re: Things to do in Nola with pets?

The Bulldog is the most common choice, I also really like bringing them to Freret Street cafe. There they get a doggie menu with high quality baked treats.
(like $2 each bag)

The dogs get a bowl and the patio is covered and the food is pretty good.

The city itself is getting really dog friendly and most of the places uptown with outside seating are dog friendly.

I like going to the Fly or City Park. The empty areas sorta near where the tree people keep going are just awesome to let your dogs run.
(they have a really nice dog park too, but it's members only)

The quarter also has some dog friendly places, but when I bring my dog out (85# catahoula mix) I prefer parks and open spaces to the Quarter or Magazine. Though both are very friendly for smaller dogs.
