Going to New Orleans this Summer: WTF to do?
The wife, myself, and another couple are going to New Orleans for 4 nights this summer.

For those who have been there...what do you recommend?

I will be 32 at the time of the trip. I am an outdoors guy. Love the water. Love Beer. Love 'some' seafood. Not a huge wild and crazy night guy....I'd rather sit in a 'chill' environment with a pint in hand.

Your hotel is right on the trolly line. Buy a Jazzy Pass and ride it up Saint Charles all the way to the end of the line. Beautiful architecture and history in the Garden District and Uptown. If you are into live music, the Maple Leaf Bar is my favorite live venue in the world. Also, there are some good venues on Frenchman Street in the Marigny. Also worth checking out who is playing at Tipitinas and Rock and Bowl.

For food, I recommend Parkway Bakery for Po Boys, Jacques Imos for Cajun and Casementos on Magazine for oysters.

Btw, only walk in larger groups at night downtown and in the quarter.



Christ...should we leave our hotel at night?

Yes, but be aware of your surroundings. In the Quarter in particular just stay on the beaten path and you'll be fine. At night, stay away from the Armstrong Park side. When in doubt, take a cab. Not trying to scare you, I just read the Times Picayune daily and it's been a bit worse than normal lately. FWIW, I walked all over at night without a problem but know the town like the back of my hand.

Go during the winter. I was there auditing a store in October and it was still hot and muggy. But I'm from Western Kansas where there is no humidity. It ****ing melts my ass like a Hershey bar in a hot car.

We saw some plantation, hell if I know the name, but it was pretty awesome.

Don't go to Bourbon Street if you aren't in the night scene. There isn't anything there for you.

I had a shitty ass time because we did all the wrong things.

Maple Leaf Bar and Jacque Imos are great suggestions. Also, Commander's Palace, Drago's, Mother's (for breakfast), and Cochon Butcher (amazing). As far as stuff to do: plantation house tours, fishing on Ponchartrain, WW2 museum, aquarium, stumbling around the French Quarter drunk, etc. etc. NOLA is a fantastic place to visit.

Yep. I dislike oysters, but chargrilled oysters are ****ing awesome. Also, **** Cafe du Monde. Overrated shit. It's just a funnel cake. Skip it.

Head on over to Mothers and get you a poboy. You'll have to wait in quite a line, but it's definitelu worth it.

Also, the French Quarter smells like a dirty nutsack mixed with ebola ass during the heat of the summer.

Don't be afraid of gas station food. There is better food in gas stations in Louisiana than in most towns altogether.

If you have a car, take a drive up to Baton Rouge. It's only an hour, hour and a half away. Capital city, some of the best gumbo and jambalaya around. And their specialty is boudin balls. Best. ****ing. Thing. Ever.
