Historic, romantic, and charming, the French Quarter is many things. Boring is not one of them. STAY Whether you prefer a quaint, tucked-away inn or a hotel right in the middle of the bustling French Quarter, you’ll find the perfect accommodations in this quintessential New Orleans neighborhood. EAT Sample classic New Orleans cuisine at decades-old Galatoire’s or Arnaud’s or keep it casual and grab a meal at Johnny’s Po-Boys. You can’t visit New Orleans without sampling seafood, so visit Acme Oyster House or Deanie’s Seafood for a taste of the Gulf. DRINK Historic bars like Pat O’ Brien’s, local hangouts, clubs on Bourbon Street, craft cocktail lounges, and lush cabarets fill the area. Catch a traditional jazz show at Preservation Hall or Fritzel’s European Jazz Club during your evening out. SHOP Shopping in the French Quarter means antiques, art, jewelry, clothes, and one-of-a-kind gifts. Browse the artifacts at M.S. Rau, situated on gallery-rich Royal Street. Stop into Frank Relle Photography for a print of natural Louisiana or The Historic New Orleans Collection for an only-in-NOLA gift. SEE & DO With so much culture, history, and entertainment, you’ll find a unique and exciting experience around every corner. Take a cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking, see a 360-degree view of the city from high atop Vue Orleans, visit Audubon Aquarium and Audubon Insectarium, or take a Mississippi River cruise on a historic riverboat.
