New Orleans Restaurants and Hotel

New Orleans Restaurants Compere Lapin turned out to be our favorite New Orleans restaurant on this trip. Although we usually share different dishes, we were both so intrigued by the sound of the fried oyster sandwich (topped with a moderately-spiced pickled vinaigrette salad and pineapple tartar sauce) and a side of house-made fennel chips that […]

New Orleans has much more than jazz. If you go there, check out New Orleans Museums. National WWII Museum Our single longest activity (outside the Jazz Festival) was a return visit to the incredible National WWII Museum. As on our last visit, we easily spent an entire day there. The museum continues to add new […]

We just can’t seem to get enough of New Orleans. Our last visit was in 2016. We timed this visit around the 49th anniversary of the New Orleans Jazz Festival. And what a fitting ending to a trip that began in Nashville’s Country and Western honky-tonks and progressed through Memphis’ blues bars and its origin […]

Eating In New Orleans, Louisiana

December 28, 2015 Leave a Comment

We love the food in New Orleans…at least for a short time period. Our bodies are not accustomed to so much rich and fried food. But as long as we were there, we made a valiant effort to enjoy as much as we could (and to walk a lot to get rid of the calories). […]

Day Tripping From New Orleans: Bayou and Plantation Country and Metairie

Oak Alley Plantation 01

While we were in New Orleans, we rented a car for the day to spend a little time exploring some areas outside of the city. After about an hour expressway drive west, almost to Baton Rouge, we exited the highway and followed the Great River Road partway back, past a flame-belching oil refinery and an […]

New Orleans Garden District

On this trip to New Orleans, we stayed on Saint Charles Avenue in the heart of the Garden District, making it the first time we really took the opportunity to explore this lovely neighborhood. We spent most of our time on the Avenues that lead through the Warehouse District and downtown to the French Quarter. […]
