Your New Orleans experience wouldn’t be complete without a stay at the Parks-Bowman Mansion... The house is a living treasure. Pictures don’t do it justice. It is SUCH a treat to fall asleep in the cozy library (on the most comfortable bed) and wake up to the sound of the breeze in the trees and birds outside the window.
Adrienne is the most wonderful lovely hostess. My fiancé and I don’t have enough good things to say about her and her wonderful ole pup Boggs. When not out and about the Garden District and the French Quarter, we spent almost all our time relaxing on the balcony. Liam got to smoke his pipe in the evenings while we ate beignets from Café du Monde and I read a book.
Famous restaurant Commander’s Palace is literally around the corner and the room comes with a complete list of recommended eateries (& a wonderful history of the house). We ate breakfast from Ruby Slipper and Surrey’s on the balcony and wonderful dinners from CP and Pêche. Don’t forget to grab a po-boy from Verti Marte (locals say it is the best).
We hope to be back very soon and will certainly be staying with Adrienne again when we are back in our favorite city.
