TRAVEL GUIDE: NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
WHERE TO DRINK/HAPPY HOUR/NIGHT OUT
Bourbon Street
Frenchman Street / we preferred Frenchman over Bourbon btw! Has a bit of an older crowd (think late 20s and up) and feels less like a tourist trap.
The Columns Hotel Restaurant & Bar
THINGS TO DO
Ghost Tour - the ghost tour was definitely one of our favorite parts of the trip. We booked through NOLA Ghostriders and had the best time. Expect the unexpected and try to go later in the day when it’s dark and extra spooky.
Frenchman Street - my personal favorite New Orleans experience. It’s a bit more removed from the touristy areas of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. Frenchman Street is filled with live music, bars, restaurants art galleries, and nightclubs. A popular local spot!
Bourbon Street - although, this is known as a tourist trap to the locals, it’s still a must-see. We walked down it a couple of times and found ourselves some balconies to throw beads and experience NOLA high up. We did prefer Frenchman Street over Bourbon Street!
WHERE TO STAY
We stayed at Q&C Hotel & Bar. It’s part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection and it was chef’s kiss. We were able to walk to Bourbon Street and many other places and we were just a short Uber/Lyft ride to other hot spots. You can view rooms and book a stay here.
