New Orleans is small and has decent transportation options, so you probably won't need to rent a car unless you're planning to stay outside the city or go on day trips (plantations, swamp tours, etc.)

Here are some easy options for getting around the city:

Bikes: New Orleans is flat and biking is the best way to avoid traffic. Blue Bikes (bike share) are available throughout Downtown, the Garden District, and Midcity. You can rent them by the minute.

Streetcar: The three main street car routes (St. Charles, Canal, and Rampart-St. Claude) can get you to most places in the city. $1.25 per ride, or $3 for a day pass (make sure to have exact change).

Bus: The Magazine St. line is a good alternative to getting uptown if the streetcar is crowded. $1.25 per ride, or $3 for a day pass (make sure to have exact change).

Uber/Lyft: Easily available and very convenient. If you don't know how to do this, your nearest millennial should be able to assist.

Taxi: United Taxi is your best bet. 504-522-9771.

We love to eat. Here are a few of our favorites places to go:

Casual:

Pizza Delicious - The best pizza in New Orleans. Even pretentious New Yorkers like it.

Elizabeth's - The line for brunch is long, but for good reason. Try the praline bacon.

Cochon Butcher - For our vegetarian guests.

Turkey and the Wolf - This place is always packed thanks to Bon Appetit Magazine naming it the best new restaurant in America last year (thanks a lot, yankees).

Tan Dinh - If you have a car and are willing to cross the bridge to the West Bank, this is the best Vietnamese food in NOLA.

Lilly's - If you're not gonna go to the Westbank, this is your next best option for great Vietnamese food.

Parkway Bakery and Tavern - Best poboys around. Order THE PEACEMAKER, you won't regret it.

Cafe DuMonde - The original home of beignets and cafe au lait. Touristy, but you gotta do it.

Dat Dog - Want a $8 hot dog? Here ya go.

Company Burger - Two words: MAYONNAISE BAR.

Pascal's Manale - Stand up at the bar for raw oysters shucked in front of you, or sit down for delicious BBQ shrimp.

Any gas station that looks shady but also serves fried chicken.

Fancy Schmancy:

Coquette- Steph's favorite place to pretend to be classy.

Commander's Palace - The O.G. New Orleans fine dining experience. They serve 25 cent martinis at lunch!

Meril- Emeril's cooler, younger, hipper restaurant.

Pêche - Seafood paradise.

Bacchanal - This wine shop/cocktail bar has a beautiful backyard space with live music every night. Great food and cheese plates too!

The Carousel Bar @ Hotel Monteleone - The bar spins!

Take a brewery crawl down Tchoupitoulas Street and hit NOLA Brewery, Urban South Brewery, Courtyard Brewery, and Port Orleans Brewery.

Barrel Proof - Famous for being where Steph and David had their first date. Huge selection of whiskey. Fancy cocktails if you're into that. Shot/beer combos if you're not.

Superior Seafood - Great happy hour from 4-6:30 with 50 cent oysters (Fannie Choy's favorite!!)

Lafitte's Black Smith Shop - The oldest bar in New Orleans, lit by candles only. Try a purple drink!

Erin Rose - One of the few Bourbon Street bars frequented by locals. Grab a frozen Irish coffee and a Killer Po' Boy in the back.

Tracey's - Grab a shot and a beer and walk to the corner of Fourth Street to see the historical home in which David once resided.

(For a full list of sleazy dive bars, please contact David directly)

Crescent Park - Amazing views of the city and lots of insta-ready backdrops to get ALL the likes.

Music on Frenchmen Street - Wander in and out of the music clubs on Frenchmen until you hear something you like.

Cemetery Tour - Get SPOOOOOOOOKY.

Royal Street - Take a stroll and check out the art galleries and antique shops.

Magazine Street - Tons of boutiques, bars, and restaurants. Our favorite stretch is the Irish Channel, betweeen Lousiana Ave. and Jackson Ave.

National World War II Museum - A must-see for history lovers.

Tarot Readings in Jackson Square - Pay an old lady to tell you when you'll die.

City Park - rent kayaks, play disc golf, and see some art.

Bourbon Street - If you must, make sure you wear closed toed shoes.
