Casa Pelican B&B is a unique way to take in the bustle of New Orleans while enjoying the slower pace of one of its historic neighborhoods. Located in Algiers Point, it's just a few blocks' walk to the passenger ferry that makes several trips daily to the heart of the city. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and owners Karen and Kelly make you feel like you are staying with good friends. Make sure to schedule one of Karen's hands-on cooking classes. We took the seafood class and are still dreaming about the fresh oysters, trout and shrimp that were transformed into a five-star-restaurant quality meal under her guidance. We'll be back!
