Our favorite place for a poboy in the city. Evidently it is also the favorite spot for former president Obama when he comes to town. Take the greenway here or über/taxi here. This spot can get busy on the weekend during lunch and dinner so plan accordingly.

One of the most famous restaurants in the city. This creole steakhouse fashioned the aged steak first and is a landmark of the civil rights movement. You may need reservations to eat here so call ahead. But the $20 lunch buffet is AWESOME!

It's just a quick streetcar ride from the house on the Rampart line and a short walk to this brunch spot but its the best of the three in the city. Shorter line, better food, awesome building (it's an old bank). Use the NoWait app to checkin before you get there to avoid a line. If you have to wait, go to Mags 940 for a cocktail (sobriety is subjective in NOLA) while you wait.

Oldest bar in the USA, still lit mostly by candlelight at night. This pirate bar is my favorite in the city. Try the Purple Drink or a Hurricane here. This bar has a piano at night and is a great time.

I suggest this spot most on Saturdays and Sundays during the day/ morning times. This is when Princess Stephanie works (also an Airbnb host) she is hilarious drag personality but is also one of the top mixologists in the nation (no kidding). Like an old-timey pharmacist, she prescribes your drink if you let her and it's always a hit. This is a bar that has some fun shows, dance classes, mixology, and yet has the feel of being in the new Orleans equivalent of Cheers just with an occasional character as your bartender.

Catch this Streetcar at the corner of Carondelet and Canal st. This is the oldest trolly in the world and is operated as it did in 1920. These breezy rides are a fun, romantic way to travel uptown to the Garden District and Magazine street corridor. Ask for a day pass for $3 and ride any streetcar or bus for 24 hours.
