đľđśđłđ¨ | New Orleans 3-Day & 2-Night Chill Itinerary Ëâšâ â
Accommodation đ ă Thereâs really no need to stay in the French Quarter! It feels like youâd be woken up by the noise at night. NOLA isnât big, and taxis are cheapâexcept for rides from the airport, none of our fares cost over $20. We booked a vacation rental in the 70721 zip code. ăDrinks âď¸ă âś Avenue Cafe đą You have to try New Orleans-style coffeeâitâs amazing! Itâs made with chicory, a herb whose roots are roasted, ground, and blended into the coffee. This tradition originated in France and became a part of New Orleansâ unique culture~ [thumbs up][thumbs up][thumbs up] ⡠Cafe du Monde They also serve the coffee mentioned above. Their desserts are similar to fried doughnuts or sweet fried breadâpretty tasty! Some locations are cash-only, so keep that in mind. ăFood đ˝ď¸ă âś Cochon The complimentary pre-meal bread lives up to the hypeâit was so good we ordered a second round! We recommend the oysters and fried alligator, but the rabbit ravioli was just so-so. ⡠Felix Both the raw oysters and garlic-roasted oysters were incredible!! They tasted like something youâd get at a night market back home. Though the complimentary baguette was harder than a rock đ. The shrimp was also super deliciousâhighly recommended. ⸠Two Chicks Cafe Portions are huge and itâs great value for money! The toast was deliciousâsoft and not overly sweet. The fruit was fresh and not sour. The crab croissant had a slight fishy taste, though. Some coffee options come with free refills, and you can even take leftovers to go. âš Big EZ (HUGE AVOID! â ď¸) Iâve always thought I have a strong tolerance for bold flavors, but the food here was unbearably salty. The prices were on the high side, the food came out lukewarm, and the corn was even cold. To top it off, tips were calculated after taxesâand they even suggested a 40% tip! âş Rex House Kitchen & Courtyard We just walked in randomly while in the French Quarter, but the pasta was surprisingly delicious. They have outdoor seating, and the staff were really nice. ăActivities đă âś French Quarter Whether day or night, the French Quarter is surrounded by music everywhere. Youâll see bubbles floating through the air, jazz bands playing while smoking cigarettes, and enthusiastic tourists and locals alike. Itâs within walking distance of Bourbon Street (the bar district), but the street gets really sketchy at nightâalways go with a group!!! PS: Mahogany Jazz Hall is absolutely fantasticâwe recommend stopping by for a drink and soaking up the vibe. I donât know much about jazz, but even I was moved by the free-spirited, romantic atmosphere [sniffles]. ⡠Swamp Tour ! I really recommend the swamp tour we tookâsuper fun and the guides were responsible. ⸠Oak Alley Plantation Itâs about a 2-hour drive from downtown. The tour lasts around 25 minutes and covers the plantationâs history. If history isnât your thing, the old mansion and oak grove are still incredibly photogenicâitâs such a beautiful spot! #NewOrleans #NOLAItinerary #NewOrleansFood #InternationalStudentLife #100WaysToTravel #InDepthTravelGuide #EasternUSTravel #SoloTrip #NOLATravel
