"This breakfast and lunch spot is a local favorite on Magazine Street. Slim Goodies serves classic comfort food with bold twists, all made with fresh ingredients (and lots of love). Everyone loves the slammers: hash browns slathered in something delicious – think crawfish étouffée or chili with bacon and cheddar cheese – but the sweet potato pancakes are not to be missed."

"Come for a seafood martini, stay for the crispy whole flounder at Pelican Club, chef Richard Hughes' French Quarter dinner spot that specializes in Creole cooking. Local sourcing and innovative twists on traditional dishes have made this beautiful spot on Exchange Place a go-to for locals since 1990—and it truly never disappoints. Taste the scallop stuffed artichoke, followed by the trio of ducklings and you'll already be making return reservations by the time you pay the bill."

15 New Orleans Neighborhood Restaurants You Need in Your Life
"There are other Creole restaurants with more gravitas, and certainly more widespread acclaim, but right now, packed-to-the-rafters, thoroughly unstuffy Neyow’s feels like the one you’re looking for. Gumbo, chargrilled oysters, fried chicken, a decent Shrimp creole, red beans and rice with spicy local sausage, delicious sides of carrot souffle and a pudding-like macaroni and cheese, bell peppers stuffed with shrimp and crab, you’re having it all, along with—if you dare—the signature Bow Wow rum drink, which comes in what is perhaps the largest go cup in existence."
Mentioned by Oprah Daily
The Famous New Orleans Foods to Add to Your Culinary Bucket List
"Owned by Tanya and Timothy Dubuclet, the restaurant’s recipes were handed down from their grandmothers. They like to say that “Neyow’s is one of the most recommended restaurants by Uber drivers and hotel concierges,” a.k.a. those in the know. Their red beans and rice is a Monday special that has become a weekly tradition amongst locals and is served with a choice of fried chicken, grilled pork chops, or hot sausage."

"This waterfront park is our favorite spot in the city for taking in the Mississippi. Enter over the enormous arch at Piety and Chartres Streets, or at the steps at Marigny and N Peters Streets, and watch the fog blanket the nearby skyline. A promenade meanders past an angular metal-and-concrete conceptual "wharf" (placed next to the burned remains of the former commercial wharf)."

"This park was created in 2014, when a formerly derelict area of the city near the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods was targeted for redevelopment. The park runs along the river; it is 1.4 miles long and is spread out over 20 acres. The main attraction in the park, apart from the pleasant green spaces, is the Piety Street Bridge."

"Just outside of the French Quarter is Louis Armstrong Park, a public space honoring the jazz musician it was named after. Inside, there are iconic sites like Congo Square, a historic meeting place for slaves in the 1800s. There are also sculptures, a duck pond and plenty of green space where you can relax after spending your morning walking around the city."

"There aren’t a ton of green spaces in downtown New Orleans, so Louis Armstrong Park, just outside the French Quarter, is a welcome option. Given its proximity to the city’s culture, the park has also become a hub for festivals and seasonal events. It’s a well-designed, landscaped spot that packs a lot into 32 acres."
