A Simple, Incomplete List of Where to Eat, Drink, Shop, & Stay in New Orleans, LA
To think that I could even scratch the surface with recommendations for what to do during a trip to New Orleans would be naive to the culinary weight this city truly carries. In many ways, New Orleans is best experienced through a slow stoll, allowing your senses to lead you before your list. But, it’s also a lot to take in in one sitting, so having a sense of direction will be helpful. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, so dabbling, dancing, and dining along the way will allow you to taste and experience a full experiential tasting menu of everything New Orleans has to offer. Eat often, drink often, and be merry - there’s no place like it on this side of Heaven.
