We loved our Family Thanksgiving at the Okra Inn! My husband, 2.5 year old son and I met up with my inlaws and their pug to spend the holiday in a new city. This place has a fabulous location for kids and families- just a block from the streetcar. It's a quick drive or pleasant 20 minute walk to the wonderful playground, Storyland and Morning Call beignets in City Park. The French Quarter, Garden District and other attractions are minutes away but far enough that you can take them in more moderate doses and experience what feels like a more everyday version of this incredible city. Great restaurants and bakeries are in walking distance too! Don't miss the cannoli at Angelo Brocato less than a block away.

The house itself is eclectic and homey with super fun folky art pieces and mardi gras memorabilia- it really feels like New Orleans in every room. There was plenty of space for the inlaws and the toddler and for all of us to get a bit of privacy when we needed it. Lindsay was super responsive and easy to get in touch with both before our arrival and during our stay. We will recommend to friends and stay here again the next time we come to New Orleans!
