The 48 best pet-friendly places and activities in New Orleans

food was absolutely delectable! the shrimp and grits were packed with so much flavor, this is a must try for sure. the ricotta and peach was also very tasty, with the spicy cheese and fresh peaches. the potatoes were okay, nothing crazy. service was slow and food took quite a while. the decor is super cute and overall would recommend!

The main reason I came to NOLA this year with my friends was to eat at Cafe Amelie. I must do it each time I visit. When I first visited the establishment years and years ago, I fell in love with the courtyard and the vibe it provided... Especially with the fountain. To my surprise, the restaurant moved and no longer has the beautiful courtyard. However they do have a cute little outdoor area in the back. But it's not the same :/ I hope they re-form in the previous location. Food was great. As always.

This was SOOOO good. I mean we knew going into it it was going to be that way bc they were PACKED on Sunday night. Had the chicken breast entree and it was perfect and they’re reputable for it and for right reasons! Also the spinach artichoke dip was good for appetizer. I missed entree pic and mocktail but mocktail was great too and not like sugary but tasted great.

I’d been wanting to try Café Amelie for a while, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The food and service were fantastic from start to finish. The courtyard was beautifully decorated for Halloween, and all the staff were in full clown makeup—it added such a fun, festive touch without taking away from the great dining experience. Food and drinks were both on point. The house special blackberry whiskey cocktail was a standout. The beet salad and BLT were excellent, and the pork sandwich—the cochon—was absolutely loaded with tender, flavorful pork. Perfect mix of charm, creativity, and great food. Definitely worth the wait!

I am still sitting in the restaurant and had to leave a review! The food here is SO GOOD! I wanted some real shrimp and grits as we can’t get it in northern Indiana. It was delicious! And my husband had the chicken, which he loved, and an affogato, which you can’t get many places. The cafe is adorable and the staff is super nice. Highly recommend!

Didn’t have a reservation but got seated right away. Cozy atmosphere and stylish, with wait staff very helpful. Tastes were out of this world wonderful.

I came from New York to celebrate my birthday here in NOLA I chose Cafe Amelie for my birthday dinner and it was great , it passed my expectations. Staff were very attentive at all times, food tastes so delicious. Our water was Alex( I believe that is how you spell it older lady with glasses) but she was super amazing, so kind she really ended my day beautifully teaching me about the beautiful culture here in New Orleans.

We enjoyed our dining experience at Herbsaint, but fair warning—it’s noisy. If you can block out the noise and focus on the food, it’s worth it. The food is truly delicious. I ordered the special: halibut with sautéed cherry tomatoes and okra. The fish was seared crispy on the outside, though my first serving was overcooked. They immediately made it right with a complimentary bowl of gazpacho soup islanded around the most delicious crab salad. The second plate of halibut was perfection and came with a sincere apology. My husband ordered the duck and the alligator bites, which were tender, flavorful, and gone in seconds. We also tried the gumbo and the fried green tomatoes—both classic Southern staples elevated to a whole new level. The gumbo had that slow-cooked depth of flavor you crave, and the fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp with just the right tang. One tip: Herbsaint is definitely a date-night spot, not the place to bring babies or little kids.

This place was incredible. One of the best meals I’ve had in while!! Our servers Skip and Chris were lovely to talk to and we went with their recommendations for everything we ate - we loved every bite. I want to try more of the menu, I’m sure it’s all just as good! You have to get the watermelon gazpacho and the gem lettuce!

Herbsaint: A Must-Visit in New Orleans! One of the most delicious meals I’ve had in New Orleans hands down! Everything, and I mean everything, was absolutely incredible. From the craft cocktails to the perfectly cooked steak and dessert, every bite was bursting with flavor and made with care. The service was immaculate, attentive without being overbearing, and the entire team made us feel so welcomed. The ambience was warm, lively, and inviting the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer. If you’re in New Orleans, Herbsaint is a 10/10 experience that truly captures the city’s culinary soul. Highly recommend! 🍸🥩🍰✨

Phenomenal menu, excellent service, well-crafted cocktails, and a decent atmosphere for the best dinner in New Orleans.

Make a reservation, it's worth it. Muscovy Roasted duck leg: delicate, moist, great flavor with an orange sauce on a bed of rice. Fell right the bone Wagu bavette: med rare, more rare. Only 6 slices but perfectly cooked. Served with fries that were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Dessert: banana brown butter tart ala mode. Wonderful! We had the bartender make us non-alcoholic drinks they have a house pomegranate drink with trying. We had the best service. The kitchen was backed up and we were offered free drinks and comped our dessert. It was a bit crowded so be prepared to be close to other guests.

We went for a 60th birthday celebration. The food was incredible and the service was incredible too. We had the crudo, the short ribs and the duck. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake and the Mont Blanc. Every bite was absolutely delicious. Even the signature mocktail was so tasty. I highly recommend.

Solo traveler here. Sat at the bar and had an amazing meal. Started with a sauteed oyster mushroom dish that was killer paired with my delicious old fashioned. I also had the spaghetti which was amazing! Bravo to these lovely flavors. Service was great as well, very busy place would reccommend a reservation.

This was our first stop in NOLA because it was late and they were open later than most spots. I love that they had vegan options. I had the vegan banger which was good. Etouffe fries were not what I expected. A little crispier than we would’ve liked (and I actually like my fries crispy) My kids eat basic so the lil beefy was a basic hotdog perfect for them. My teenager liked her grilled chicken sandwich. My hubby liked his cheesy bacon ranch fries and rougarou and the local beer jucifer. My mom and youngest daughter said the shrimp was fried too hard so she didn’t eat her poboy. Great service from the guys working there. My family of 6 ate for about $20 a person.

We got the Chicago dog and the flying pig. Both were great! I thought the fries were way too crispy and oily but the partner liked them. Atmosphere is pretty cool. A few booths and a bar to sit at with lots of alcohol options. The staff is kind of just hanging around, in the way sometimes. But quick to clean up and/ or serve you.

Went here tonight after finally arriving for our honeymoon. Food was AWESOME!! I got the etoufee dog and my husband got the son of a saint dog which a portion of proceeds goes to the children’s hospital! So delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful! Definitely recommend making the stop here.

One hour wait for 2 hotdogs! I mean, the hotdogs are great, but... one hour wait? Go to the upstairs bar. Much quicker service.

The hot dog was tasty and perfectly fresh made. It lasts a bit long and the inner side is not as funny created than the windows. Also it was the first time in this franchise zo I can not compare it, but all of us we enjoy the dog.

Lively, loud music, happy and friendly staff. The best brat I have ever had, hands down! Plenty of variety. SO GOOD!! Highly recommended.

It's always one of the best places to eat in the city. Plus, it's on frenchmen street. It's just the coolest spot. I took my girlfriend there for her first time yesterday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The only slight letdown was when I asked if they had all the makings for a Paloma, and she told me no, but upon looking, they did or least a bastardized one. Grapefruit juice works just fine. Will always be back there though.

We visited Café Du Monde at the iconic Jackson Square location, having read all the positive reviews about their beignets. Location & Food (3/5 Stars): The location is unbeatable—right next to Jackson Square. The beignets were, as advertised, very good and a must-try New Orleans dessert. The coffee was fine, standard New Orleans coffee. Service (0/5 Stars): This is where the experience falls apart. Our server approached and immediately asked, "Do you guys want beignets? How many?" and then rudely walked away mid-sentence before we could finish deciding. The attitude was appalling. Even after we did place our order (two of the same item), she was so inattentive that she misunderstood a simple request and brought us two different versions. While not a major issue, it was yet another clear indication of her lack of focus. We waited 5-10 minutes for her return. I observed similar rude, dismissive behavior from servers at other tables. To top it off, after dropping off the order, our server waited right next to our table explicitly for a tip despite the terrible service. Practical & Legal Concerns: 1- CASH ONLY: Be prepared. This is a cash-only place. 2-No Receipts: A major concern is that they do not issue receipts, even when requested. This, combined with the servers constantly walking around counting wads of cash, suggests they may not be properly reporting their earnings and could be operating illegally. This is highly unprofessional and tacky. Conclusion: While the beignets are a New Orleans staple, I would never suggest a friend go here. The combination of rude service and shady business practices outweighs the historic location and decent food. There are plenty of other fantastic local spots to get beignets and coffee with an infinitely better experience.

Definitely the iconic spot it is heralded for. Beignets were amazing. The frozen café au lait is a perfect pairing. The jazz music outside really sets a vibe for the puffs of powdered sugar as you bite into your Beignets. Its the standard and sets the bar. Start here and then try the others. Seat yourself and someone will come to you. Sometimes that takes longer than you want. Cash only but open 24hrs!!!

What can you say about Café Du Monde? It’s iconic for a reason. The beignets are absolutely incredible — hot, fresh, perfectly crisp on the outside with a light, airy chew on the inside, and piled high with powdered sugar. I went on a busy Sunday morning and was lucky to get a seat right away, and the service was surprisingly quick given how chaotic it can get. The restaurant is very casual and crowded, with cramped tables and chairs, and the waitstaff are constantly on the move. The restrooms are limited and not the nicest, but it’s a casual spot, and the prices reflect that. I was so impressed that I went back the next day — these beignets are truly worth a visit to New Orleans on their own. I’ve been dreaming about them for years, and they exceeded every expectation. Absolutely phenomenal. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Heads up : it’s cash only, no cards accepted! That said, this place is a true New Orleans classic. Super retro vibe, often with live musicians playing nearby, which makes the whole experience even better. And the beignets? Wowwww! absolutely delicious! Of course we recommend it!

We had to visit cafe de monde, it is an institution. Super busy any time of day. Beignets are related to donuts, but not as flavorful. They are covered with heap of powered sugar, so they very messy. I saw very few people that were not covered with white powder. To stay relatively clean you have to shake off the powder first, you still get a lot of sweetness as some of it heats up and melts onto the dough. The bathroom experience was memorable. There is a long line, and there is a bathroom director who tells the next person to enter one of two bathrooms (both are either/or ) bathroom. They are the size of the air plane bathroom, dirty, with wet floor. There are no paper towels, but one can use toilet paper to dry the hands. It is an experience I will remember. P.s. cash only. A plate with thee and 2 coffees were 15 dollars.

Cafe Du Monde is the quintessential touristy place of New Orleans. If you don't visit, did you even go to The Big Easy? Beignets and coffee are the name of the game here. The beignets are coated with enough powdered sugar to tempt the Narcotics Unit to throw you behind bars. Will you find better tasting beignets in the area? For sure. But will you eat them in a place as historical and nostalgic as the city itself? Heck no! The main thing to know is this place is cash only. Also, you can purchase one of the server hats and get the cheapest souvenir in the French Market. I've eaten here early morning and late at night, and it's truly a toss-up on which vibes I liked better. In the end, you can't go wrong.

