New Orleans Travel Guide
π Adventure & Surprises Morning: Booked a 9:40 AM Swamp Tour π β explore the wetlands and spot alligators up close! (Donβt forget to check in 20 minutes early! Drive time is about 40 minutes from downtown.) Noon: Return the rental car downtown β perfect timing to wrap up all car-needed activities in one day. Lunch at Gallierβs Restaurant & Oyster Bar π¦ͺ. Afternoon: Visit the WWII Museum πͺ. (Skipping the 4D film is fine β felt like a regular documentary, and I dozed off halfway through π΄.) Dinner: Trenasse π½οΈ β right across from the popular Luke restaurant. An unexpected gem! Their happy hour oysters are just over $1 each β crazy affordable and super fresh! β¨ π Leisurely Riverside Stroll Final day: Take a relaxing walk along the Mississippi River π. Browse shops at Riverwalk Outlets and nearby malls β a calm and pleasant way to wrap up the trip ποΈπ£. π¨ Accommodation Tip: Choose a hotel near the French Quarter β it lets you walk to attractions and restaurants easily, especially if youβre not driving. My top picks: The Roosevelt (Waldorf Astoria) and Four Seasons β both offer great locations and excellent service ποΈπ. π΄ Food Recommendations: Mr. Bβs Bistro πππππ Crispy Fried Oysters (crunchy outside, juicy inside!) Pasta Jambalaya (classic Cajun flavors β so flavorful!) Gallierβs Restaurant & Oyster Bar πππππ Oyster Platter (four delicious styles β cheese-baked is my favorite!) π§π₯ Dragoβs Seafood Restaurant ππππ Alligator Tacos (tender and juicy β like premium chicken!) Garlic Grilled Oysters (a bit salty but tasty β great for bold flavors!) Trenasse ππππ Happy Hour Oysters (unbeatable value!) Crab Cakes (well-seasoned, though portions are small) This is my in-depth New Orleans travel guide β hope it helps make your trip amazing! β¨ Putting guides together takes time, so if you found this useful, feel free to like, comment, or share β your support means a lot! ππ #NewOrleans #NOLAFood #TravelGuide #ExploreNOLA #SouthernEats #TravelTips
