FREE WAYS TO PLAY

When you take a New Orleans vacation, it’s possible to have a good time without breaking the bank. And the memories made during it all? Well, those will be priceless!

Walk Along the Waterfront

See the Homes of St. Charles Avenue

The Historic New Orleans Collection’s museum complex is devoted to telling the story of New Orleans. View its assemblage of French Quarter homes and their hidden, intimate courtyards via a free self-guided audio tour app, available via iPod and mobile download.

Walk up the levee across the street from Jackson Square and you’ll find yourself at Woldenberg Park, a lushly landscaped open space overlooking the Mississippi River. It’s an ideal spot for a picnic or an easygoing stroll along the riverside.

Celebrate Jazz Greats at Armstrong Park

Stop By The Fly

Some of the biggest names in New Orleans jazz and zydeco are regular guests at Jazz in the Park, a free concert series held every spring and fall. See the likes of Kermit Ruffins and Rockin’ Dopsie at these Thursday night parties, which kick off with a second-line parade and feature loads of local art.

The Fly is a complex of soccer and baseball fields, bike paths and picnic areas on the riverbank, where spectacular sunsets are just an everyday thing. Younger visitors will love the playground, and grown-ups will have no problem finding a spot to fire up the barbecue grill. Find The Fly at Audubon Park, a massive greenspace, zoo and golf course located just upriver from the Garden District.

Time Travel Through New Orleans History

New Orleans’ Lower Garden District is where you’ll find old Victorian and Greek Renaissance ©Miles/Denise Chambe rs homes tucked behind canopies of Spanish moss-draped oak trees. Take the St. Charles Avenue streetcar up the boulevard, hop off around Jackson or Washington avenues and walk towards Prytania to tour the streets of old New Orleans’ rich and famous.

Hear Music Played Where Money Was Made

You can bank on a good time at Music at the Mint, a free concert series held at the Old U.S. Mint. The shows are a blend of old- and new-school jazz, folk and rock, and the Mint is a collection of exhibits, with galleries featuring historical instruments (including Louis Armstrong’s trumpet), Mardi Gras artifacts and money-making machines used 150 years ago.

Take a Two-Wheeled Trip

Right across the Mississippi River from Jackson Square is Algiers, a historical community that is a world away from the bustle of the French Quarter, where you can bike along a new paved trail along the top of the levee. Other prominent bike trails include Lakeshore Drive, which skirts Lake Pontchartrain, and the recently completed Crescent Park in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhoods.

Get a Sweet Treat at Aunt Sally’s

Aunt Sally’s Pralines are New Orleans confections full of rich, buttery pecans. They’re the perfect follow-up to a tasty Creole dinner. Visit Aunt Sally’s in the French Market or the Arts/Warehouse District to see pralines being made and try a free sample.

CHEF WE LOVE:

NINA COMPTON The Top Chef contestant, who recently opened restaurant Compére Lapin, dishes on her New Orleans favorites. You were raised in the Caribbean, went to culinary school in New York and recently moved to New Orleans from Miami. What drew you here? A lot about New Orleans reminds me of St. Lucia, where I grew up. It’s a small city, people are very pleasant. I’ve never had an experience where I was walking down the street and people didn’t say hi. There’s an energy about this city. You feel like you’re in Europe when you’re driving around the Garden District. You feel comfortable right away, and you don’t have to put up a front — people judge you for who you are, not what you have. And I’ve never seen a city where there are so many food festivals and music festivals. People here are all about living life.

And you had never been to New Orleans prior to your appearance on season 11 of Top Chef, right? Right… I hadn’t. When the show was being filmed here, I knew I wanted to come back. The thing about this city is there’s so much charm to it. There are many restaurants that are very approachable. Coming from Miami, where everything is brand new, big and flashy, the restaurants are just over the top. Here, it’s a little more relaxed. You can show up in jeans, unwind and still have a good meal.

Your restaurant, Compére Lapin, opened at The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery last June. How would you describe the cuisine? People expect it to be a Caribbean restaurant because that’s where I’m from, but basically, I took all my influences and training and put it in the menu. It’s got Caribbean, French and Italian flavors — a bit of a mashup. The menu’s fun, playful, approachable, not stuffy. I want people to come and get wine and share food.

Here, it's a little more relaxed. You can show up in jeans, unwind and still have a good meal

If you had visitors coming into town for a day, what are a few things you’d recommend they do?

Since you moved to town recently, what’s been your first impression of New Orleans’ restaurant scene?

It would definitely be focused around food. I’d say get beignets. Have breakfast, stroll around the French Quarter very early — it’s best to walk around there in the early morning. Then, maybe, take a streetcar to the Garden District and Uptown. That’s the best way to get around the city. Even if you get lost, there’s a streetcar nearby. Audubon Park is great. We actually played volleyball with Donald Link [owner of Cochon, Pêche and Herbsaint, among others] at a party there once.

