The food here is creative and always satisfies. Although the area is often overlooked, this is a local's favorite. Plus, every now and then there will be a Prince party here that's off the chain.

If you're coming to New Orleans for food, do not overlook Coquette. It's expensive but worth every cent. Chef Kristen Essig is incredible and winning a lot of awards for her talents.

Happy Hour Special: 1/2 off oysters, wine, beer, and premium drinks. Pro tip, oyster chips are bought at the bar, so go there first then everything is hand shucked right in front of you. Tell Thomas (aka Uptown T) and Roddy that Erica sent ya!

If you have a car this is one of my favorite places to go for po boys and all your other seafood needs. A real lunch counter type of place with a lot of options and a fast kitchen. While the price is a little high, the quality never disappoints.

Cajun food; super fun (near Maple Leaf Bar that usually has good live music). Located about 5-10 minutes away from the rental. I recommend the aligator cheesecake and the bacon wrapped quail!

A great spot for lunch or brunch, Mr. B's Bistro is a Brennan's restaurant across the street from the historic Monteleone Hotel in the French Quarter. Check out their BBQ shrimp - their gumbo is also incredible.

Oysters, oysters, oysters! The best lunch counter (not open for dinner) and CASH ONLY. Featured in the movie "Burnt" right at the very beginning. Fresh oysters shucked right at the counter and an oyster loaf that will knock your socks off!

Of course I have to send you here for world famous beignets. It's touristy, sure, but they're open 24 hours and right across the street from Jackson square. It's a great place to people watch while you're in the quarter. If there's a long line, just come back later - don't wait.

People love this spot for lunch, I'm not always sure why- but it stands as a NOLA institution. You can learn a lot about our lunch counter culture here. Cafeteria style, the crawfish etouffe is amazing, and they are famous for debris sandwich. Best to go off hours otherwise the line can be quite a wait.

You will be in the know if you come here on your visit. Amazing and unique sandwiches and cocktails (but their salad may be the hidden gem!). Was voted as the best new restaurant in the country last year by notable food magazine. Go early to avoid lines. They move people through quickly. The fried baloney sandwich is their claim to fame (and it is SO good!)

This place is the SPOT. Down in the bywater, it takes a little patience to get to it, but once you're there you're golden. They recently aquired a new chef and redid the restaurant and it's classy. Out back you can pay $15 each to hang out at the amazing pool all day - and they have a sauna and showers for day use. The bar and wine list are also top notch.

Incredible happy hour menu, this is an anchor on Freret Street, a trendy neighborhood about a mile away from the rental. The ambiance makes it perfect as a place to meet up with friends and their wonderful cocktail menu makes it the place for a delicious night cap.

An incredible modern jazz joint with a special back listening room. Also serve great burgers, seafood and steak in a seperate bistro. Book tickets in advance because they sell out, especially on weekends - $15-35 tickets, well worth it on a non-touristy part of Frenchmen Street and they pay the musicians well!

One of the oldest bars in NOLA (and I think the entire US) not really great drinks, but great history and atmosphere. You want to stop in here and take it all in - the candle lit piano bar in the back is so wonderful and during the winter they light the fire places and it makes it nice and cozy (they also feature the eggnog daq around Christmas...YUM!)

Casual wine/food in a backyard setting with live music. It's not a winery, but it's close! Have to Uber it to this place which is in Bywater area quite far out from the French quarter but really fun experience. The food here is great. Get a cheese plate and drink some wine. Don't walk around this area at night.

famous for bloody marys and a bar that spins on a carousel (also on Royal St. where there are lots of nice antique shops and galleries). Perfect place to kill a few hours and they have live music at night.

This is an incredible music venue about 5-10 min away from the rental. Their capacity is about 800 but it doesn't ever feel that full. Great acts and a great place to hang with access to a lot of bars within walking distance.

This is a great place to come with friends. They have a huge patio that is never too full. Open late night and have tons of drinks to choose from. SO many TVS to watch the game, but I wouldn't say it's just a sports bar. They just added on in the back a Bayou Wine Garden where you can get a bottle and chill.

Really close to the rental there is Freret Street. If you don't feel like going downtown and don't know where to go, start at Cure or Dat Dog for a cocktail or beer and walk around. They have a few little divey bars that have great music. The whole street is a lot of fun.

A great park to walk, run or bicycle a track. For a runner, from my house it is about 5 miles to run to audubon, around the loop and back. Nice place to spend a weekend.

I cannot say enough about this museum. Make sure you have several hours to go and please be mindful that they do sell out during peak seasons. I think you can purchase your tickets online ahead of time to avoid a long wait. They have different experiences, but the main museum drag is lifechanging and there is truly something for everyone!
