Things To Do In New Orleans

Have you been to New Orleans? Did you know that there are so many things you can do while you are there. It is not only that people come here for Mardi gras festival but there are some more things that you should consider to visit while in there.

1. BOURBON STREET = “Laissez les bons temps rouler” (let the good times roll). This is the best party you can think off and best party in the planet as people who visit this place are saying. Even it is not Mardi gras this place still have full of energy party are keep on going.

2. JACKSON SQUARE = you can go on a tour riding on decorated carriages and equally festooned donkeys. While you are on the tour the driver will tell you all the history about the area. You can really tell how proud they are for all the accomplishments.

3. THE GARDEN DISTRICT = here you will able to see mansion with nice and beautiful flowerbeds.

4. ROYAL/MAGAZINE STREETS = if you love art galleries, estate jewelry and fine antiques this is the place for you.

5. MADAM LAMOOSE & HER PSYCHIC POWERS = if you love to know your future what lucks comes ahead then visit this place too. If you are not a fun of Tarot, crystal gazing, throwing bones, analyzing auras and reading palms how about still plan to part with at least $20 for a full reading.

6. PRESERVATION HALL = It’s standing room only and rather Spartan but well worth the visit if you want to see one of the places where jazz had its roots. Don’t worry if you can’t get in, though; the music is loud enough every night that a lot of it will spill into the streets and keep you entertained.

7. THE HISTORIC VOODOO MUSEUM = See how they work their magic in a museum dedicated to voodoo dolls, juju bags, love potions and magical powders.

8. ESPLANADE AVENUE = Italianate and Greek Revival mansions are right around the corner from cheesy storefronts selling overpowering perfumes and neon dildos. This dividing line lane between Faubourg Marigny and the French Quarter is intriguing places to people watch as well as to pick up an occasional bargain in antiques. You can also see the house where painter Edgar Degas did a bit of painting while visiting some of his relatives. Looking for a charming bed and breakfast inn? Esplanade Avenue is highly recommended as the first place you should look; many of them not only cater to families but also welcome family pets.

9. CAFÉ DU MONDE = One of the things that New Orleans is famous for are the square, powdered sugar doughnuts called “beignets”. This café precursor to Starbucks dates back to the 1860’s and is the perfect spot for an evening cup of chicory coffee and relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Just one cautionary note: don’t wear black. Beignets are melt-in-your-mouth delicious but messy and have a way of leaving their evidence all over one’s clothing.

10. COURT OF THE TWO SISTERS = A longstanding N’awlins institution, this restaurant is as famous for its leisurely Sunday champagne brunches as it is for the caliber of Dixieland, blues, and jazz musical talent it rotates through its main dining room and outdoor courtyard during the course of one meal. Don’t plan to get out in less than three hours. Afterwards, schedule a nap. You will definitely need it.