I’ve never had bad meal here. Everything is so good! I definitely enjoy going to Shaya. Booty’s in the Bywater is also good for quick bite, and also, Oxalis across the street. Emeril’s is a classic. Balise and Johnny Sánchez are really good. Gene’s Poboys is a place to stop after a late night out. There are just so many. Patois is great, Coquette…. I could be talking about restaurants for hours.

-------------- Culture-------------For a great introduction to the LGBT lifestyle in NOLA take a Twirl with Glenn De Villier, New Orleans historian and writer. This gay history tour from a local perspective, full of humor and Southern graciousness, highlights the sometimes-intangible charms of the “Queen City of the South.” For something less structured visit the newest addition to the local arts scene: the St. Claude Arts District. The galleries here have become one of America’s largest and most cohesive alternative-arts district thanks to an inspired community and the contemporary art biennial Prospect New Orleans.

New Orleans has long been a Southern oasis to the LGBT community. As one of Travel + Leisure’s Top 5 GayFriendly Cities and OutTraveler’s Favorite Places of 2014, New Orleans aims to set a welcoming, inclusive example. The charming culture, perpetual romance and treasure trove of hidden gems and secrets have contributed to a thriving LGBTfriendly mecca in Louisiana: New Orleans. Take a trip. We promise you’ll fall in love one way or another. PHOTOS: ©New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation

Historically described as “an acre of seats in a garden of Florentine splendor,” the restored Saenger Theatre plays host to all kinds of events like Broadway shows, concerts, and comedians. A little more off the beaten path is Café Istanbul, a performance hall beloved by local artists.

-------------- Romance -------------Love is in the air! New Orleans is well-known as a top destination for romance. Now that marriage rights have been fully extended to all LGBT citizens, there's even more reason to celebrate and explore. Let the passion and enchantment of our beloved city set the mood for your own love story.

Inside New Orleans

Everyone knows NOLA knows how to throw a party. Take a look at the good times coming up.

-------------- Where to Stay-------------The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery has undergone a transformation to create one of the most exciting and best new hotels in New Orleans. Signature amenities include pillow, spiritual and pet menus.

-------------- Explore-------------Some of the most exciting discoveries for first-timers and locals alike are French Quarter courtyards. Often out of plain site, these half-hidden jewels are seductive and offer an alluring, more intimate escape from the busy downtown streets. You can dine in one when you visit Feelings Cafe, Cafe Amelie or Sylvain, three of our most enchanting New Orleans restaurants. From there, get lost wandering around some of the quieter areas like Barracks and Governor Nicholls streets or go antique shopping along Royal Street. For a perfect date in NOLA, start with brunch at Elizabeth's then cross over to Crescent Park for an amazing view of New Orleans. Keep making your way along the Mississippi River past the Steamboat Natchez and peruse the outlet shops along the Riverwalk. For a more personalized shopping experience, visit Fraques NOLA Outfitter in the Central Business District. Afterwards, head to the award-winning Shaya for an unforgettable dining experience.

ARCHITECTURAL SCAVENGER HUNT Put on your thinking cap, grab your magnifying glass and let loose your inner Sherlock, because the scavenger hunt for New Orleans’ famous historic buildings is on. Clue-less about the difference between these architectural wonders? Then read on to unlock these mysteries and more. CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for cottages with high and steep front-facing gable roofs, occasionally with wide front porches, brick chimneys and (often) wooden storm shutters.

Greek Revival House CLUES YOU CAN USE: The front porch columns are a dead giveaway, as ©Nottoway Plantation are parapets (a short wall running the length of the roof) and square wooden details above the windows. X MARKS THE SPOT: Visit the plantation museums along River Road to see opulent Greek Revival houses, including Houmas House and Nottoway plantations. Closer to town, find fine examples of Greek Revival structures at the George & Leah McKenna Museum of African-American Art.

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 experiences that the whole crew can enjoy.

EXPLORE Begin your expedition by checking out the four attractions in the French Quarter and Uptown that make up the Audubon Nature Institute. With a zoo, aquarium, giant screen theater and even an insectarium, the institute allows you to get friendly with bugs, exploring ape exhibits, reptile habitats and underwater worlds. Explore the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas’ underwater Great Maya Reef exhibit, and get beak to cheek with some sweet birds at the aquarium’s Parakeet Pointe. Visit the Audubon Zoo to test your agility at the new four-story-high ropes course known as Kamba Kourse, and then cool off in an inner tube while floating down the lazy river attraction known as Gator Run. Join one of City Sightseeing New Orleans’ Hop-on, Hop-off tours for a second-story view of the Big Easy’s most famous neighborhoods. Their open-air double decker buses pick up and drop off visitors every half hour at prime attractions throughout the French Quarter and Garden District. Families on the go can select from bikes, trikes or four-wheeled pedal-powered surreys from Wheel Fun Rentals. It’s a great way to see the sights while getting a workout. Embark on an unforgettable swamp tour — one of the best ways to see Louisiana’s wildlife up close. If you don’t get your gator fix while touring the moss-shrouded waterways, head to Insta-Gator Alligator Ranch & Hatchery to get an opportunity to hold one.

