboat through murky waters teeming with wildlife. As you float past cypress trees with moss draped like tinsel, you may spy snakes, turtles, fish, wading birds, bald eagles, nutria and wild boars. Be sure to keep your camera handy. You never know when the kings of the swamp may make an appearance.

Alligators could be quietly lurking by your boat without you even knowing it.

Sailing deeper into the bayou’s intricate network of shadowy riverways, you’ll gain an appreciation for the quiet beauty of the swamp. Guides, many of whom grew up in the swamps, not only point out the creatures along the route, but they also impart knowledge about the ecology of the wetlands and the importance of their preservation.

GO FISH:

If you prefer a little more hands-on action than a swamp or plantation tour, may we suggest spending a day fishing for trophies off the Louisiana coast?

You’ll leave New Orleans with a genuine fish tale that needs no exaggeration.

Get your trip off on the right foot by hiring a seasoned charter-boat captain.

Many can be found within an hour drive of New Orleans. They’ll use their fish savvy to take you where the marine life are biting — and they will be, no matter what time of year you visit, thanks to the abundant salt marshes that act as breeding grounds.

During offshore adventures, cast for wahoo or tuna around oil platforms or shrimp trawlers.

Inshore, speckled trout and redfish are prized catches and coveted dinner entrées. Your guide can assist with all the details of your trip, from acquiring fishing licenses to providing lunch and gear.

CALLING ALL CULTURE ADDICTS Beyond the jazz clubs, French Quarter parades and Creole restaurants of New Orleans lies an enviable cultural scene rife with performing and visual art, antiques-filled boutiques and fine film offerings not found at your everyday theaters. What sort of cultural pursuits tickle your fancy?

We’ve got plenty of options for you to choose from.

antiques If you love looking at pieces with provenance or simply want a one-of-a-kind souvenir, then make your way to the dozens of antiques shops throughout the city. The largest ©Miles/Denise Chambe rs concentrations can be found on Royal and Magazine streets, and some of the shops have even been around for more than 100 years. You’ll find museum-quality, Continental furniture; centuries-old paintings; fine silver and jewelry; and unexpected treasures too. Be sure to engage staff members while you browse.

They’ll be happy to share a bit about the history of each piece.

performing arts For fans of opera, ballet and the symphony orchestra, New Orleans has all three. The New Orleans Ballet Association brings preeminent dance companies to the city and pairs renowned choreographers with local jazz ion musicians to create new works. Variety is the Opera Associat ©New Orleans hallmark of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, whose seasonal lineups include everything from classic performances to music from the movies. Opera has been a New Orleans mainstay for centuries, and the New Orleans Opera Association presents quality opera you normally couldn’t see without a passport.

Broadway’s biggest hits have also found their way to the Big Easy. Broadway in New Orleans presents a season of shows at the Saenger Theatre. The Saenger's recent $52 million renovation restores the theater to its 1927 grandeur, while featuring updated amenities and a stage house expansion.

To truly immerse yourself into New Orleans’ diverse arts scene will require multiple trips, no doubt. You may want to start your art adventure at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the city’s oldest fine arts institution. There are more than 40,000 objects in the permanent collection, and its French and American art and glass collections are revered. Other great introductions include browsing the clusters of galleries in the Arts/Warehouse District and on Magazine and Royal streets and spending an afternoon at The Ogden Museum of Southern Art. The Ogden’s collection is considered one of the first to focus solely on the art and culture of the American South.

Rotating exhibits of photography, sculptures and paintings are a staple on the calendar of the Contemporary Arts Center, but this multidisciplinary center also boasts theater, dance, video and music performances. The Creative Alliance of New Orleans works to provide mentoring, training and education to cultural producers from all walks of life. They also offer one-of-a-kind Art Home New Orleans tours, which provide opportunities to view private collections in local residences and visit artist studios and other cultural institutions.

The Truth About Our Floor – A Symbol For Peace

The mosaic tile floor was installed in 1902. The symbol depicted is an

ancient “Symbol For Peace” dating back more than 10,000 years. It can be found in many places around the world such as; the gates of the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids in Egypt, and ancient Aztec Indian sites.

The American Indians also used it. This symbol is sometimes confused with the swastika. It is thought that Hitler took the ancient “Symbol for Peace” and inverted it as an expression of anti-peace. Hitler was actually a teenager when the floor was installed here at Ernst Cafe in 1902.

NEW ORLEANS

where art lives in the most unexpected places

New Orleans is a 24/7 art museum. Our art scene has become one of the most vital and innovative in the nation, from the world class New Orleans Museum of Art to local street vendors at Jackson Square. While New Orleans is home to over 100 galleries, we also have a plethora of museums, antique stores, outdoor markets, specialty shops and more. But the creativity doesn’t stop there. Art can be found in every note of jazz and every bite of gumbo. Whatever your passion is, we are ready to paint it, play it, serve it.
