Head to the Garden District for the full-on New
Orleans experience replete with quaintly clanking
streetcars, proudly grandiose antebellum mansions,
picture perfect avenues lined with live oaks loaded
down with Spanish moss, and a wealth of beautiful
churches and many more architectural marvels. Even a
brief excursion here makes plain why it’s called the
Garden District. So, when you visit be sure to give
...More
yourself ample time for admiration at a languidly slow
pace befitting such gentile strand of riverside living
and to allow you to maximize each opportunity to stop
and smell the roses – and whichever other blooms you
might come across. While taking it all in, you’d do
well to dine at one of the city’s most beloved
destinations for regional cuisine. Gourmands from far
and wide (and right round the corner) swear the
age-old Commander’s Palace is the best restaurant in
town – and have been doing so since it opened back in
1880.