CREATE

If music, art and handcrafted treasures are what excite your family, plan a stop by the historic French Market, a treat for the senses that also hosts a free monthly concert series featuring children's music.

Stroll through the ever-artsy French Quarter, or stop by nearby Dutch Alley, home to the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, where you’ll find 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. 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 the floats that roll during Carnival season. Take a photo in front of floats, with parade props, or wearing traditional carnival costumes.

Get some fresh air with a Royal Carriages mule-drawn carriage tour through the French Quarter. Or take a tour with stories, props and stops geared just for kids with French Quartour Kids, whose new teen tour takes kids on a historic New Orleans journey, seen through the eyes of a 19th-century teenager.

LEARN

Aunt Sally’s Pralines has been satisfying sweet tooths since 1935. Watch pralines being made at Aunt Sally's Warehouse District location and pick up a package of the buttery confections on your way out. Still have a hunger for history? Then head over to the Louisiana State Museum's Cabildo, Presbytere and 1850 House, located in the heart of Jackson Square, to learn many of the state’s fascinating, true tales. Longue Vue House & Gardens, built in the 1930s, offers visitors an inside peek at how wealthy New Orleans philanthropists lived decades ago, and is also a world-class botanical garden. LPBF New Canal Lighthouse is a real working lighthouse and museum where children and adults can learn fascinating facts about Louisiana’s ecology. Round out your learning adventure by driving to one of the many plantations that are open to the public. On your plantation tour, you’ll see and hear about Louisiana history right where it was made.

PLAY

A favorite for fast-paced families is Mid City Lanes 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.

Another place for endless fun is at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. Here, kids can step inside a giant bubble or explore a cargo ship — it's an exciting way for children to learn while they play! New Orleans City Park is home to its very own amusement park, Carousel Gardens, where children can hop aboard more than a dozen rides including bumper cars, a Tilt-A-Whirl, Ferris wheel and an antique hand-carved carousel. To get the adrenaline pumping, try a new high-flying watersport that combines jet skiing and snowboarding at NOLA Flyboarding, or try reaching new heights at Slidell Rocks Climbing Gym. For a relaxed ride through New Orleans history, hop aboard one of the city’s fabled streetcars. Easy and affordable, these stop at some of the Big Easy’s kid-friendliest attractions such as the Audubon Zoo and the French Market. Pick up a $3 one-day Jazzy Pass and ride as often as you like.

After your meal, get dancing: Mulate’s presents live Cajun music nightly, and the dance floor does fill up.

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, Central Grocery for their tasty muffulettas, Mother’s Restaurant for their special debris po-boy, or Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for their Cajun shrimp. Dare the family to try something new like the boudin balls or gator bites at the The Crazy Lobster in the Central Business District. This spirited eatery offers great views of the Mississippi River with live entertainment nightly, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

WAYS TO DAY-TRIP 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 some of our favorite ways to go exploring beyond the Big Easy.

Tour the Plantations of River Road South of New Orleans is a 70-mile long stretch of highway known as River Road. There, nestled up against the Mississippi River, you’ll find more than a dozen grand old plantation homes that recall south Louisiana’s history as an agricultural powerhouse. This is old Louisiana architecture at its most scenic.

Lucky for visitors, many plantations are open to the public. Here’s what is unique about each of them: u Destrehan Plantation is the closest plantation to New Orleans and oldest in the lower Mississippi Valley. u Houmas House Plantation & Gardens is where you’ll find no fewer than four outstanding restaurants and a massive wine cellar housed in converted historic water cisterns. u Laura Plantation tours take visitors into the lives of the Creoles who lived there, whose stories are based on the diaries of former resident Laura Locoul. u Nottoway Plantation is remarkable for its sheer size. With 64 rooms, it easily claims the distinction of being the South’s largest antebellum mansion. u Oak Alley Plantation welcomed its five millionth visitor in 2014, making it the most-visited plantation home of them all.

Houmas House Plantation & Gardens ©Miles/Denise Chambers

u Ormond Plantation is a former indigo plantation and bed-and-breakfast on Louisiana's German Coast. u San Francisco Plantation stands out for its gingerbread house style architectural details and elaborate hand-painted ceilings. u St. Joseph Plantation has been owned by the same family since the 1870s, and many of its descendants today lead tours of the property. u Whitney Plantation is the only plantation museum devoted to telling the history of slavery in America.