I've long heard that you have to get there SUPER early to get in line to get beignets. We went here twice and did not have to wait either time to sit down. I figured it was time of year or time of day (once was around dinner time in the evening and the other was around mid-day). Service was quick and the beignets were delicious as was the cafe au lait. Both times we visited, there was live music just outside of the patio. We didn't stick around too long after we were done, so can't speak to anything else. Would I go back here? Sure!

Wonderful urban park situated at the back end of the garden district, yet feels rather remote and distant from the roar of traffic and city life. This park was lovely, and had a very relaxing feel to it, unlike city park which felt more like a location one goes for activities such as golf, football practice or disc golf. The path was very nice, wide enough for pedestrians, dogs and cyclists alike, and runs parallel to a lovely stream. Forget your woes and come down and enjoy this lovely little breath of scenery.

Large, beautiful park. Convenient for locals and worth the drive for west-bankers.

Beautiful. I visited in the early morning and was already packed with people walking and running. What a beautiful place to enjoy God's creation. Very safe and perfect for exercise.

What a beautiful park! Well-manacured, serene trails, delightful fountain. I spent more time here than I thought I would. The park is directly across from Loyola and Tulane, yet many families with young children were enjoying themselves. There were several walkers, bikers and joggers but the park wasn't crowded or noisy. Just a great stop off the St Charles streetcar line!

Beautiful. HUGE! Great Gift etc etc Shoppe's. Wonderful and helpful employees throughout the Facility.

Great park. Recommend the "park loop" for walking, running, biking. Great for kids and pets. Periodic restrooms along the way.

Totally disappointed 😞 😒 On our last day in New Orleans we had purchased a pass to the Zoo and aquarium On our Last Day in New Orleans arrive at 10 am Tuesday morning to Find out the Zoo is Closed Tickets for the Zoo were purchased on Zoo website for package deals on Monday night ..Totally disappointed and having to wait until Thursday to try to get money back for Tickets that should not been sad and sketchy at the same time...The young security guard working that day young African American man deserves a raise 4sure he was awesome!!! Zoo on the other needs to not sell tickets for days that you are closed border line Tom Foolery and Shenanigans!!!! Totally disappointed In Cincinnati.....

ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Such a phenomenal brewery with a lot of space and plenty of beers to choose from. All the beer was phenomenal. The staff was super friendly and accommodating and even gave some great recommendations as well. Sadly we weren’t hungry, but they had crawfish for food! It all looked and smelled so great! Next time coming hungry for sure!

First tried their beer last year at a brew fest type event and knew we had to add it to our list of places to try if we got the chance. Took a trip to NOLA and decided we had to go. Great space and good vibes. Beer was excellent. Good mix of all the styles for the beer nerds. I love sours and was able to land on several really good sours here. They also have a food truck which is alway appreciated. Staff was great and didn’t rush you. So far best brewery I’ve been to in NOLA.

Went on a Monday but it was still great. Very friendly service and great beers. Also got a smash burger, which at Monday lunch came with a token for a free beer? And the burger and fries were lovely. Only thing I didn't like was the showgirl seltzer (too sweet) but they happily replaced it with something else.

Say not the best experience here but that was down to the service. There are a lot of beers to choose from so my husband and I did a flight each. My husband was unsure on a couple and asked if he could have a taste, the lady replied with that’s what the flight is for. Really unusual for a brew pub and quite rude. I went for a variations of sours and they weren’t that sour just very sweet.

Came from the first brewery down the road where they were not friendly and full of toddlers making so much noise we couldn’t talk. Walked in here and was greeted with a smile! We had friendly service and the beer choices were so much better. We were able to get a flight and try the beer and actually liked 3 of the 4 so that was a winner for us. We will definitely be back. We didn’t get to see if they had any food which will be a plus for us next time. Thank you for smiling and being friendly! It made our night much better after coming from our first one down the road and not treated with friendly service and didn’t care if we were there.

We really enjoyed this brewery. The beers are all great (although, the sweeter ones are a little sickly) and the vibes there are on point. If you’re not a beer drinker, they have plenty of boozy seltzer options too. We also liked the location…unassuming spot with plenty of parking. And if you love some brewery merch, they have a wide selection. Hit this place up!

This is a great spot, we walked in the rain and had a joyful time in this brewery. They let us taste a few beers. Shared some pretzel bites with cheese from their food truck outside. The atmosphere was amazing. The staff were kind and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone! Worth a stop if you’re looking a for a good beer and snack.

I was very disappointed that there was no one on site to let visitors in. I understand the idea behind a permit park but we are visiting from Canada and just wanted to go in for an hour or so with our two vaccinated dogs. We have proof of vaccines with us but you have to purchase the permits somewhere off site and likely not open on a Sunday. It looked really great through the fence and all the dogs were so happy. Ours were sad.

Moved to New Orleans from Atlanta and was so pleased to find our new ‘backyard!’ Everyone is so friendly and keeps a close eye on their dogs. The grounds, including the bathrooms and dog wash stations, are always clean. I don’t know how someone can say it’s for the elite when it’s $60 for an annual pass. I do wish they offered monthly memberships for those only working in the city for a few months. However the park, the pups, and the people here are all phenomenal!

LOVE City Bark! Grounds are well maintained, a nice walking path, multiple waste drop off stations, and an area to bathe my pup after he frolics in the mud. (When it's rained). Also, the hours operation are very generous. Everyone keeps a close eye on their dogs and it's a friendly group of people. Very pleased for this dog park option - especially for those of us who don't have a yard at home.

Great park with a large space. Online application for permit was seem less. Friendly and well behaved dogs. They were responsive via email and answered within 2 hrs. Option to pay in person when you pick up the permit and tag or online but you still need to pick up the tag/key to get in. It can be returned in person or mailed back to them which is great if your schedule is packed with activities. They have 2 dog pools that you drain easily, and a fire hydrate water fountain, plus some balls, and other playgrounds for the pups. Would definitely recommend for dogs who enjoy making friends.

We absolutely love this park. It's a little far from uptown for us to go daily but always worth the trip. There's so much space for our 70 lb goldendoodle to sprint to his heart's content. He loves the kiddie pools to cool off in, and we love that there is a dog washing station as well as bathrooms for humans. The fee is also worth the peace of mind knowing that all the dogs in there are friendly and up to date on their shots. Can't recommend it enough!

My dog’s fav place. The best park in New Orleans. Biggest. Safest. Must buzz in with card & you’re more comfortable knowing the dogs here are all vaccinated & clean. Sprinkler & pool area, playground, & a wash off bath area. Game changer !!

Great find to let our Jack Russell "Hondo" play with the big dogs!

Southern Paws in the French Quarter is such a beautiful little boutique and a refreshing change in the type of store in this high tourist area. The staff is so friendly and even called their new location nearby to confirm they had the shirt size I was looking for. The prices can be a little high, but since it’s a different store type in the French Quarter area I was okay with paying more.

Southern Paws, New Orleans: Where Your Dog Gets Treated Better Than You Do (And Honestly, That’s Fair) If Anthropologie and a dog park had a baby, and that baby grew up listening to zydeco and eating crawfish-flavored treats, it would be Southern Paws. This isn’t just a pet store. It’s a lifestyle boutique for creatures who lick their own feet and still manage to look more put-together than I do on a Monday. Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Southern Paws is the kind of place that makes you say, “I came for poop bags and left with a sequined bowtie and a locally sourced paw balm.” Let’s break it down: Ambiance The vibe is “Southern charm meets canine couture.” Exposed brick, jazz playing softly, and displays so artfully arranged you’d think Martha Stewart moonlights here. There’s a wall of collars that look like they belong in a museum of tiny leather goods. The lighting is flattering enough to make you consider taking a selfie with your dog. And yes, your dog is welcome. In fact, your dog is the main character. You? You’re just the wallet. Staff The staff are the kind of people who remember your dog’s name, preferred treat texture, and emotional triggers. They’ll greet your pup like royalty and you like the chauffeur, which, let’s be honest, is accurate. They’re warm, knowledgeable, and somehow manage to make you feel like buying a $40 chew toy shaped like a crawfish is a sound financial decision. Inventory • Treats: Organic, artisanal, and probably better than the granola bar in your bag. • Toys: Squeaky, stylish, and themed—because your dog deserves a Halloween collection. • Accessories: Bowties, raincoats, Mardi Gras costumes. If your dog isn’t dressed like a jazz musician by the time you leave, you weren’t trying hard enough. • Human stuff: T-shirts, mugs, and candles that say things like “My dog is my therapist” and “Bark Side of the Moon.” You will buy one. Resistance is futile. Safety & Civic Vibes Southern Paws is one of those rare places in the Quarter where you can exhale. It’s clean, well-lit, and feels like a little oasis of sanity in the midst of Bourbon-adjacent chaos. The door’s usually open, but the energy is curated, no chaos, no confusion, just calm tail wags and curated retail. Bonus Points • They host adoption events and support local rescues, which means your impulse purchases come with a side of civic virtue. • There’s a water bowl out front and usually a dog lounging inside who looks like he’s been elected mayor of the store. • If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a staff member serenading a schnauzer with a squeaky toy rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching In.”

So I was visiting New Orleans, and while buying souvenirs I found your store! I was mesmerized by the amount of pet clothing and food at this place I ended up buying some treats and this gorgeous fedora for my pup! He wears it at almost any event in NYC, I really wish I could've buy another one!

It's such a great shop for your fur babies! My pitty Brian had a peanut butter & bacon crunch donut. Awesome treats and cool accessories for your dog. A must visit for your visit to the French quarter. Look how happy Brian is :))

We would give them a 10 if I could. So kind to my half Lab ,half collie ;100% lovable mutt . Great New Orleans garb for dogs and cats . Treats are very tasty — so I’ve been told. Very nice staff.

Otis Leroy (boxer) and Gracie Anne (pitty) approve of their treats and toys! Friendly staff. Overall 10/10 experience. Hello from Fl!

Southern Paws in the French Quarter is another gem! The staff are incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help me find the perfect gifts for pet birthday parties. They made spot on recommendations based on dog type and size, which made shopping a breeze! The store is packed with unique, fun products you won't find just anywhere. Bonus: it's super pet friendly, so bring your pup along. Highly recommend this spot for all your pet needs.

