 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 [Read more …]  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 [Read more …]  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.
