Guidebook for New Orleans- Some of our favorites
Food Scene
If we seem obsessed with places to eat that is because THIS IS NEW ORLEANS!! Here are some of our favorite places to eat, mostly uptown and near by. We haven't listed many of the "famous" places, unless it's a favorite, because you will find out about those on your own. But in NOLA, the local neighborhood places can be every bit as great as the big names.
Just a neighborhood place with great, fresh po boys. Among the best in town, and our favorite. They get busy cause everything is made to order. Expect to wait or call in advance to order and pick up.

Another neighborhood joint - a classic and legendary place in the 'hood. Get in line, place your order, then go to the bar and get your drink and wait for a table. The roast beef po boy is a 12-15 napkin po boy!!

The best locally made gelato in town. A classic, old time, family owned NOLA place in Mid-City. Also has great Italian bakery items and cappuccino. Often has a line, but it goes fast and they have a good amount of seating inside. We'd go all the time if our waists allowed!

City Park is just wonderful and has so much is going on - a great place to go, with or without kids. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina flooded and decimated the entire park, which is one of the largest in all of North America. Every building, hundreds of old oaks, and all its equipment were severely impacted. But, City Park has returned with vengeance, and is now so worth a visit. Not only is it a beautiful display of urban nature with its stately trees and ancient lagoons in the middle of mid-city, but so much cultural and recreational development has gone on there since 2005 - the Sculpture Garden, the Botanical Garden , the return of 2 golf courses, miniature golf, Storybook Land, the Children's Museum, and of course, The N.O. Museum of Arts. Oh, and be sure to have beignets and coffee at the old casino, just near the arch bridge and the bandstand, while you are there!

Magazine Streetwhich is 3 blocks from the house runs from downtown all the way, parallel to the river, to River Road at river bend and represents so much that is really NOLA- architecture, great food, unique shopping, and of course, the people. It is real - not there just for tourists, though you are welcome of course. Several different sections have great shopping and eating, most of them local places with few national brands. So, pick an area, and WALK, EAT, SHOP! Our place is close to a couple of great sections for this. You can take Magazine 'uptown' from Napoleon all the way to Audubon Park (about a 40 minute stroll), and do very well thank you. (That is our part of Magazine!) Or go downtown from Napoleon Ave, too. The most concentrated section of shopping and eating will be from Louisiana Ave to Washington Ave, and then again in the garden district, from Jackson Ave to Felicity.

Magazine Street
Magazine StreetMagazine Streetwhich is 3 blocks from the house runs from downtown all the way, parallel to the river, to River Road at river bend and represents so much that is really NOLA- architecture, great food, unique shopping, and of course, the people. It is real - not there just for tourists, though you are welcome of course. Several different sections have great shopping and eating, most of them local places with few national brands.