A Hidden Gem Along the Mississippi River Nestled behind the Audubon Zoo, The Fly offers a serene escape with panoramic views of the Mississippi River. This tranquil spot is perfect for morning walks, picnics, or simply unwinding while watching the boats drift by. The expansive green space provides ample room for various activities, from frisbee games to leisurely reading sessions. Its proximity to Magazine Street adds convenience, allowing visitors to enjoy local shops and eateries nearby. Whether you're a local or a visitor, The Fly is a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of New Orleans.

Nothing special here. You'd better move over to the northern part, the proper Audbun Park, which itself is lovely. Here, you'll find nothing special - the views over the Mississippi river are limited, the paths are worn out plus lots of space is used as a parking lot. Better atmosphere is just around the corner.

Beautiful park with lots of people picnicking. Watching the boats go by.

Still a nice place for a walk or a picnic, but plenty of the walking path is fenced off and the entire area could be more well kept

The fly is great for sunset, hanging out, shooting a video. Would recommend for a nice breeze on a nice afternoon.

Nice park behind Audubon Zoo on the Mississippi River.

We love the fly! Take your blanket, chairs of a hammock & stay awhile. Lots of shade, few benches. Gets busy with Tulane & Loyola students on the weekends , but you can always find a space (& parking )

I went on a tour with Katherine for a wedding party, and it was awesome! I was worried it would be people jumping out to scare you or super cheesy, but Katharine did a great job of mixing history with the stories. Before the tour, she asked if we would prefer more ghosts and vampires or more history, and since we're all fairly nerdy we chose more history. Katharine was a phenomenal storyteller. You always knew what parts of the stories were historically accurate, and what parts were legend. She also made sure we knew how to stay safe during the whole tour. She offered electrolytes and water whenever we needed and made sure we stayed safe and healthy. Next time I come to New Orleans, I'll have to book another tour and request Katharine again!

My daughter and I did the ghost & vampire tour on Halloween night! It was awesome! Breon was an amazing story teller. We learned a lot about the hauntings, ghosts & vampires! Great way to spend Halloween night! Highly recommend!

We went on the 8pm adult tour with our spectacular guide Katherine! We originally decided on this tour because my friend and I share a favorite podcast (Last Podcast on the Left) and they highly recommended this tour when in NOLA. It did not disappoint! Katherine is a phenomenal tour guide who obviously loves her city, and gives her all to the information during the tour. The idea of ghosts during this tour felt more like the ghosts of our past, and Katherine did an incredible job honing in on that vibe from the get-go. A true master storyteller. She checks in on us and even carries a cooler with water and Gatorade to make sure we stay healthy and happy during the tour. That kind of caring service is rare nowadays! The tour is a grisly overview of the hard to swallow truth about American history (and sprinkled with documented spooky vampire and paranormal instances) but Katherine informed us in such a way that not only did I learn so much more than I ever did in school, but I got goosebumps multiple times. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, taken seriously “ghost” tour, this is your stop!

Took the tour tonight with my husband. Katherine was AMAZING! It was an all adult VIP tour and her energy, knowledge, attentiveness, and passion was Impeccable. It was entertaining and historical. The thorough exploration of the various periods, events, people, and culture was engaging and also helped answer so many questions! The best experience and Katherine was integral part of the wonderful experience. Thanks - Let the Good Times Roll!

We had a great time with our tour guide, Michael. He was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. We went on the 6pm ghost & vampire tour and we really enjoyed all of the stops and learning the history. I really liked that Michael could share personal tid bits and experiences to add to history and stories of different spots like the Andrew Jackson Hotel and the LaLaurie Mansion. I’d give more stars if I could! 10/10

An awesome tour guide service that offered many different tours with dope guides. Ours was Adelai, she was an eccentric (self proclaimed) fairy that has deep roots in Louisiana. Her knowledge and first hand stories were great, from learning about the rougarou eating toes, the craziness at LaLaurie mansion, the hidden vampires on the 3rd floor of the old convenant, and the child-ghosts at Andrew Jackson hotel. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for this style tour.

Holy WOW! Kathryn was amazing. Definitely the very best tour we've been on. Lots of history and fun. Also just saw this photo from the tour. So weird! Totally unedited.

On our last day in New Orleans, and everyone wanted breakfast. The grits—did not disappoint! I won’t give away the secret ingredient… you’ll have to taste them for yourself. The food was amazing, and the service matched it perfectly. We had originally stopped by the Bourbon Street location, but it wasn’t open, and this spot was recommended instead. I’m actually glad it worked out that way—otherwise, we might have missed this wonderful dining experience in such a charming, quaint location.

Loved the ambience. The live music adds a nice touch to the entire environment. The Beignets were definitely nice, fluffy and warm. The coffee served here has chicory that adds a very unique flavour that is known to Indians as 'filter coffee' and also adds to the thickness of the coffee.

Great little spot in French quarter. Pastries and coffee. Beignet are a New Orleans must try. 3 pack for good price. Made fresh and covered with powdered sugar. Atmosphere is part of the experience.

I will take these over the Cafe Du Monde every single day. They are a thicker version with all kinds of options. These were a pecan and caramel and I could have eaten the cardboard boat. Great location and not as crowded. Right next to the police pct too. Bring your appetite and definitely make this a stop

OK, I had a southern breakfast which was good. The eggs were OK at atmosphere was nice. Everybody seemed like they were happy and the beignets are absolutely delicious. They make them hot and I think that’s what makes a difference than eating a cold one. Overall, this is the place for beignets and I would highly recommend.

The best delicious break on a cold windy day. Warm greeting, fresh hot coffee, freshly cooked hot beignets (huge!) and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Deserves to be the fav coffee & beignet spot in New Orleans. So much better than today’s Cafe du Monde!

Loved this cute cafe it is the cutest French-inspired decor. Loved the cute French table and chairs. Loved the variety of coffee options and the huge delicious beignets. OMG, the beignets are hands down the best I have had this week. I love the setting. It is a small place but I loved watching people/families/friends enjoying themselves. 😊 ☺️ ❤️

Beautiful garden district, great restaurants and light bites. Antiques are so fun to see

Magazine Street is one of New Orleans’ most iconic stretches, blending local charm, historic beauty, and vibrant culture into a single, walkable experience. Stretching about six miles from the Central Business District to Uptown, the street winds through some of the city’s most scenic neighborhoods, including the Garden District. It’s lined with colorful Creole cottages, leafy oaks, and an endless mix of local boutiques, galleries, and eateries.

Do you like to shop? If so this is the place you need to be while visiting New Orleans. The people are so friendly. We had a great time and will definitely come back.

Good place for shopping

So much fun

Lots of shops and interesting things to see. Was very hot so we decided to drive along the street instead of walking around. Mainly because we were site seeing the area and looking at all the old houses and architecture and happened along this famous area.

Magazine Street is one of my favorite streets in the City. Technically Magazine is the lower boundary of the Garden District, though it’s often included. I think there is a great mix of small commercial businesses, restaurants, bars and residential to make it very appealing. From Philip Street to Canal I find it more commercial and from Philip Street going upriver I find it more residential. A lovely street to browse.

Was crazy to see this place potential being wasted, was dirty and empty and I really have to same pretty bad shape! Was amazing I ask the security guy few questions and he was amazing describing all about this place and history ,he take the time to talk to me and was the best of coming here…. I don’t know if a came in a bad day ! So sad to see this place abandoned like this !! I didn’t ask the security guy name, he did amazing ! Monday morning security guy … good job!!!

Oh what a wonderful world A wonderful little world housed just outside of the French quarter of New Orleans. This quiet little haven of peace serves as a public green space, equipped with sculptures, plaques and more honouring the late founder of jazz. Though I would say it’s potential has been let down by its custodians. The park has some quaint little walkways and bridges which personally I enjoyed. This included a wooden bridge over a small beck, within which turtles can be spotted. We pondered on whether the turtles are natural or placed by man. I can’t help feeling like this park isn’t lifted to its full potential, due to the abundance of scaffolding and heras fencing, and the colour of the water. This could be a truly magical place but does feel somewhat uncared for. I understand there has been discussion about whether the adjacent parking lots may be incorporated into the park at some point.

Louis Armstrong Park has the appearance of a public space designed in the Lyndon Johnson era. Stark looking concrete bridges over concrete ponds seemingly without intent or direction. I can't quite figure out what seems so odd about the park. The rarely used Mahalia Jackson Theater is on the property as well as a very large abandoned building, the Municipal Auditorium whose intent is unknown to me, but is in great need of rehabilitation. I find an Executive Order from the Mayors office setting up a committee to study its redevelopment. Hopefully something is in the works. There is also an older historic building complex in the middle of the park, fenced off. Don't know what that is. The stark concrete bridges would be a lot more pleasing to the eye if they were faced with brick. Anyway, it does serve as an outdoor space for events and gathering spot for walking parades. I'm not sure whether they even have bathrooms in the park. There are some nice statues.

Pass by these silent and beautiful park in central city….5km Runs is worth it to see around. They will close around 6pm Louis Armstrong, the legendary jazz musician born in New Orleans.🎷🎺 #LouisArmstrong #thelegendaryjazz #musician #NewOrleans

Amazing park dedicated to a legend. A nice surprise to stumble across while out seeing the sites of the French Quarter.

The park has great appeal. The city or whoever oversees the park needs to maintain it. It was so sad to see the level of trash that filled the water feature.... the landscape is too nice to look like that. It can be a serene place. Also some of the night lights on the entry of the park are our. Please clean the water up. I still think it's worth going to visit.

It is so beautiful here, very quiet and peaceful full of flowers and ducks and so much nature, a great place to get away from the cement jungle and sit back reading a book, or just relax and soak in the sunshine. Take a break, you deserve it.

Great place for a quick breakfast. If there isn’t a long line, the eggs are amazing and all the croissants we tried were delicious. Will be coming back for some cake later and the coffee was good too.

Meh. Was hoping to find a great French Patisserie in the French Quarter. Instead we found this place. It was mostly just good, not bad and definitely not great. Easy walk from the French Market and Jackson Square. Tried a half dozen or so of the pastries as well as the Spinach Quiche. The quiche was pretty good, and a nice flaky crust. Good flavor but the microwaving to heat it up gave it a slightly rubbery texture. The laminated pastries though, ugh. VERY bready! Whoever was handling their lamination definitely needs to go somewhere and learn proper lamination. Anything with laminated dough was all the same, bad to mediocre. You can see from the pictures that the Croissants look like something you get from a can made by Pillsbury. The Apple filled croissant tasted like the filling was straight from a can. They had some really cute pastries and cakes they call "animals" that we didn't try. The star of the show was the Tarte au Citron (Lemon Tart). The tart shell was good a flaky. The lemon filling was excellent. The meringue was tasty and piped well. Just a little over torched which gave it a slightly bitter taste. Overall a very good lemon tart and I would order it again. The atmosphere was wonderful and they had a fantastic courtyard. Most of the service was very good. The biggest complaint, and reason for only 2 stars on service was the lady at the register. Didn't greet us and seemed bored and could care less. Did not help with recommendations and was uninterested in answering any questions. Sorry to be a bother ma'am. We'll just go elsewhere next time. Would I recommend? Hmmm. If you are going for croissants or laminated pastry or the highest quality of pastry, no, I would not recommend. If you are looking for a place close to the French Quarter and nice atmosphere but food quality and service don't matter then yes, I would recommend.

