Will N: "6th-largest urban public park in the US, approx. 50% larger than Central Park in NYC. Holds the world's largest collection of mature live oak trees. Founded in 1853, one of the oldest parks in the US."
Serious Eats: "A wine & cheese shop, serious kitchen, live music venue, and fun bar all rolled into one. Hand the cheese you buy to the cashier along with $5; you'll get extra grilled bread & cheese plate fixin's."
Djaniella D.: "Hands down the best iced coffee in all of the city. I'm an iced coffee fanatic & when visiting NOLA, I was absolutely amazed. The hint of chicory, light sweetness, & shaken w/ the ice to finish.. wow."
gala daftary: "The fried chicken kimchi was great. Their gumbo was delicious. Cute place, great service. The signature cocktails are not to be missed."
Hudson Sutler: "Everyone is going to try and tell you to stay near the French Quarter- do yourself a favor and instead stay in the Garden District where the best restaurants, bars and shops are all an easy walk."
Gloria Chin: "best-preserved Southern mansions in the US in this lushly historic district, bordered by St. Charles to the north, First Street to the east, Magazine Street to the south & Toledano Street to the west"
The Ritz-Carlton: "Named for ornithologist and painter John James Audubon, this lushly-landscaped park first opened in 1898. Walk, run, bicycle or relax, all while enjoying the park's abundant wildlife."
Jackie Hammers-Crowell: "This is one of my favorite places to go for a walk. There is a great biking/jogging/walking trail that goes through live oaks, around some ponds and gives nice views all the way around."
Pandora Kat: "As a photographer a joy to shoot. The history of the city lives here in magnificence w/the Cathedral, Cabildo, Andrew Jackson & stunning buildings. Plenty of unique shops & across from Cafe du Monde."
Bree: "Get coupons at visitor center in square. Samples at the praline shops, but the best are Evan's. Forget Cafe du Monde, go a couple doors over for $6 coffee& beignets deal! Do Natchez River cruise"
