Food
Comfort food with a NOLA twist, always hits the spot!
New Orleans Food and Spirits
From the family of the infamous Dooky Chase restaurant, soul food like you won’t believe
Chapter IV
Great spot for a night out or happy hour, in perfect location to downtown
Morrow Steak
Best bbq in the city IMO. Great location - literally walking distance to the infamous City Park or hop a streetcar to your the rest of Mid-City and take you into downtown NOLA or walk across the street for a snowball at Pandora’s, the best in the cit...
Blue Oak BBQ
A local delicacy, a snoball is the dessert of New Orleans! Pandora’s is my fav and a local gem, in walking distance to City Park and if you’re craving even more, cross the street to Blue Oak BBQ.
Pandora's Snoballs | New Orleans LA
Amazing Jamaican cuisine + even better ambiance
14 Parishes
Newest restaurant under the Morrow Hospitality portfolio and this one does not miss: Caribbean food that is sooo good and the vibes feel like I’m in Tulum. His other notable spots include: Morrow’s, Morrow Steak, Sun Chong and Monday.
Spicy Mango (@spicymangonola) · New Orleans, LA
Cutest neighborhood restaurant in the Lakeview area of NOLA! $5 red beans + rice on Mondays but the Caesar salad is my fav, it’s only $7 on Thursdays and the ambiance here is just so warm + welcoming.
Junior's on Harrison
Stay
The champagne bar in the lobby is the perfect pre-event stop or just hang here and people watch all day!
Luxury Hotel French Quarter New Orleans | Four Seasons Hotel
One of NOLA’s newer hotels in the very popular Garden District neighborhood. Steps away from the infamous St. Charles Ave where you can ride the streetcar, beautiful boutique-style property with luxe rooms and a resort-style pool to die for. This is ...
The Garden District Hotel
Sister hotel of Garden District. Much more intimate and cozy vibe with upscale and modern touches. Super cute patio and pool situation that you can also purchase pool passes for if you’re not a hotel guest.
The Blackbird Hotel
Drink
Cute new cafe in St. Roch neighborhood, 10 minutes from the French Quarter! Black woman-owned and they host fun events as well.
St. Noir Cafe New Orleans
A true NOLA staple in the heart of the French Quarter - and yes - it actually spins!
Carousel Bar & Lounge - Hotel Monteleone, French Quarter
New late night spot with perfect, intimate vibes. You can eat here as well but it’s best for drinks in my opinion.

To-Do
B Mike is one of NOLA’s most profound artists and does so much for the city. His studio is a MUST when you visit.
STUDIO BE NEW ORLEANS
The ultimate destination in NOLA, this place is literally a symbol of our city. The center and pinnacle of the French Quarter, great for photo ops or to just hang out and people watch. Leads to the world renowned St. Louis Cathedral.
Jackson Square
The spa for all the glam girlies, this place is super cute and perfect for a girls’ gathering or solo date!
Ashley Sievert
If you’re visiting during fall, no better place to experience the WhoDat Nation than inside the Superdome! Win or lose, nothing beats a Saints game with the best fans in the league.
Caesars Superdome
