The New Orleans School of Cooking is an absolute blast. We recommend signing up for a Demo on a free morning or afternoon. During the demo, the chef will break down the traditions and technique behind some of souths best foods and you get to watch the dishes be prepared and taste them once they are done. All while sipping some fine local beer!

We had an absolute blast doing a swamp tour at Jean Lafitte Swamp tours. Joseph's parents Jana and Dwight joined us for one during one of their summer visits and we had so much fun! Its a really neat way to see some true Louisiana wildlife.

The Hot Tin bar is an excellent place to see the whole spread of downtown New Orleans. You can go for a cocktail or dinner and soak up the sights. I took Kayla here on our 3rd date and we enjoyed it thoroughly, as you can see from the elevator selfie on the way down.

Kayla and I had a blast breaking out of one of the escape rooms at The Escape Game. We didn't break any records, but we definitely had some fun!

Bowling is always such a blast, even if it's your first time, you'll have so much fun. There are a few choices to make when finding an Alley. A good downtown option would be Fulton Alley and if you're up for a little car ride, Colonial Lanes has good lane prices and cheap pitchers!