The baked goods we got were delicious!!! The vibes of the shop were adorable and we had a lovely time sitting and eating breakfast!! It was VERY busy, but the employees were nice, helpful, and VERY efficient. We did not have to wait too long.

I was recommended this place from my high school French teacher and needless to say it definitely did not disappoint. The atmosphere is just what I envisioned a little patisserie in France to be like. They have a nice little menu for breakfast/brunch as well as PLENTY of pastries from their cases. I got a croque Madame, a fruit tart, and a mocha and loved every bit of everything. My dad got a ham, egg, and cheese croissant and he enjoyed that as well. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in New Orleans!

Food was great. Service was FANTASTIC! Super great, friendly and efficient staff. They had orders coming out pretty quickly and were doing so with smiles on their faces. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.

Grabbed several slices of cake for my daughter's birthday. Did not disappoint! The tirismu cake - chefs kiss! We went the next day for breakfast. A very tasty menu and they offer daily specials. A quaint French atmosphere with amazing decor.

This bakery is adorable and the food is delicious. There's a courtyard with a fountain as well. I highly recommend the raspberry croissant and cherry Danish. It's a lovely place to start your day.

Overall: I probably wouldn’t go back. I had to come in and out several times to order and serve myself so I didn’t even get to relax with my group. I had to order and pay for the bar tab and food tab separately which was just inconvenient. I paid $13 for a basic cheeseburger with a frozen patty and it didn’t even come with a side. The staff wasn’t very friendly or attentive. The only real pro for me was the dog friendly patio where minors are not allowed. And the quesadilla was good and fairly priced.

Great atmosphere! The bartender, Gabe, gave us great beer and cocktail recommendations. He was very kind and knowledgeable & overall created a great first experience for me and my family. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area!

Awesome burgers. The Works burger was one of the best I have ever had. The meat was soft and succulent with plenty of tasty toppings. Wonderful selection of beers. Being from England the friendly locals made me feel right at home.

One of my favorite bars uptown! The service is too tier— Tabitha is the best bartender. She made all our drinks so fast and they came out delicious. Devin keeps the vibes so high as well— best bingo host EVER. And even the food was great— we had loaded nachos and they came out piping hot and full of flavor and toppings. Will definitely be coming back again

Both Tee and Devin were absolutely amazing. Gave me the best two beer buying experience I’ve ever had!!!! Everyone needs to come and give this place a visit!

Refused service to my daughter 2 days after her 21st birthday. Bartender didn't know how to read Utah IDs ... Well you're wrong on both points. Utah IDs aren't textured. And it wasn't expired. Also you apparently cannot read either. My name is KELTY. However I'm glad you showed your attitude before we were served, because I prefer bar service to be polite and not ignorant.

Love the atmosphere here! They have an area outside for patrons with pups. Total pub! They have a nice variety of food (we didn't eat) BUT I will include a pic of the menu.....hoped y'all get the idea of the food.. from apps to specialty sandwiches the gotcha covered! Oh and did I mention the HUGE beer menu? Holy.... awesome. Great bartender, ( Ryan) LARGE assortment of beers! We stopped in because I liked the outside and wanted to check it out. Glad I did! Super laid back place. I had the Woot Stout! Highly recommend this place!

Super cute brewery with pop up food and great options. The staff is super friendly. I love the outdoor seating and the options to play video games inside. If you don’t like beer they do have hard seltzer which js also good! They always host different pop up events. It’s perfect after work decompress! And kids and dogs are also welcome!

Pretty good beer, nice atmosphere and spacious. Pricey though, $15 a flight of 4 is excessive. Edit: I appreciate the reply from the owners, this shows their commitment and attention to detail. I still stand by my previous post about the cost of a flight, however I want to convey that the individual prices for a pint are reasonable and on par for the market. This was not the first time, or last time I'll be back to Miel.

Great little spot. We love that this place is dog friendly and has a good selection of craft brews. The rotating food trucks are always amazing as well. Highly recommend for outdoor patio, Sunday funday vibes

We had a great time at Miel’s. I had 3 or 4 different brews and my wife had one of the slushees. I enjoyed every beer I had, my wife said her slushy was very tasty as well. We came because they had a pop up event for buggin out boils which was awesome and such a perfect partnership. The patio is large and has a nice set up. The weirdest thing was people would all line up instead of go around the bar to be served. We found that strange. Service was very friendly. My wife also got a cookie thing from another I would guess pop up table. I like that they have the food options and cool seeing local businesses helping each other out. We would check them out again to enjoy a few afternoon drinks on the patio.

My wife and I stumbled into this spot right after dinner from Magazine Street and we were excited to try a few local brews. We figured we’d try this place out since Abita was 15 minutes further away by foot. There was no line so we were excited as we checked out the menu. Even though there were no other patrons looking to order, it didn’t seem like the cashier wanted to give us the time of day - ordering felt like a chore. Perhaps it was the end of her shift? We wondered if we should have just walked the extra 15 minutes to Abita. The beers were pretty good overall: (1) Vienna Lager - on point, I would have ordered a full pint had the conditions been different. (2) Golden Boi - It had good flavor on the front end, but the aftertaste was not pleasant. (3) Bird of Paradise - I typically enjoy IPAs and higher ABV beers, but this was a bit too boozy for me, there was a significant ethanol aftertaste. (4) Irish Stout - it was light and smooth, my wife totally dug this one.

I like Miel Taproom. It is an easy going place to have a craft beer and listen to music and socialize. Open air with clear roof area that jets sunlight in is nice. There is also a taproom with a long bar with air-conditioning if you like to have beer at the bar.

Great selection of beers. Stopped by on an overnight stay. Tried a flight and wasn’t disappointed! Friendly staff and inviting.

I've been hanging out on this side of the Greenway as of late and bar hopping around this area. I really like this bar even if I've only been twice. First time I popped in, they were having a dance party and the DJ was doing a good job spinning. The place was packed, everyone dancing, playing pool and having a good time. Oddball me finds a spot at the bar and starts reading. But it's NOLA so by the end of the night I've made friends and end up at some strangers house party. Second time around I stumbled back from watching the game at Holy ground to drown my sorrows. Being early evening before the holidays it was basically empty. I had a couple beers, big plus for having 2 hearted, and chatted with the bartender and another couple. It feels really comfortable here. They play good music, have a pool table, they have trivia and regular DJs. The 1st time they were playing anime, plus black bartenders in mid city. Not sure if it's black owned, but I'm here to support and represent. I do want to try their kitchen, the menu looks good.

The cutest dive bar. There was a bees knees special for Thursday. They have a pool table and karaoke on thursdays "purrsday" with DJ AlleyCat. It was packed and a very fun vibe.

Classic dive bar but with a twist—a leveled-up cocktail program! Each weeknight they have a $5 cocktail which are all hand made, not some batch stuff. Crowd is chill and service is great. Can’t ask for more from a local haunt.

New favorite bar in New Orleans. Looks like a dive, and you can have a shot and a beer if you want, but the cocktails were fantastic. The Sunday morning I was there they had a food truck serving breakfast/brunch food. I couldn’t have timed it better. Great job all the way around.

Went here recently with friends. One of the worst bar experiences in my life 😬 Drinks: EXTREMELY overpriced. For a few simple drinks (think gin and tonic) we paid $43 before tip. They came in... plastic cups. Literal plastic mardi gras cups. Not only that but they were tiny! I'm talking half a pint of lukewarm beer in a plastic cup. Mindboggling. Felt like a cheap tailgate. The non-beer drinks came to maybe the halfway point of the cup. Service: the bartender could not remember four (very basic) drinks at once and made us repeat the order multiple times. Atmosphere: weird crowd and ridiculous decorations. There's a grungy cloth sofa with weird stains, the bathrooms were disgusting. The comedy was so cringe, more laugh at than laugh with... If expensive warm drinks in plastic cups is your vibe this is the spot. Otherwise, hard avoid

Check this place out for brunch if your in Mid City, New Orleans. Good for great prices! Don't let the outside discourage you from going in. We had the breakfast burrito and the avocado toast. Yum! Also had the biscuits and gravy, they were good too. We we'll be back to try dinner. They do free food and drink specials on Mondays! Yes FREE food, each week a different theme, Puerto Rican, Pad Thai, Indian...

Cool local spot. Pop up kitchen only had 2 choices ( crawfish balls and red beans) which the crawfish balls were good.Good drinks and price! Would go again :)

My boyfriend and I were looking for a restaurant and had passed it up a few blocks back. We were drenched in sweat because we had been walking all morning and stopped to drink some water and tried to gather where we were. I’m assuming it was the owner, he came out and told us we could step inside to cool off if needed. Honestly, the best thing that could’ve happened because we were feeling lightheaded. We didn’t look around or buy anything, but he talked to us about the area, gave us some food places closer and tried helping us get back on track. We did try Turkey and Wolf and it was amazing! I just wanted to say his kindness went a long way for us. I greatly appreciate him for opening his doors and for being kind. This world could use a little more of that!

i would have liked a wider selection of nola specific items for dog. they had cute nola clothes, but its hot in nola, so my dog wont wear those clothes. otherwise, great selection of baked treats & collars!!

Like many have stated, the staff—or primarily the only staff we have ever encountered (white male, about 6’1)—is deeply unfriendly and unhelpful. We live a few blocks away and have tried twice to bring our dog in for treats and a nail trim. We gave up after being dismissed the second time as if we were a bother for even entering. To the owners: please take these reviews to heart. And if the said man is the owner, get out of the customer service biz my man.

Amazing local spot with all types of treats (to eat and play with) for your your furry friends. Clothing section was absolutely amazing. Cookies appeared to be good enough for human consumption. Lovely establishment with friendly staff

LAZY & RUDE!! • Locked multiple groups of customers outside of the shop building to “mop” (called to ask) an HOUR before closing. • (I didn’t see anybody mopping the shop area; however, I did see a woman relaxing at the front desk & waving us off through the glass…. Don’t even bother.)

