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…

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…

The Oak Alley tour was great, the ladies were all in costume…

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 …

We hadn't been on a fat tired sit up high on the bike easy ridong cruiser since we were kids, but that;s how they ride in the flattest city I've ever seen, so that's how the tour went.
Really great guide, the tours are small (Ours was just us, he says he doesn't like to groups bigger than 6 becau…

The Times Picayune called it the "Great Move". Over 19,000 people signed up and participated in this years' Crescent City Classic. The race starts near historic Jackson Square in the French Quarter, takes you through the bustling business district, and then up Esplanade with century hold New Orleans…

Every city large or small everywhere has at least one cemetery. On our trip across the country we tried to stay off freeways as much as possible and because of that we saw cemeteries in each state. Especially in the south-eastern part of the country we found them next door to the local churches. …

The French Quarter area of New Orleans has a dual personality. If you drive or walk through during the day you see the wonderful wrought iron balconies the great brickwork and architecture and narrow streets. But when the sun goes down and lights come on the personality changes. The streets of…

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…

The Natchez Steamboat Cruise is a New Orleans landmark and one of the "most recommended things to do" by tour guides and locals. I won't disagree with that. Though many of the tour guides were somewhat misleading in stating that it was a "cajun dinner". When I think cajun I think gumbos, etouffee, s…

The Wedding Cake House is a beautiful example of the architecture in New Orleans. This house is just one stop along a street of gorgeous homes that you shouldn’t miss. The homes are located a short distance from Magazine Street, Tulane University and Loyola University. Also, a trolley runs alon…

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'…

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…

The water level is quite high down south in swamp territory, and when settlers first began burying their dead here, they would soon be greeted with floating corpses. Creepy! Hence, a new form of burial practice was put into place, and began getting the nomer , "the city of the dead" as the tombs and…
