6th-largest urban public park in the US, approx. 50% larger than Central Park in NYC. Holds the world's largest collection of mature live oak trees. Founded in 1853, one of the oldest parks in the US.
Go here if you want to view authentic aspects of the Mardis Gras culture. Chief Richard Lewis is a cultural scholar and true community servant. A human history book.
Wonderful little museum with lots of info on the history of voodoo. Take as many picture as you like- they encourage it! Lots of great goodies in the gift shops. Gris gris bags, voodoo dolls, & more.
Come at 4am and eat your beignets with the local musicians. Pro tip: dont breathe out of your nose whilst beigneting unless you want a powder sugar face.
Get there early & enjoy your food in a relatively quiet & peaceful bar setting, or get there late, dance your ass off, & feed your soul. Get the patatas bravas & thank us later. [Eater 38 Member]
Located in an old plantation house, the service is formal but the atmosphere is fun. Head over for the best Sunday brunch in the Big Easy - and try the absinthe-and-bacon-poached oysters!
