I’d like to share with you all (or maybe I should say “y’all” as a New Orleans would do!) some great tips<\/strong> about famous and sooo different than ANYTHING else in America New Orleans! Some of the tips come straight from my office friend, Andrea and her friend Shane who definitely know their NOLA!<\/p>\n

You can definitely find\u00a0cheep plane tickets to get to NO. from New York City it took me about 3,5 h one way. You can take $2 airport shuttle E-2 bus from the airport to the CBD but it takes forever to get there. However, there are cabs and Uber\/Lyft drivers right in front of the Airport. It takes 30-40 minutes and the cost is around $33 which, if you come with a friend or two, is actually decent.<\/p>\n

In the city itself you must:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to Caf\u00e9 Du Monde<\/strong> \u2013 Duh! You\u2019re obliged to have beignets on day one. But a tip: There is no line! Ignore the line, walk to the back and just hover for a table. Make eye contact with a server and they\u2019ll get it cleaned up \u2013 they will probably smile that you\u2019re not silly enough to wait in that damn line.<\/li>\n
  2. Drink Sazerac<\/strong> – the classic drink\u00a0of NOLA!<\/li>\n
  3. Experience Burbon Street<\/strong> – go there at night and stroll it for a bit.\u00a0However it\u2019s gotten so downmarket you\u2019ll likely be turned off after a few blocks.<\/li>\n
  4. Hear the sounds of Frenchman Street<\/strong> – definitely a must do!\u00a0My best advice is just to wander the four or so blocks on Frenchman Street and pop into a number of bars \/ music clubs. They\u2019re all super small. Lots of these places charge a fee for entry now, but keep in mind you won\u2019t probably stay long in one spot. So my advice is to see if you like the music before deciding to pay (you\u2019ll be able to hear from outside). La Maison, DBA, Spotted Cat are great!<\/li>\n
  5. Take a tram to the Garden District<\/strong> \u2013 this has the highest concentration of beautiful old homes. Then you can stop by one of the cemeteries out here.<\/li>\n
  6. Stroll Magazine Avenue<\/strong> \u2013 lots of cool galleries, stores, restaurants.<\/li>\n
  7. Visit\u00a0Ogden Museum of Southern Art<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0I loved their contemporary art collection!<\/li>\n
  8. Not forget to try\u00a0<\/u>Gumbo, Jambalaya, Turtle Soup and Po-boys<\/strong> – or veeeery typical for NOLA!<\/li>\n
  9. Preservation Hall<\/strong> – I used to like Jazz. After my visit at Preservation Hall – I loooooooooooove Jazz!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Just go! You won’t regret it<\/strong>. There’s nothing else like this city, its culture, people, food and music!<\/p>\n
