Hi Lauren, Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your home during our first time to Da Big Easy! Glad we didn't get pulled into some traps, and instead used your guidebooks to experience da city through a local. The corner stores in the area were great for Ya Ka Mein, Chicken Wings, Ribs, Jazzed up Cajun Goodies and the Important Daiquiri. We spent a few days in and around the City Park, and the drive from your place was perfect, and would even be a great walk! You could probably spend a week experiencing the park , but we enjoyed having Beignets and Coffee from Cafe Du Monde & the Sculpture Garden the most. Our son loved watching the horses run around the track nearby.
We also really enjoyed our downtime and sleeping in your house! It was a perfect size and personality for our family. We can't wait to return!
FYI - Try Da Fix, Chef Rob's Gumbo Stop, and Mardi Gras World (if there ain't any parades going down).... But you do what you want!
