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

©Mark Goebel

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

©Paul Broussard

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.

Catch a Night of Opera on Bourbon Street

Twice a month, crowds gather in the Puccini Bar at the Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter hotel, where they’re treated to an hour of operatic excellence. The trio Bon Operatit! has been singing opera classics for years, and the performers are sounding better than ever.

Time Travel Through New Orleans History

See the Homes of the Garden District

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 on iTunes.

New Orleans’ Lower Garden District is where you’ll find historic Greek Renaissance homes tucked behind canopies ©Miles/Denise Chambe rs 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 cornet) and money-making machines used 150 years ago.

Browse Local Crafts at Frenchmen Art Market

5 Walking

New Orleans’ thriving art scene is on full display at the outdoor Frenchmen Art Market, held on the world famous live music strip known as Frenchmen Street. You’ll see one-of-a-kind New Orleans-centric artworks, jewelry, paintings and clothing that showcase some of the city’s best local talent.

Take a Two-Wheeled Trip

Ride the ferry across the Mississippi River to Algiers Point, a laid back, historical community 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, Crescent Park in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhoods and the newly opened Lafitte Greenway in Mid-City.

Tours to Try Download the free GO NOLA app for five celebrity-guided, set-yourown-pace walking tours of New Orleans. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find:

A WALK ALONG THE RIVER Your celebrity guide: John Goodman Length: 1.5 miles Meet the Mississippi River, a.k.a. “Big Muddy,” and see the sights along her bank, including Spanish Plaza — where Rex, the King of Carnival, proclaims the official start of the celebration. A perfect walk for families.

Learn About the Legacy of Madame John

When a fire engulfed the French Quarter in 1794, few of its wooden buildings were spared. The house known as Madame John’s Legacy is among the lucky few. Tour this Creole home for free, and catch a glimpse of what New Orleans life was like over 200 years ago.

BLUES You can hear the wailing, driving sounds of the Mississippi Delta every night of the week in the Crescent City. HEAR IT HERE: The House of Blues, The Spotted Cat Music Club and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (in April).

Inside New Orleans

You’re the executive chef at Italian restaurants Domenica and Pizza Domenica, and you recently won the James Beard Foundation’s Best New Restaurant in America award for your latest venture, Shaya. How do you find time to be everywhere at once? I try to be at all three during the week, but Shaya is where I spend the majority of my time. When I am there, I’m usually tasting wine, trying new items, making pita bread during service—I love our pita bread oven.

Tell us a little about your early cooking experiences. Some of my earliest memories of falling in love with food were from cooking with my grandmother when I was 7 years old. We spent four years living in Israel, where I was experiencing food that was different from when we came to America. Cooking was always something I loved to do, and the only thing I was really great at.

You worked in Italian restaurants in Las Vegas and St. Louis before moving to New Orleans to help open Besh Steak [at Harrah’s Casino] in 2003. What were your first impressions of the city? I’d always had a love affair with New Orleans cuisine, even though I’d never been here before moving. I grew up watching chefs Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse on TV, and when the opportunity to move down here came, I didn’t hesitate. I love everything about the culture down here. Definitely the food, the music and the weather. The feeling of soul that the city has. The unpredictability of the city. I’m just head over heels about New Orleans.

Is there a particular dish at Domenica that receives the most praise? The whole roasted cauliflower with whipped goat cheese is definitely the most popular item on Domenica’s menu. We sell about 700 heads of cauliflower a week. It’s out of control. When I traveled to Israel after opening Domenica, I was so inspired that I came back cooking Israeli food again. I started introducing that stuff at Domenica little by little, and since we didn’t want to turn the Italian restaurant into an Israeli restaurant, I opened Shaya.

Do you source your ingredients from any local markets where visitors can shop? We get most everything locally. Crescent City Farmer’s Market is going on four times a week. In the Warehouse District on Saturdays, Uptown on Tuesdays, at the French Market on Wednesdays and in Midcity on Thursday afternoons. You can go to the market and get breakfast. My wife and I go there for the carrot and watermelon juice. They have good local produce every day of the week.

What are some New Orleans restaurants, other than your own, that you’d recommend visitors check out? There are several. Visitors should explore the Vietnamese cuisine we have. Lilly’s Café on Magazine Street is the place to do that. It’s right in middle of everything. As far as the newcomers in town, Nina Compton does amazing food at Compère Lapin. The fried chicken at Emeril’s is some of the best I’ve ever had. And if you want to take an excursion, Mosca’s out on the Westbank is great for old school Italian. You can play the jukebox there and eat a really good meal.