Big Fun on the Bayous Explore south Louisiana’s swampy backcountry located just an hour outside of New Orleans. From high-speed airboat tours to gentle flatboat excursions, a variety of swamp tours are available. You might see one of our exotic critters such as nutria, bald eagles and wild boars. And you never know when the king of the swamp — the alligator — may be lurking nearby. Get a bird’s eye view of the lush wetlands with Southern Seaplanes/Air Tours on the Bayou, which offers air tours of Barataria Bay and beyond.

For a bigger bite of the action, visit Insta-Gator Alligator Ranch & Hatchery. Here, you’ll see literally thousands of ’gators, and can even hold one for an awesome photo opportunity. At Bayou Barn, located about a half hour drive south of New Orleans, you can get a feel of authentic Cajun culture at a boot-stompin' fais do-do, held every Sunday. These weekly get-togethers are Cajun dance parties, where families and friends get together to dance and, as they say down here, "pass a good time." Hear zydeco and Cajun music while eating some of the best food south Louisiana has to offer.

Tasty Trips Near New Orleans Because of the distinct culinary traditions and mouthwatering dishes that come from New Orleans, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of spots to find culinary adventures. Head down to Louisiana’s Cajun country for a tour of McIlhenny Company’s TABASCO® pepper sauce factory on Avery Island, and dine at the hot sauce maker's new in-house restaurant, 1868. Or, if you like the idea of catching your dinner, hire one of Louisiana’s many charter fishing boats, whose captains can take you to where the fish are biting, no matter the time of year.

Louisiana’s Northshore, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, is also a sure bet for fishing adventures on the inland bayous. It’s also home to some great restaurants. To satisfy your hunger for seafood and the outdoors, try Palmettos on the Bayou. With an outside dining area surrounded by old Louisiana forests and Bayou Bonfouca, you’re sure to find an abundance of local flavor here.

GO FOR A WILD RIDE

Fuel your need for speed at NOLA Motorsports Park, a recreational racetrack located 20 miles from New Orleans. It’s a hidden gem with a reputation that’s been bolstered by Louisiana’s first-ever Indy Grand Prix, held at the racetrack in April 2015. Go for a spin in a go-kart and watch the speedometer climb up to 50 miles per hour. Or heck, bring your own ride; NOLA Motorsports Park allows visitors to bring their personal cars or motorcycles onto the course on select days. Visit nolamotor.com for more details.

With so many cultural influences, it’s no wonder that New Orleans is home to a thriving arts scene. From fine art to folk art, discover why the Crescent City is a crossroads for creativity.

MUSEUMS For an artistic journey around the world, head to the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Besthoff Sculpture Garden

Performing arts With performances in New Orleans dating back more than 200 years, opera is a long-established tradition in the Crescent City. In fact, the first opera house in the U.S. was located in the French Quarter. Experience this art form for yourself at a performance by the New Orleans Opera Association, the premier presenting organization for opera in the Gulf South. If you’re looking for performances with a local flair, catch a show at the Marigny Opera House. This “non-denominational, neighborhood church of the arts” supports the work of local performing artists, such as the Marigny Opera Ballet. See works from New Orleans-based choreographers and composers in this historical setting. Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra

To get a taste of Manhattan without leaving Downtown, just head to the Saenger Theatre for the Broadway in New Orleans theatre series. Tony Award-winning shows, old favorites and newer fare are all on the playbill.

And if classical music is your thing, look no further than the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, the oldest full-time musician-governed and collaboratively operated orchestra in the United States. The orchestra offers more than 120 performances over its 36-week season, with family-friendly concerts across New Orleans.

Le Monde Creole

Insider's Tip

After the Louisiana Purchase, tensions arose between Creoles living in the French Quarter and Americans living in the Central Business District. Canal Street acted as a “neutral ground” where business could be done without invading the other’s territory. From that point on, all medians in New Orleans were called neutral grounds.

Step Aboard Streetcars (no, they’re not trolleys) have been a part of New Orleans’ public transportation since the first half of the 19th century. In fact, you can thank the streetcar for the creation of our most celebrated sandwich, the poboy. Bennie and Clovis Martin are credited with first serving the sandwiches to striking streetcar motormen and conductors in 1929. In the mid1900s, buses replaced many of the iconic vehicles, but after several decades our streetcars made a comeback. Now four different lines travel throughout the city, letting you explore for an affordable $1.25 (exact change required). St. Charles Avenue Streetcar ©Miles/Denise Chambers

Insider's Tip 136

Sometimes called a "French donut," these decadent treats were brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. A beignet is a square piece of dough that, upon being deep fried, forms a slightly doughy yet slightly crispy pillow and is covered with powdered sugar. There are other savory versions, with fillings such as crawfish or shrimp also seen on New Orleans menus.
