Get Your Mojo Workin' in New Orleans

Around Town

NOLA is steeped in history, both the cultural and the creepy. Easy your way into the Big Easy with a city tour. I recommend the Three Hour City Tour, to visit the French Quarter, the Lower 9th Ward, Garden District, the Warehouse District, Lake Lawn Metairie and ending at the St. Louis Chapel. Or if you prefer a little more freedom, do my personal favorite, the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tour. Make your own itinerary or I can help you, and explore over 30 must see attractions.

Music

To visit the birth place of Jazz and not "jazz it up" is sacrilegious! To immerse yourself in the rhythm of the city, don't miss the Steamboat Natchez Evening Jazz Cruise with its enchanting live jazz performances against the backdrop of the Mississippi River. For an intimate jazz bar experience, head to the legendary Preservation Hall, where the soulful melodies of jazz have been celebrated for decades.

Restless Spirits

If you're up for a thrill that goes beyond music and history, brace yourself for the "New Orleans Original Ghost, Voodoo, Vampire, and Mystery Tour." It's like a supernatural rollercoaster through the city's mystical underbelly. But wait, it gets spookier! If you're feeling exceptionally fearless, venture on a walking tour of the St. Louis Cemetery, where the spirits of the past might just make an appearance. And, of course, for those who need a little liquid courage to handle restless spirits, the "Haunted Pub Crawl" is the way to go. Because in New Orleans, even spirits need spirits!

Pressed for time but craving the full New Orleans culinary experience? Well, my hungry friend, food tours are your fast track to flavor town. Head to the French Quarter and dive into the delectable world of Creole and Cajun cuisine. I'd personally recommend the Original Flavors Food Tour or the New Orleans French Quarter Food Adventure for a taste of the city's culinary soul. But, here's a sweet twist to kickstart your day: before you embark on your foodie adventure, hop over to the Garden District for the Underground Donut & Beignet Tour. Because, let's be honest, every great day should start with a sugar rush!

If you find yourself with some leisurely hours to spare, here's a plan to savor New Orleans' culinary and nightlife delights. Start with a leisurely brunch at Messina's At the Terminal or savor a classic Po'boy at Rodosta's Restaurant. When it comes to seafood, you've got choices aplenty. Dive into deliciousness at GW Fins or Olde Nola Cookery for a seafood feast that'll make your taste buds dance. As the sun sets, it's time to embrace the vibrant nightlife. Stroll down Bourbon Street and make a pit stop at Bourbon Street Drinkery. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, venture to Famous Door, The Bulldog or Bruno's Tavern for a night filled with music, laughter and the spirit of NOLA.
