We fell IN LOVE with this home! The photos were great, but it was even more quaint, comfy and impressive in person. The one BR was ideal for a getaway for two. Our intention was to use the property as “home base” while we ventured out, but we ended up spending part of our 5 day adventure just chillin’ at the crib. ;)
We loved the neighborhood, and found several of our favorite eateries just around the corner. We highly recommend a (true) hole in the wall – King Nola Burgers on St. Claude. The biggest, best tasting burgers made by a chef in the back of a convenience store. Adjacent to King NOLA, we happened upon the BEST PIZZA joint – Garage Pizza! My mouth is just watering thinking of those two places. We also now have favorite breakfast spots: Elizabeth’s (praline bacon; crab cake benedict; ginormous breakfast burrito) and TOAST (the waffles, tho!), and the Bywater (walk up) Bakery…all just a few blocks away. Jack Dempsey’s is a decent choice for classic eats, huge portions & for PoBoys try Parasol's Bar (we had the super flavorful roast beef and firecracker shrimp).
Some fun things to do/explore:
Distillery Tour ($28 tour for 2, plus a bottle of vodka on Groupon deal)…
Levee/Crescent Park: perfect spot to photograph the skyline on "this side" of the levee...only a few blocks away.
Murals: Stunning, mesmerizing and powerful art everywhere you look. We spent an afternoon just perusing the street art!
Dog friendly: To us, we loved that there were lots of local spots that were pet friendly. We got our "pup" fix while traveling without one. :)
