Seeking Help Planning a NOLA Weekend
Posted on 6/4/16 at 8:59 am

Meeting some friends in NOLA next weekend and will be there Friday until Sunday afternoon.
Haven't been in several years, and I'm looking for the OT to steer me into the right neighborhoods, bars and restaurants.
Not looking for the bourbon street/touristy things, been there done that.
I plan to see the WW2 museum, but what else does the Crescent City offer?

Posted in your other thread, not all are asshats!
If starting things on Friday, try going to Bacchanal on Friday evening. Trust me, the facade does not do this place justice. Walk in, grab a couple bottles of wine, some stinky cheese and meats from the fridge, pay at the counter and go sit in the backyard. There will be a small ensemble playing jazz or dixieland music, lot's of people hanging and conversing. If you're not into the wine, good beer selection and specialty drinks served upstairs. Also, very nice small tapas type plates served in the backyard if the cheese and meat tray they serve you is not enough. My wife and I usually start here and plan our weekend from that point, so bring your ideas of where to go and places to eat, and be flexible. Decide if you want to eat "touristy or local" and go from there. Try the F&D board for better responses to this question!.
Besides what you've mentioned, there is the NOLA Rum tour, NOLA beer tour, French Market and of course the walking and drinking.

jmon had a good suggestion.
What does your group like in regards to beer or wine or music?
You could go to the nola brewery and drink and eat upstairs. Avenue pub is a great beer bar and the upstairs will open so you can drink and watch street cars in the evening.
Of course a walk down Magazine street uptown is great for shopping and bar hopping.
The St. Charles street car makes for a good scenic ride to see the oak lined street and beautiful old homes.
City Park makes for a good visit, especially if you want to walk through the free sculptor garden or want to see the N.O. Museum of Art. You could then walk from there the three or four blocks down Esplanade to a little area of restaurants. Pretty cool wine shop right in that area too.
Check the music clubs to see if any of the acts interest you.
WW2 Museum is worth it.
You can ride the ferry across to old algiers and walk that neighborhood a little.
If you want some night life that's not as full of trash as Bourbon, go to Frenchman Street. Start at DBA and then walk around until you hear some music you like at one of the clubs.
Go to food and drink board if you want some good and more detailed info on dining.
