NEIGHBORHOODS PAT O' BRIEN'S ©Maggie Heller FRENCH QUARTER 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 32
