The perfect afternoon activity. Get some steps in, admire 750+ year-old oak trees and enjoy some funky art.

If it's your first time in New Orleans, you MUST go stroll through the streets of the French Quarter. Enjoy a Pimm's cup at Napoleon House, scarf down a muffuletta at Central Grocery and Deli or grab some beignets from Cafe Du Monde.

One of our favorite spots to grab a drink, and self-explanatory by name: an indoor, carousel bar at the Monteleone Hotel.

Enjoy the views of the Mississippi River while listening to live Jazz and eating some good southern food on a riverboat cruise!

If you're interested in learning a little southern history on your trip there are tons of tour options in and around the heart of the city. Our favorite is the New Orleans Adults-Only Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Tour, linked here!

The bride's father's #1 recommendation. Everyday memories of WWII. The museum closes at 5PM and it's advised to reserve 3-4 hours to see it in entirety.