Just Horrible!!! We had a grooming appointment today for 9am. We received 2 confirmation emails and no one was there. There was a note to call or ring the RING doorbell but the phone rang inside the store and no one answered the RING. It's stressful on you and especially on your pet to take them to a grooming. Do Not use this place because they no show customers!

When I went to Petcetera to buy my dog a cupcake I asked the person working if the cupcake had peanut butter because I am severely allergic to peanuts and can’t feed my dog anything with peanut butter. He assured me none of the treats had peanut butter so I bought the cupcake. I went to the Petcetera website after giving the cupcake to my dog because I thought it looked like peanut butter as he was eating it and right on the website it said the main ingredient was peanut butter. I had to deeply clean my dogs mouth and wash my hands many times to avoid having an allergic reaction. If I had not looked it up I could have had an allergic reaction and gone into anaphylactic shock. Employees must know all ingredients of the products they are selling to avoid something horrible happening to anyone including dogs with allergies.

Be warned, Americans dine early! You do not need prior surfing experience to enjoy the pleasantries here. Great atmosphere and ambience. But we arrived after the main dinner threshold (not sure what time this is but we arrived around 9). We were given the “night time munchies” menu instead which was pretty disappointing, as the main menu looked rich with delicious options. The place is decorated extensively with a surfing theme including an array of various surfboards. It’s not overpowering but gives a good character to the place. They seem to have a great sports showing too, with regular games streamed on TVs throughout the place. I hope to return to try the proper menu at some point!

I highly highly recommend this place for TexMex, drinks and great vibes. I forgot to take pics of the menu but selection was decent. I had the blackened fish taco and the beef taco and both were amazing. So good I ordered another round with the coconut margarita. The inside courtyard is 👌 👍 Bar and lighting was good. Everything is clean. Second floor and balcony seating also good. Go to this place you won't be disappointed.

From the moment we walked in, we felt SO welcome and part of the Lucy atmosphere. The male bartender greeted us, all staff kept warm smiles, and our very informative waitress, Baylee, was top notch! We enjoyed a Frosè and Frozen Lemonade - both topped with the cutest mermaids. Our appetizer of Spicy Nachos with Guac was delish and came ahead of our entree. We also had an order of the Smash Burger and Lucy’s Burger - both sides of fries & packed with flavor. Will certainly visit when in NOLA again!

Stopped by Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar in New Orleans and had a great time! The shrimp and fish tacos were amazing —super fresh and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is laid-back, perfect for a casual bite. That being said, it does get pretty loud, so if you're looking for a place to have a conversation, it might not be the best choice. But the vibe is definitely fun and the food more than makes up for it! Totally recommend if you're in the area and craving some tasty tacos.

A game day must! Tacos are delish. Stopped into this chic sport to watch college game day. The vibe was fresh and chill! Corona buckets for $20 was definitely the perfect paring for game watching! We had the tacos and they were delish!!! The decor gives island vibes and the staff is friendly and attentive! We felt welcome as soon as we walked in the door!! Definitely a must try!!

Nice place for lunch. They have a large outside seating area and a large bar with two sides. Service was a little slow, but friendly and helpful in finding the best for me. I would come back, but I would guess it will be very noisy at night.

Food is excellent people that work there are friendly and knowledgeable and very efficient and attentive busy place understandably so because it’s good and they have many creative menu options —?thank you!

Woldenberg Park is a true gem. Along the Mississippi River, this beautiful park offers great views, a tranquil atmosphere, and plenty of activities to enjoy, especially in peak season. You can take a leisurely stroll along the riverwalk, sit in the shade, and watch the boats float by. The park is clean and well-maintained, making it perfect for a relaxing morning or evening walk. The park's serene ambiance is a welcome atmosphere from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street. You can even catch live jazz music near the paddle boats! It's an ideal spot to unwind, take in the views, and enjoy the unique blend of art, nature, and culture. Whether you're interested in history, art, or simply enjoying the outdoors, Woldenberg Park has something for everyone.

This was a nice park. I didn't see much of the park itself because I was attending the French Quarter Festival. The waterfront view of the park was really nice as well as being able to take a stroll in the boardwalk. If you're waking a dog or just out for a leisurely stroll this would be a great place to get away and enjoy. If you're visiting the area and need a break from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street this could be a great opportunity to take the trolley or even take a walk and get a little peace and relaxation with a view of the ships and other scenery.

Woldenberg Park is a beautiful stretch along the Mississippi River; peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a stroll. It’s clean and well-kept, with plenty of benches, sculptures, and grassy areas to relax or watch the boats go by. Located right next to the aquarium and the French Quarter. Lovely river breeze and great views.

Lovey walk along river and when French quarter festival on it is great! Well set up but still plenty of path to walk. Seeing the steamboats is great.

A really nice and big park on the Mississippi River, it’s very clean and pleasant to walk through. There are also plenty of places to sit down in the shade.

Great park, near paddle boats. Worth a sit and listen to the Jazz before the boat sets off. Clean park next to Mississippi River.

A nice place to take a walk or sit and enjoy the river. The only problem i have is seeing homeless sleeping all around.

Came here with a hungry appetite after a 5k run. Had great expectations because of the reviews. But left with somewhat hungry stomach. Yes, there was a mouse running through the ceiling. I get that we are in New Orleans. But I was just so surprised. The jerk taco was disappointing, with no jerk flavor and more of a medicinal herb taste. Overall, the food felt overpriced for the quality.

This place is so cute! I love the inside! They have a huge outdoor balcony where bands can come play as well. We ordered the pepperoni pizza or flatbread and it was okay. We had the “Blue Drank and some Froze’s and those were all good! But mostly sugar so we had to get an extra shot of vodka to put on top and mix it in. Service was great. We sat right at the bar. She always checked in on us.

I honestly can’t decide my favorite part. The food was amazing, the drinks were delightful, the atmosphere was top notch and the service was amazing. Shout out to our server Brittany who was so friendly and really made the experience next level. Genuinely might be the most fun dining experience I have ever had.

Me being Polish, and the name of this place, I had to at least stop for a drink! Pursued the menu, looked good, decent prices, & many specials. Looks like it would be fun & cozy in the evening. Drink was tasty, service was good, and it was also clean. Would definitely go back when I'm hungry (and thirsty)

Make sure to try test of orleans. It is combination of three authentic local dishes. Love it love it and love it. Also tried the famous hurricane here and few other places. They had the best one.

Didn’t have a great experience here. Walking through the restaurant to get to the patio seating, it reeked of vomit around the bar area. It was the Monday after Halloween Weekend so I can understand things get crazy, but definitely not appetizing when you’re about to eat lunch. Our server was very sweet, however do not eat here if you have any food allergies. We did inform our waitress that someone in our party had severe peanut and egg allergies. She was nice and went to check their allergen guide on what he could eat. We were sure to be very careful and asked her to check a couple of times since he could go into anaphylactic shock. He decided to order a grilled chicken Caesar salad and said to just throw whatever dressing on the side that was free of his allergens. The salad came out with ranch all over it and since ranch usually has eggs, we waited until our waitress came back 10 mins later to explain that ranch usually has eggs. She went back into the kitchen to check a 3rd time and came out saying “don’t eat that!!” She was apologetic, but if you do have allergies you have to be very vigilant eating here and I would recommend bringing an EpiPen, or just going somewhere where staff is better trained on common food allergens. Another thing to note was that the salad was initially served with 3 decent sized chicken breasts/cutlets and when we got the replacement it was shredded and there seemed to be less chicken. I did get the taste of New Orleans and wasn’t too thrilled about it. The bread was stale and the gumbo and beans weren’t all that good. The jambalaya was tasty. My boyfriend got the Jerk Chicken Tacos and those were actually super good.

Food was actually better than expected. Came in for the decor and lunch. The red beans and rice was surprisingly flavorful. The burger wasn't over done, and the shrimp po-boy was good. Would recommend. And the area was fun.

Crescent Park is a beautiful space with deep cultural and historical significance — especially the Latin American Workers Memorial, which honors those who helped rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The artwork and intention are powerful. However, I was concerned by what I saw during my recent visit. The monument is visibly neglected, with dead flowers, trash, and stains on the marble base. Even more alarming, there are clusters of wild, potentially poisonous mushrooms growing right along the walkways — a major safety risk for kids and pets. This park deserves better care and attention. It has the potential to be a peaceful and educational destination, but only if the city invests in maintaining it. I hope to return and see it restored with the dignity it deserves.

A wonderful park not far from the French Quarter that overlook into the Mississippi River .

Very close to the river, and adjacent to the city. It kind of curves a bit so it would be better if they could have straightened it out but oh well I guess that's part of being here. There's a dog run, but it's fairly small. When I was there the place was lousy with clowns but they were kind of hot so, when they chased me on their roller skates it was oddly traumatic yet stimulating. I guess the best way to describe this would be that when I recall this memory "I will find it difficult but not impossible...". There's a very small chance that if you me running to clowns here so if you don't like clowns or don't want to be put in a situation that would cause you to not like clowns in the future, perhaps you should steer clear. Other than that..it's a nice park.

Pleasant, meandering park. Cool pedestrian crossings over the railroad, including an elevator for wheelchairs. Big, covered warehouse floor is great for skating and tennis. Easy to forget the river is there when on the other side of the levee.

Nice Park along the Mississippi river. There are tables toward the Piety Wharf side where you can sit to have a picnic lunch. We ate our sandwiches from the nearby Frady's One Stop Food Store, Roast Beef PO Boy and a Muffuletta sandwich on one of the tables while admiring the view of the river. The area is very clean and nicely landscaped with rose bushes.

Absolutely love this park. They open the gates promptly for 6a. I lead a free workout group, open to all - community oriented (come join us!). But point is we are there every Tues/Thurs at 6a and Sat at 7a, and we've never had a problem! It's always clean, always safe, and always beautiful. The views are awesome. Fun fact - the park is EXACTLY one mile (if you know where to start) in length. Which is awesome for our Saturday timed miles. I promise this is not a shameless workout post (despite what it seems) just authentically want to share that for our use it's an absolute treat. As a local who also spends a considerable amount of time at Audubon, City Park, etc - all of which I love - Crescent Park just hits different. Enjoy it.

Lovely park, with a paved trail about 1.4 miles in length that runs along the waterfront (a small portion is divided from the river by railroad tracks). Water fountains and portable toilets in some areas. Pedestrian overpass (the one by the warehouse) over the railway is equipped with an elevator.

Nice spot to enjoy the views. Just watch out for grifters. Also there's a public restroom. Which can be hard to find in Nola.

