I'm not sure if this is the right board for this but we are looking for some suggestions for some food and stuff to do while we are in NOLA.

What are the good touristy places to go to and the ones to stay away from? And any hole in the wall places I'm always down to try out. It will be my first time down for Mardi Gras but not sure about the other people in our group.

This is somewhat touristy but it's still fun. Assuming you are young, you need to go to Pat's O's during the day at one point. Spend a day (not during a prime night parade like Bacchus or Endymion) walking around the quarter (not just Bourbon). If youre in that area, you got to try the food at Coop's Place, Verti Marte, or Johnny's (among others).

Might I suggest coming at Jazz Fest. The amateurs are in NOLA for Mardi Gras, JF is for the pros.

Where are you staying?

where will you stand for the parades?

this would be helpful info.


really though, once you get to town you'll want to see the parades. Before the parades, you'll want to pre game and catch a buzz. After the parade you'll want to continue the party. You'll prob catch on quick that finding somewhere to eat goes to the backburner.

your location will help give some recs though. Whether you'll up uptwon or downtown, there are some options all around

If you don't mind stoners toking up in the courtyard, turtlebay cafe is a hidden gem for some solid pizza. Jmo

Stay sober and regret your mistake as it happens. Get drunk and regret it afterwards. These are your only 2 choices.
