A bit weird, but interesting. In the spring and fall, the Angola Prison Rodeo brings huge crowds.

Aside from being the site of Jazz Fest, the Fair Grounds are just a great place to kick back, drink bourbon, and bet on horses!

Fancy movie theater with traditional and occasional indie offerings, which serves seat-side drinks and food. They do not allow guests under 18 though due to service of alcohol.

This is a great neighborhood to stroll around in, though later at night, I'd suggest sticking to the busier streets like Royal and Frenchman.

Gorgeous iconic New Orleans cathedral and a must when strolling through the French Quarter. Also midnight Christmas Mass here is gorgeous (and very crowded).

The French Quarter is a must for wandering, exploring, shopping, music, food, and nightlife. I honestly expect it during the daytime, not as much at night. But it's a totally different place, for day and night, so it's worth coming in the afternoon and staying into evening.

This is a little cliche but is actually a really fun way to explore the Mississippi River over the course of a couple of relaxing hours.

This is my favorite of the paddle boats - it offers a fantastic historic narration and a docking and stopover at the Chalmette Battlefield, site of the Battle of New Orleans. It's also a great perspective from which to see the city.

Nearby and a great place to take in the local scene, including bakeries, restaurants, bars, wine bars, beer gardens, juice bars, galleries, shops, yoga, and the Maple Leaf music joint. A 5 minute walk away.

Maple Street is within a 15 - 20 minute walk, and it's a cute little area for eating, shopping, and various other local offerings. It's a hub for students from the nearby universities.

Slightly grungy, always surprising, the St. Claude area is definitely worth exploring. It's not much to look at at first, but has some amazing spots - galleries, grunge bars, amazing plant stores, cool venues.