This is a fantastic place to visit during the sunset. You can enjoy a great view of the river and the Jackson Square with the Saint Louis Church as background. If you are lucky then some musician could be performing some instrument and you can enjoy the music and the landscape. Many tourists from everywhere. Don't forget to take great pictures.

This is definitely not somewhere you should bring your children. There were several homeless persons sleeping on the benches and under trees. Some appeared to be very inebriated or high. The Park itself was beautiful with newer looking playground equipment and lots of mature trees. It seems very well maintained but we did not feel comfortable letting the kids play and all of the benches were occupied.

Fun park with street vendors, artist, and performers. Lots of history. Good place to rest your feet. Across the street from Moonwalk, Cafe Du Monde, and Hop on Hop off Sightseeing City Tour. Down the street from French Market. In French Quarter.

Great views over the water. Lots of good information out here. A short walk from cafe du monde so grab yourself some coffee and beignets and take a stroll through this wonferful park. Tons of artwork and there was even a live performance while we were there.

Great spot to watch the sunset, sunrise, and people watch in between. The park overlooks the Mississippi River on one side and Jackson Square on the other. You'll regularly find street performers in the area and the smell of Cafe du Monde in the air.

Known for its festive spirit of the Mardi Gras and vibrant nightlife. New Orleans has a lot more to offer. The rich history and beauty are almost mystical. In particular, Washington Artillery Park and Jackson Square. Even though not considered entirely safe for travelers, it remains a personal preference. During our time spent cycling, around the remarkable landmarks reduced possible risk, and make short stops to take in the beauty. A definite thumbs up in my book and most certainly a revisit.

Cool locals bar. Great atmosphere away from the typical Bourbon Street crazy. Nice selection of local beers. Great staff, very friendly.

We went here the night before Halloween for bingo. It was pretty packed since it's a small little place. But I thought it was really cool that the bingo was free and they still gave out prizes. Seemed like everyone knew each other so maybe it's a local bar? Anyway it was very fun. I wish they would have done the bingo closer together since they were every half hour and it only took 5 minutes for someone to get a bingo. It would have been more fun if it could have been faster but I get they want people to stay and drink. We stayed for three games and then gave up.

Great bar to hang out in but it can get very loud. Mixed drinks are well made, canned drinks are very quick service. Pricing is fantastic and feels like a good value. I’ve been here multiple times and always enjoyed this bar, even if it is a bit loud for a great conversation

If you know me you know I love a good dive bar and one did not disappoint. You know you found one when the soap dispenser is a condiment dispenser. The service was great. The drinks were on point. The atmosphere was everything you want in a dive bar. It was great. I highly recommend it.

First, let me say that I am a bartender. I have NEVER let anyone leave my service area without their debit/credit card. Also let me tell you that the service was impeccable. However, I had to return to collect my credit card, which to me is unacceptable. I ordered 1 drink to go and had not been drinking prior to this. Based on my experience this is unacceptable. I do take some responsibility but the bartender knew he still had my card...I was not running a tab.

Dive bar. Quirky. Great alternative for a fancy cocktail bar. No food, just good drinks.

Here for a pop-up Vietnamese Style Crawfish Event; we journeyed in to wait for the crawfish order to be ready. Basic bar, with seemingly familiar to the place 'bar flys' as I know this is a frequent stop during Mardi Gras Festivities. The crowd here on a Thursday night was plentiful, idk if that was because of the Crawfish or if this was the norm; either way, we blended in and enjoyed the night. Bartenders were friendly as were the patrons. Indoors there were 4-5 table & seating areas for you to cop-a-squat and be a lookie-lou or enjoy your company, whatever your pleasure. Lots of eclectic decor to feast your eyes on. Quite dimly lit, but it helps to set the mood though. Drink prices were fair & the drinks were tasty as well. I'm not a fan of game hunting and my hope is that the BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED RHINO HEAD on the wall near the restrooms was a fake.

Great brunch spot that is walking distance from the French Quarter. We went twice, the first time the service was spotty and steak was overcooked. They offered to remake the steak and it came out perfectly. The second time was much smoother and service and food were quick. There’s pressed juices are really good and they have a nice variety of them. Pancakes were great and they have a large menu to choose from.

So good that we came here two days in a row for breakfast on our trip as we had to try the different options it had to offer! The vegan menu is AMAZING - so many options from vegan biscuits, vegan pancakes, ranchero, scrambled tofu - such good variety. The coffee is also brilliant and it had a great selection of juices. You have to try this place - you will not regret it! Staff super friendly and helpful & had a great queuing system waiting for the table (which didn’t even end up taking that long).

Bearcat CBD serves absolutely delicious food — I genuinely didn’t have a single complaint about any of the dishes I tried. It was one of the better brunches I’ve had in my life. That said, the atmosphere and service left a bit to be desired. The restaurant is very casual, bright, and energetic, but it can feel cramped and extremely loud, especially as it gets busy. The service wasn’t particularly attentive; for example, napkins had to be requested more than once, and our latte took a long time to arrive. We arrived around 8:45 a.m. on a Sunday and were lucky to get a table immediately. Shortly after, a line formed out the door. If we had had to wait, I might have found the experience frustrating. Overall, the food is excellent, but the combination of slow service, limited space, and the potential wait makes it a spot I probably wouldn’t return to regularly. Still, for a brunch lover who gets there early, it’s definitely worth trying.

We visited Bearcat during a busy time, so I understood there would be a wait. However, as someone who works in a licensed and customer service setting, I also know it’s important to be prepared for all scenarios. One staff member (an older woman with a mohawk and tattoos) showed frustration and directed it at the wrong person when there was an issue with our party number. It would’ve been better if the concern was addressed directly to the person who made the booking — in a firm but respectful manner. Our waitress was friendly but a little off at times — some orders were mixed up, utensils were missing, and a few items didn’t make it onto the plates correctly. On the positive side, the food itself was very good, which helped balance the experience. For six people, our bill was over $200, so with that kind of price point, I’d expect more consistency in service. I’ll also be adding pictures of the plates we received. Overall, the experience was okay the food was the highlight, but service definitely has room for improvement.

How do you explain the unexplainable? Bearcat is just fanatically good, y’all. So good that we went twice—just two days apart. On my first visit, I tried something completely new: scallops and grits in the most flavorful roux I’ve ever tasted. And listen, I grew up in the South, so I’ve had my fair share of roux. This one? Next level. I also couldn’t resist their pancake—scrupulous and decadent. Don’t judge me, lol. By the second visit, I debated ordering the scallops again because I thought nothing could top them. I was wrong. The Lobster Daddy—a special that day—blew me away. Imagine: fried Maine lobster, plated in rich crawfish gravy, layered with a biscuit, and topped with a perfectly fried egg. Every bite just made me happy. And an honorable mention goes to their in-house bottled teas fused with lemonade. We tried raspberry, guava, mango, and jasmine. Each one was refreshing in its own unique way and paired perfectly with the bold flavors of the dishes. If I had to nitpick, both entrées leaned a little on the salty side, but the flavors were so bold and layered that it hardly mattered. Bearcat didn’t just meet my expectations—it exceeded them. Twice.

One of the best and most memorable chicken biscuit brunch meals I’ve had, I’m just going to forget we ordered the steak… (it was not for us) The grits were good too. Or was creamy and very savory. Each bit was met with a warm thick cream and chewy goodness. Honestly above all else just get the chicken biscuit. The chicken was super fried and crispy. Perfect spice level. The biscuit was layered perfectly and eating each bite with a piece of chicken and tasty biscuit felt so right.

Hooolllly that fried chicken with crawfish gravy is something I’ll be thinking about for a minute!! This place is awesome! So busy yet such great and quick service. I loved my brunch! I was probably full like 1/2 way through but had to keep going because it was that great! Love this spot and highly suggest!

George Rodrigue is known for his Blue Dog paintings. We learned the blue dog is the alter ego of his deceased pet. He also painted several other styles, many of which are on display at his Royal Street Gallery. We enjoy stopping by and browsing the beautiful original works in the gallery.

We purchased numerous original signed and numbered prints from 2000-2005 in the New Orleans gallery. They came with a written guarantee for lifetime free appraisals. Unfortunately the gallery told me they no longer honor that guarantee since Rodrique has passed. We love them and they are prominently displayed in my home. Very disappointed and surprised the gallery doesn't keep their written promise.

Rodrique studios had an amazing assortment of beautiful prints. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy at all.

Gallery of the famous “Blue Dog”. You can also walk through here just to see some of the artists original paintings in person. The staff were very friendly and even though we weren’t planning to buy anything, were very happy to take the time to explain to use the history behind the “Blue Dog”. They showed us some interesting historical facts in books they have out of display. Well worth a visit!

Great place to see original painings of Rodrigue blue dogs and his other stuff. Really nice and the reception is friendly enough that you can walk in and enjoy his painting without the pressure of buying one- which was great for me as his fan.

Definitely one the the most informative galleries. The story of the artist's life will give you chills. I loved how Blue Dog came to be. How an artist can take something scary and make it happy. I'm not an art lover, but this left me in awe. If you're in New Orleans, make this a stop. You won't regret it!

Perfect for the serious collector. Also fun for those of us who appreciate art. The silver jewelry was a nice surprise. So close to Jackson Square.

We stayed in a king room at Hotel Monteleone, the room itself was a bit small, but that’s really the only negative from an otherwise fantastic experience. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful, and the concierge went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The Carousel Bar is beautiful, and the live music adds a great touch. The only downside is that it’s open to the public, not just hotel guests, so it gets extremely crowded from open to close. Finding a seat or even ordering a drink can be tough, but it’s still worth visiting for the atmosphere. The hotel’s location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of the French Quarter, making it easy to walk anywhere you want to go. Overall, despite the smaller room and the busy bar, we loved our stay and would absolutely stay here again.

Very happy we chose this hotel. It’s a beautiful old hotel with tons of character. The Criollo restaurant is great for breakfast. (Great oatmeal when you’re tired of heavy eating!) The Carousel bar is really fun and unique, with great cocktails. Our room was in the new tower section. Super clean and comfortable and well-serviced daily. No view at all though, but we were out most of the time. Michael the bellman was great—so kind and friendly. Juliajoy at the front desk was also very helpful and sweet. Did I mention location? PERFECT location in the French Quarter—you can walk everywhere from here. I’d definitely stay here again.

