Where to Eat

Morrow’s – A lively spot mixing Creole comfort food with Korean flavors. Great for brunch, dinner or cocktails with a local twist.

Elizabeth’s – A Bywater neighborhood gem for breakfast known for funky Southern dishes (don’t miss the praline bacon!).

Bearcat Café – Perfect for breakfast or brunch, with something for both “good cats” (lighter, healthier plates) and “bad cats” (indulgent classics).

Clover Grill – A Bourbon Street classic since 1939, this quirky 24-hour diner is famous for its juicy burgers cooked under hubcaps and its all-day breakfast menu. It’s the perfect late-night (or early-morning) stop when you’re soaking in the French Quarter energy.

Kilwins – Located in the heart of the French Quarter on Decatur Street, Kilwins offers handcrafted ice cream, chocolates and fudge. It’s the perfect place to cool off after a stroll through the Quarter or treat yourself to something sweet while exploring

Pelican Club – An intimate spot for fine dining with a New Orleans flair—perfect for a special night out.

Where to Play

Tropical Isle – Home of the famous Hand Grenade cocktail. It’s strong, it’s sweet, and it’s a Bourbon Street tradition.

Willie’s Chicken Shack – Crispy fried chicken, daiquiris to-go, and live music make this a fun stop when exploring the French Quarter.

Frenchmen Street – If Bourbon Street is the heart of the party, Frenchmen Street is the soul of New Orleans nightlife. Just a few blocks from the French Quarter, this stretch is lined with jazz clubs, bars, and restaurants where live music spills onto the sidewalks every night. It’s a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike who want to experience authentic New Orleans music and a lively—but slightly less touristy—scene.