Inside New Orleans

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. Clueless 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.

creole cottage

Creole cottage ©Taylor Bell

X MARKS THE SPOT: Dine inside an authentic Creole Cottage at the upscale restaurant Bayona or kick back with a drink at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, a Bourbon Street institution built in 1732.

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.

creole townhouse CLUES YOU CAN USE: These two- and three-story brick buildings with wrought iron-skirted balconies and hidden courtyards are among New Orleans’ most famous architectural marvels. X MARKS THE SPOT: You’ll find many favorite local restaurants and shops inside Creole townhouses. These include Creole restaurant Pere Antoine and gift stores Razzle Dazzle and Forever New Orleans. In Jackson Square, look for the iconic Pontalba Buildings, which contain the 1850 House museum and Café Pontalba.

Inside New Orleans

raised center-hall cottage CLUES YOU CAN USE: These one-and-a-half storied cottages bear a strong resemblance to old plantation homes, featuring columns spanning across a front porch that runs the length of the house. They are raised two to eight feet above the ground on brick piers, and the front door is centered at the top of the front steps. X MARKS THE SPOT: Tour the Beauregard-Keyes House museum in the French Quarter or stay at Ashton’s Bed and Breakfast to see raised center-hall cottages up close. For a tour of other architectural wonders, stop by The Historic New Orleans Collection (hnoc.org) to inquire about their historical tours of the Quarter.

©Beauregard-Keyes House

double gallery house CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for two-story homes set back from their property lines, with upstairs balconies and asymmetrical façades. X MARKS THE SPOT: Esplanade Ridge has fine examples of these, such as the bed-and-breakfast Degas House and African American history museum Le Musée de f.p.c. In the Garden District, look for Fairchild House Bed and Breakfast and Terrell House.

Shotgun houses ©Mary Fitzpatrick, Preservation Resource Center

CLUES YOU CAN USE: These familiar wood-framed row houses are often divided into two narrow, rectangular apartments that abut the sidewalk. Typically, shotguns lack a front yard.

Shotgun

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, explore 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 Hop-On Hop-Off's tours for a second-story view of New Orleans' 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, located in City Park. 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. Whether by airboat, kayak or canoe, you're sure to get your gator fix while touring the Spanish mossshrouded waterways.

Inside New Orleans If music, art and handcrafted treasures 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 historical New Orleans journey, seen through the eyes of a 19th-century teenager.

LEARN

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 offers visitors an inside peek at how wealthy New Orleans philanthropists lived decades ago. LPBF New Canal Lighthouse is a real working lighthouse and museum where children and adults can learn fascinating facts about Louisiana’s ecology. The National WWII Museum's new Road to Tokyo exhibit is an awe-inspiring peek into Pacific battles the Allies faced.

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 also some awesome adventures to be had just a short drive away. Here are some of our favorite ways to go exploring beyond New Orleans.

Tour the Plantations of River Road West 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.

©Whitney Plantation

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.

Sunset ©Oak Alley Plantation

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 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 ©Insta-Gator Alligator Ranch & Hatchery Alligator Ranch & Hatchery. Here, you’ll see hundreds of ’gators, and can even hold one for an awesome photo opportunity. Want to catch your own supper? Bourgeois Fishing Charters and Griffin Fishing Charters & Lodging will help you get a grill-worthy redfish or two on the line. 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. Its reputation has been bolstered by Louisiana’s first-ever Indy Grand Prix, held at the racetrack in 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 (no trucks, SUVs or minivans allowed).

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 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.

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.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION New Orleans has a modern network of highways and roads. Parking, however, is at a premium, particularly in the French Quarter. Taxis and public transportation can take you to points not within walking distance.

TAXIS Rates are $3.50 plus $2 per mile (or 30¢ per 1/8 mile) thereafter. During peak visitor times or special events, taxi rates may increase but will be posted. A fixed rate of $36 (two people) is charged from the airport to most areas of New Orleans; for parties of more than two, the fare is $15 per person. RATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BUS Bus routes extend to almost every corner of the city, and the fare is $1.25 (plus 25¢ per transfer). Express buses cost $1.50.