Stayed at this hotel October 2025 king size bed in Iberville tower. The room was really nice but a little small. The service was great when it came to house keeping. The concierge Jeffrey gave us amazing restaurant choices. We took a tour of the carousel bar was worth every penny. We also dined at the Cirollo restaurent in the hotel great food with music playing. Hotel is located 1 street away from burbon and close to Jackson Square. We will definitely be returning to this hotel

Hotel Monteleone is not just living off their name - they are staying high quality and high end. We booked the upgraded king room and it was gorgeous. Refurbished with a makeup vanity outside the bathroom, high quality linens and pillows, blackout curtains, and no noise. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Carousel bar is a classic and can’t be skipped. Food is also excellent. We loved the location as well. Close enough to walk to the top spots but not noisy. They also do turn down service with water and chocolate! We would stay here again!

Hotel Monteleone is truly a gem in the heart of New Orleans! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt elegant, historic, and full of charm. The location is perfect, right in the French Quarter, close to everything yet peaceful enough to relax. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always making us feel welcome and taken care of. The rooms are beautifully decorated, very clean, and comfortable, blending classic style with modern comfort. The famous Carousel Bar is a must-visit, such a fun and unique experience with great drinks and live music. The rooftop pool and stunning city views make it even better. Everything about our stay was delightful, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this iconic hotel to anyone visiting New Orleans!

The best of the best! Second time in Nola and staying at this hotel. Brought the in laws for their first Nola visit. They loved it as well. Came for Halloween- the city was electric! So much to do and see and easily walkable from this hotel! By far one of my best and favorite hotels i have ever been! Service is outstanding, exceptionally clean rooms, beautiful classic hotel!! The carousel bar is so fun and a must see for Nola! Will be back again soon!

Stayed here as a referral and couldn’t be happier. The service was awesome with room service and turn down services. The room and hotel were well kept and classy, along with the bar and restaurant that were always lively. The carousel bar as the centerpiece is you sipped one of their unique cocktails or ate one of the delicious meals. The location was also great. Good walking distance from anything you wanted to see, but just down from Bourbon Street to keep the noise down to help you sleep. If I return to NOLA, I know where I’m staying again.

one of the best burgers i’ve ever had. truly grilled. smokey taste. worth it ! food came up fast - pretty cool environment.

Best crawfish we’ve ever had! Mat and Butters are awesome bartenders. Came back 3 days in a row for crawfish and their beer specials. Open 24 hours. If you are visiting New Orleans, you have to stop in The Three Legged Dog bar!

Absolutely loved this place while visiting. Didn't hear any music just Breaking Bad' reruns on the TV which suited me just fine. I had the crawfish boil 3 times in two nights. Amazing!!! Also tried the mozzarella sticks and battered mushrooms and they were both perfect bar food snacks. Excellent service that doesn't discriminate tourists from locals. I frequent New Orleans as much as a Canadian can and I'll be back for sure!!!!

I had to ask this man who stood behind us after sitting there for 5 minutes waiting to be greeted asked this man who stood behind us how did he get such wonderful service before us who's been waiting. We arrived at 11:00 apparently it was shift change so we couldn't order no food. Don't recommend if you hungry around this time. Currently driving to down the hatch to get some food. Honorary mention to the bald head Caucasian man who ignore us with glasses 🥸

Came here 15 years ago then again in September and it was exactly as I remembered it. The divey-ist dive in Nola. Great for late night snacks but yeah probably not the cleanest. Decent drink specials and always open. Great tots and fried pickles.

This might be the dirtiest dive bar I have ever been to, and I loved it. Many reviews say there are rats here(think how many places have them and you just didn't know), and my wife saw one but don't let that steer you away from this little gem. I recommend the crawdad boil, you can't go wrong. Beers were good and place was fun. Seriously, just get the crawdad boil and beers and you will be just fine.

The grits they make are the best you'll ever have - and I'm not much of a grits enthusiast. It's a combination of shrimp, sausage, smoked gouda, and without exaggeration and total honesty: a MASTERPIECE. The crayfish boil is also excellent. Drinks are not overpriced. Atmosphere is dive bar, but in a genuine way. Staff was friendly. Honestly, it's kind of a mind blowing hidden gem.

My Husband and I had the best stay here. We were in town celebrating my Birthday for Labor Day weekend. The room was spacious and clean. The lighting was perfect. I loved the vanity space. The hospitality was unmatched. We enjoyed the roof top pool and happy hour. Thank you for such an amazing stay

Even better than the photos. Other hotels have cute shared spaces, and Virgin Hotel New Orleans definitely DOES have a beautifully curated "funny library" coffee area and gorgeous dining room, but the guest rooms here are just as special--and in my experience, a lot of the time, the beauty ends at the guest room door. Our suite had an awesome layout. A hallway containing a vanity/desk with perfect lighting for getting ready led to the lounge area (big enough for a full sectional, a dining table, a minibar with minifridge and sink), but straight ahead was the bathroom. The toilet was sectioned off WITH ITS OWN SINK, then we entered the larger sink getting-ready area which also had awesome lighting. Honestly, if my lighting was this good all the time, I would never want to wear makeup. The next section was a huge walk-in tiled shower with a bench, rain shower, AND a showerhead you can use if you don't want to get your hair wet--THANK YOU. The bedroom had a king bed and electric shades, plus a TV, side tables, and another small sitting area. I LOVE when I have somewhere to sit down in my outside clothes other than the bed. It really was the peak of luxury, with the slippers and the robe that were really hard not to buy for at-home. My only critique was the flashing safety light in the bedroom, but I had an eye mask, so it was fine. The room was quiet despite being close to the elevator, super clean, too. There was an issue with my bill at the end, but Frankie fixed it and explained it with a single phone call. Great location. The food and coffee were delicious and not all that overpriced for being in a 4-star hotel in a tourist district! And the service was great, too.

My spouse and I stayed here for a Saints game and a few days following. Valet was top-tier! I never waited long for my vehicle, Justin greeted us upon arrival and helped us with a bellman! Jermani and Marvin in valet were also very kind and helpful. The front desk area can get a little crowded from check-in...etc but the area was always cleared out quickly without feeling congested for long. The rooms were extremely quiet and all the staff truthfully were extremely attentive! We loved the closeness of the hotel from Uptown to Frenchman! We would definitely stay again! The decor & ambiance was similar to other Virgin Hotels we have stayed in! Zero complaints!

We had a great time at the Virgin Hotels New Orleans! Located in the Warehouse District, we were walking distance from lots of restaurants, bars, and attractions. The hotel was so fun and inviting, very colorful and open. Our room was spotless and spacious, with city views. We had breakfast each morning at the Commons Club downstairs, serving delicious NOLA bites. The Funny Library Coffee shop was very convenient for quick bites and coffee. But my favorite area was the Pool Club located on the rooftop! It has a pool, with full bar, lounging areas and panoramic views. And at night, it turns into a party scene. The service was wonderful throughout our stay. Special thanks to Latrell for the warm welcome and assistance. Overall, I highly recommend you stay here and can’t wait to come back.

Fabulous and jazzy decor! So fun and staff was outstanding. Food was amazing, particularly the breakfast in the library. Chef is very creative. The crew at the breakfast coffee bar were true baristas. Cappuccino was spot-on. It was so fun, beautiful and funky with an interior design that was out of the box! Location is so nice and within walking distance of some great restaurants if you want to leave the hotel. Isaac, valet; top notch. We are coming back

5-star experience! Every inch of the hotel, from the lobby to the bar, the room, roof top and every space in-between was beautifully appointed, thoughtfully designed and stunning! As others have mentioned, the pictures online do not do it justice. The staff were very friendly and the location was perfect. 15-minute walk to the French Quarter, short streetcar ride to the Garden District, and situated in the quiet business district. We had a fabulous time and will absolutely stay again!!

This is a great hotel in a great location (though I should note it’s about a 15 min walk to the edge of the French Quarter…a benefit in my opinion). Very peaceful and quiet, great service, decent restaurant and bar situation and very easy valet parking (though $55/night which is a little lame). Shout out to my man Justin on the valet team! He was the first and last person we saw during our stay and he was very helpful and friendly both times!

The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and offered fantastic beer recommendations. The food from Sidecar (which you can order from the bar) was absolutely fantastic as well. Overall, a fantastic place to watch football

Had a great time with friends, watched the Saints vs. Falcons game, environment was awesome, such a great vibe our server was amazing as well. We will definitely go back when in town. Definitely loved it!!!

Amazing little place with great service and an amazing whiskey selection at the most reasonable prices!

One of my favorite bars in Nola. The good kind of divey, a list of Boilermakers, and you can order from sidecar next door (some of the best raw oysters in Nola, and also their full menu), they'll deliver it right to your seat at the bar.

Great dive bar. Excellent selection.

Some of the best bourbons, whiskies and mixed drinks you can find at very reasonable prices!

Amazing place! It’s like a tardis! You’d never expect the inside to be so good based on the outside!

If I ever owned a bar I would want it to be this one! It is one of those unique bars that represent the people of New Orleans. On the outskirts of the French Quarter she draws in residents and visitors alike who want a slight reprev from the madness of Bourbon Street or a bite to eat with a frosty beverage before heading into the frey. It does get busy at time so be patient and make sure you are ready with your order and payment. Southern hospitality is a thing, but so is saltiness so smile, make new and interesting friends you never know you might just fall in love with NOLA!

Friendly low-key neighborhood bar that is very dog friendly (water bowl and treats). The kitchen opens at 5 p.m. I've only had the pizza, but it was delicious. Bartenders are very friendly.

Love the environment - super busy but worth waiting. Great pizza. Great prices on drinks and the pizza. Love that they have other food options. Food came up fast and love that they’re dog friendly Only suggestion would be to make the drinks a little stronger bc they’re a tiny bit watery. But everything else makes up for it lol

One of my favorite spots in quarter. It is literally like going to your friend's house. Merry people, good food and dogs. The good mood extends around the corner and even across the street with sometimes people setting up a couple of chairs to hang out at a local crawfish boil food truck. I've had some great times here already.

Loved this place!! Cosmo's is what you hope for in an old fashioned bar. Great drinks and fabulous service in a suburban type bar. The decor is traditional dark, glossy wood which gives you that homely comfortable feeling. Immediately relaxing and friendly. The highlight are the amazing bar persons. Hunter and Ashleigh are super friendly and amazingly talented - their cocktails are top shelf quality. Thanks so much Hunter and Ashleigh for backing a couple of old Aussies feel so welcome. You made the experience one to remember. ** Went to Cosmo's again (a victim of habit!!) and received the same great service from Marilyn - many thanks Marilyn. What a great team! Highly recommended local bar. NB. - The lower score on the food is no reflection on the bar. The food caters vary and it just depends on who is catering at the time and if it appeals to you.

Great bartender, great dive off the path. Good prices!!

Good location. GET THE PIZZA! It was hard to get to the order window with so many people at the bar but totally worth the effort and wait. The dough tastes fresh and the cheese is plentiful.

