Located just off the Riverwalk in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Cafe du Monde is known around the country for its famous beignets. These are square shaped, deep fried donut type desserts sprinkled with confecioner's sugar (Personally, I like mine covered in confectioner's sugar, not just sprink...

We were fortunate to stop at this Plantation instead of all the others. One of the last Creole plantations, beautifully restored to its original color and indoor furniture, it gives an excellent flavor and background of the creation of New Orleans and plantation life.
The tours are given in both F...

Cross posted from New Orleans "Things to do": (Same thing though)
We had booked the tour with transportation from our hotel in New Orleans. The tour bus with our nice Cajun driver Derick showed up punctually at 12:30pm. We got in the cool van and headed towards Laplace about 20 minutes west of N...

This tour I booked with tours by Isabelle (http://www.toursbyisabelle.com/) the lady that brought us there gave us a whole history abour New Orleans (in 2 languages I might add) so time flew, she was very knowledgable! I learned a lot.
The Oak Alley tour was great, the ladies were all in costume...

To not be misleading, the Cajun Pride Swamp Tour is actually based out of Laplace, LA, about 20 minutes west of New Orleans, but since most of you will probably visit New Orleans and then look for things to do in the area I'll post my review in this existing spot. (I'll be cross posting it in Laplac...

It has been over two years since Katrina and little has changed, the hope of the residents is slowly fading. The only thing getting higher in New Orleans is the cost of living and rent.
It is said that a picture tells a thousand words and I am hopeful that is true, I am out of words to describe ...

I guess the best way to describe Bourbon Street in New Orleans is to say “Party!”. This several block long street is home to more bars, pubs, souvenir shops, sex clubs and eateries and is most famous for being the party capital of New Orleans. As the evening gets going the bands start playing ...

This was the first tour I did when I arrived in New Orleans, I got picked up by a taxi outside my hotel and brought to the Bayou. We had a small boat (which I like, I don't like the very big noisy airconditioned touristy boats) and we set off. Now the captain had it in for me fom the start ever sinc...

Oak Alley Plantation has got to be one of the most spectacular antebellum homes in the entire south. It has in fact been referred to as the “Grande Dame of the Great River Road”. You can see why as you near the property. There is a canopy of giant live oak trees that run from the front of the ...

On a hot/humid day in New Orleans I recommend going to the Aquarium of the Americas. It's located at the Mississippi Waterfront, right where the ferry landing is. The IMAX theater is located in the same building and there are great deals if you want to visit both.
Tickets are $17.50 per adult. It'...

My mom, sister, and I visited the Alligator Park on our last day in Natchitoches on the recommendation of a family friend. It was definitley worth the stop. While we were there we were able to hold a three foot long alligator. There really is hundreds of alligators. There are also other animals ...

Along our way to Natchitoches, we stopped at the Gardens of The American Rose Center in Shreveport. We were there the first of April, so the roses were not blooming quite yet. Although the roses were not blooming, other flowers were. The gardens even without the roses were beautiful. The little ...

Audubon Park is located about 6 miles out of the downtown area of New Orleans. The entrance on the St. Charles side is right in front of the universities and is on the streetcar line. A beautiful old park, the oak trees that line the road/walkway keep things shady and cool. Throughout the history of...

vladbah says:
The French Quarter is unique in its own way. Bars, jazz music, beads, and some very uninhibited people crowd the streets beyond the dawn hours. Of course Bourbon Street is the epicenter of the whole area, and it reminded me a bit of the 6th street in Austin. It can be a very fun time and quite unfor...
