Cori’s place was immaculate and even better than in the photos. She and her husband were really friendly and helpful when we met them while hanging out on the porch. We had great time exploring the city and Algier’s Point (charming, safe, quiet). The ferry was fun and cheap ($2 each way), French Quarter parking was expensive ($26 + tip at Omni garage), so I’d suggest ferry over and Uber back ($13 + tip) if you’re planning to stay late (ferry stops running at 10:30 Fri/Sat, 8:30 otherwise).
The food in NOLA was amazing, the drinks are strong, and open containers (except glass) are welcome! Seriously, I have been dreaming about trying the food here for years and it did not dissapoint. Also apprently we picked a great time to visit (1st week of October) because the weather could not have been more perfect and Cori said we’d just missed the humidity but it’d stay this way til January.
P.S. The coffee at Cafe Du Monde was *really* hot so give it time to cool or you’ll burn your tongue and not be able to eat your last beignet like me 🥲
