New Orleans is one of my favorite places to visit for a quick trip. The food scene is unmatched, but the city is so vibrant and full of culture that just draws you in.

Café du Monde is an iconic New Orleans staple where hot, pillowy beignets buried in powdered sugar and café au lait are a rite of passage.

This was such a fun experience! A little loud, but you really see a lot of gators and it's fun to see them use the marshmallows and hot dogs to attract them.
New Orleans Airboat Ride
Free drinks and a very interesting history lesson? Sign me up! This was a fun place to tour and fascinating to learn about the first ever cocktail.

Think of Frenchman as Bourbons classy older sister. Still fun energy, but think more live Jazz and a more mature audience.