Great dive bar with affordable drink prices. Come in on Monday for Paul’s Red Beans and Rice. Free of charge with a beverage. Feel free to leave a fat tip. It is worth it!

Belinda our bartender was awesome! Super welcoming and had great advice on how to navigate New Orleans!

Fun neighborhood bar to get casade at! Has a vibe 🥰

Popped in as part of the Brews and Clues scavenger tour. Given some excellent reviews I was surprised the bar tender was dismissive and despite the drinks being cheap, the beer was a small plastic cup and the wine wouldn’t even use for salad dressing. But when it comes in a screw top 1.5 litre bottle then what would you expect. If you’re looking to answer the Brews and Clues question then don’t waste your time asking the bar tender

We stopped in on the last night of our trip and loved every minute of it. Our bartender Paul was such a fun and welcoming host with lots of history and stories to share and he mixes up excellent cocktails. Several locals popped in and out while we were there and chatted with us too. It’s a great spot to take a rest and enjoy an old time neighborhood hangout. We hope to come back on a Monday to try Paul’s red beans and rice and another Grandma’s house cocktail! Thank you for closing out our first trip to New Orleans on a high note!

Great little dive bar. Around 5:30-6 on a Friday it was not too crowded and we were able to sit and enjoy a local beer. Service was great, bartenders were friendly. $5 local beer on tap in a plastic cup-you can’t beat that! Also, outdoor seating along the street was available and the indoor space had big fans going and windows open! Parking is just street parking or maybe there’s paid lots somewhere?

A great local hole in the wall bar in the heart of New Orleans. The bartenders were super friendly, and they made awesome mixed drinks. Definitely will go back again.

Nothing to write home about, especially in a city like NO. I ordered the fried chicken thigh with the seafood boil seasoning. I enjoyed the flavor and the moistness of the chicken however the breading kept falling off ( the thigh appeared to be skinless with breading on it). I received the potato salad even though I wanted the potatoes. The potato salad had a Smokey flavor which I appreciated. It also had bacon and a Lays chip topping… the bacon added absolutely nothing to the dish and the lays topping while odd was okay. It added crunch and additional salty flavor. In a city like NO you can find better, less expensive, fried chicken with better parking. This place reminds me of Hattie B’s in Nashville, a lot of hype that the restaurant doesn’t live up to.

Just wow! Run don’t walk here! Beyond exceptional chicken, just the right amount of spice, super crispy. And although they are thighs there is no bone but huge pieces so don’t over order like I did. lol Potato salad is amazing. I will be back. They need to put a location in Houston! Best fried chicken I’ve had in ages! And the service was very personal, exceptional. Lastly, you’re going to go crazy for their picnic pulp! Buy a jar before you leave too because you’re going to want this at home!!❤️

I think it was the best fried chicken I’ve had in New Orleans - maybe in the entire states! We ordered the chicken sandwich, fries and a kids menu. All was good and tasty. The employees were kind and friendly and the atmosphere was good with appropriate music outside. All in all, I can really recommend the restaurant.

What a fantastic place. We loved everything we ate - Boudin egg rolls, Pimentón cheese, potato salad, fried chicken sandwich and the salad with chicken thigh. Happy Hour offers also good with excellent cocktails, loved the Vodka gimlet. Can't wait to return and try more of the menu.

The best part of this place is the outdoor seating. The tree provides shade and the street corner isn’t too noisy. They have plenty of indoor seating as well. Order at the counter and then sit down with your number.

I dined-in during SNOLA! Their fried chicken is flavourful, moist, crispy; served steaming hot! The crawfish boil seasoning is the bomb if you like spicy. Most Excellent Happy Hour with $5 bubbles to complement the Spicy Chik! I had the spicy 2- piece Thigh Plate $15, Bubbles $5, and yes...Campfire S'mores $8! Excellent, ftiendly, prompt service (Nolan). I've ordered delivery and also dined in. Defn coming back! Great place to bring out of town visitors who love good fried chicken. And I love that you can rent a picnic basket for 20 bucks; filled with all the supplies. You order the food and drink and bam! Picnic to go!

Service was excellent! The boudin egg rolls were great and so was the fish dip. My chicken sandwich had a nice presentation, however the meat was dry and tough. Based on the other food being great, I'll assume it was a one-off. We'll return again if we're in the area. Outdoor and indoor eating area and a relaxed environment.

Amazing krewe if you want to be in a Mardi Gras parade.

Jackson Square is one of the most charming and lively spots in New Orleans. Surrounded by beautiful historic buildings and the stunning St. Louis Cathedral, it’s the perfect place to take a walk, people-watch, or enjoy local street performers and artists. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of culture you really feel the heart of the French Quarter here. There are also plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby where you can sit and take in the view. It’s a great place for photos and to experience the true soul of New Orleans. Highly recommend visiting both during the day and at night for two totally different but equally magical vibes!

This is a beautiful historic site. I love visiting these kind of places. Sandwiched between the St. Louis Cathedral and the Mississippi River, it is a wonderful setting. Cafe Du Monde is right across the street! There is an open air market all around it with vendors of all types and some street performers also.

Jackson Square was beautiful and a lot of fun. Just watch out for the people trying to "give" you things that you have to buy. The cathedral was beautiful and the street performers were amazing, especially all of the musicians.

A lovely park on the river in New Orleans! There is a lot of space and places to sit, and it certainly is a beautiful space! There are also a lot of historical things around and plaques to read!! I continue to return every time I visit NOLA — it is where I find some of my favorite street performers. :)

So so beautiful! It was busy when we arrived, but not too difficult to walk around. It is very well kept, neat and tidy. No restrooms nearby that I know of though. Café du Monde is also 2 minutes walk from here.

Where do I even start from the artist? I got a beautiful print for $10, the weather was 71° which was perfect. The park was Right next to the trolley and the New Orleans hospitality cannot be beaten. A gentleman made us try beignets with him and coffee and paid for it because he's so proud of his state and what they have to offer. The street performers were so awesome. We need more of this in our life. Connecting with others and nature through food and art. We also check out the hat store and picked up a hat that's right along the side of the park. So there is so much to be offered here as the last stop was the cathedral and the ceiling was amaculate We had lunch at Monty's on the corner of the park a must see.

Jackson Square is absolutely beautiful and a must-see for anyone visiting New Orleans! The park is full of history, charm, and energy — it perfectly captures the spirit of the city. The landscaping is well-kept, and the view of St. Louis Cathedral is stunning, especially when the sunlight hits it just right. What really makes Jackson Square special is the atmosphere — local artists displaying their work along the fences, musicians filling the air with jazz, and the smell of beignets and coffee drifting over from nearby cafés. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit, people-watch, and soak up the culture for hours. Whether you’re exploring the French Quarter for the first time or returning to experience that New Orleans magic again, Jackson Square is an absolute must-visit.

The French Quarters has always been a beautiful place to visit and VERY ACTIVE. It has nostalgia, mystery and overwhelming amount of food, shops and drinks. Unfortunately, with it being a large tourist attractive city, you need to keep a close eye on pick pockets and addicts.

Well I was there, and is not a place to go with kids, a lot of ppl smoking weed , and the atmosphere is not good for kids. It is a street with a lot of places to drink and buy some souvenirs, well it’s a place to visit … from there walking across the street I visited the front of the river and took a boat that was super beautiful view, also you can visit the museum or take a wagon with horses trip … all walking from the bourbon st really near! Was a good experience.

Absolutely love going to burbon street. Love the atmosphere, love the food, love the culture, and love the enertainment. One of my all time favorite places to visit.

Definitely a tourist spot. The parking was horrible & very expensive. Mostly bars & shopping. Put your good walking shoes on or jump on the horse carriage or the tour bus. It's a definite must do at least once!! Lot of homeless people so stay safe

I didn’t get drunk, and I still walked all the way down Bourbon Street. I hear that’s almost illegal.

Jazz and entertainment street. Naturally, it's a noisy place, especially in the evenings. And on weekends, it's practically jam-packed. But if you're in New Orleans, you definitely can't miss Bourbon Street.

It's good for a long weekend. Food is good. No place to just sit and people watch probably due to homeless population at night. Halloween parade in New Orleans was fun.

Amazing poor boys! We loved the buddha shrimp, poor boy, shrimp with green tomato, poor boy, and the red beans and rice. We do not recommend the jambalaya. And don’t over order. Get a half sandwich and a side.

We ordered a beef po-boy dressed mayo on the side. Prices hmmm. It was ok! Mid at best. The place is small and EVERYTHING is old yall been in business for multiple decades upgrade everything your ancestors wont be mad. The bathroom is in need of a deep clean and update it to.

Yoooo what a gem!! It's a small spot, but everyone is very friendly. The shrimp po-boy is amazing!!! Every bite was loaded with tender, juicy shrimp and the bread was super on point fresh. Hands down the best ever shrimp Po-Boys I've had...I could have eaten 2 more of them easily. Love the local atmosphere and vibe. love this place, when I come back to NOLA 100% going again. 100% recommend!

After walking for hours, and finding Johnny po boys. My husband had the catfish poboy an I the gumbo, rice n beans. Yum!! Small place… not many tables. But quick turn around. Wait few minutes. Someone done. Next

The catfish po boy was mediocre fish had no seasoning bread was not toasted and was very chewy...The alligator sausage was good. There was no crowd and service was fast and courteous though... for New Orleans which is known for great seasoning i was very disappointed. Food did not match the rating and reviews it has received.

The old school po boy spit vibe is unique if you never experienced before. I got some voodoo shrimp po boy which was okay but can be much better. As a tourist, they only take cash and food is okay. Lower your expectations and enjoy a sandwich.

This place stayed busy and had a line out the door the ENTIRE time we were there. I had the fried green tomatoes and shrimp po boy. Was pretty good. But surprisingly the turkey club po boy tasted even better. Talk about shocked. Have been waiting YEARS to eat a po boy bc I wanted an authentic one and this place didn't disappoint. We also tried the gumbo and jambalaya. They were ok. Nothing to really rave about. Will definitely be back!!!

The food was awesome. I got the vietnamese bread banquette and loved it. I would recommend this place for the food. The ingredients were clean as well. The service wasn’t the best though. My family arrived right as the restaurant opened at 5, and the woman who welcomed us in was not very inviting or kind. It felt like she wanted to help us as fast as possible so she could sit down on her phone. I understand that the service industry is difficult and usually i can overlook these sort of things, but this waitress was so offputting and unhelpful. It also took ~40 minutes for the food to arrive. Great food but not sure if i would visit again or recommend this place which is unfortunate
