    Romantic New Orleans Itinerary

    Whether its an anniversary, Valentine's Day, or just an excuse to rekindle the flame and

    spend some time together, New Orleans is the perfect place to celebrate the one you love.

    Whether you are here for just one night or a few days, we have the perfect romantic

    itinerary. If you only have one night in New Orleans, follow the day one itinerary, which

    contains all the romantic highlights of the Crescent City.

    Day 1

    A Perfect Romantic Evening

  • 7/28/2019 Romantic New Orleans Itinerary

    2/19

    Make your first romantic evening in New Orleans

    completely unforgettable. Start your evening off with

    the sunset at Woldenberg Parkand watch the sun

    dance across the Mighty Mississippi. Take a walk

    along the Moonwalk, which is on the river at Jackson

    Square.

    Toast your relationship over pre-dinner cocktails at Napoleon House. You'll feel like

    you've stepped back in time when you take a seat in the dimly lit, rustically romantic

    barroom. Order up the bar's signature Pimm's Cup, and take in the scenes from the street

    outside or just stare longingly into each other's eyes.

    Once the sun has gone down, get ready to dive into some good ole New Orleans cuisine.If you're in the mood for Italian with a distinctly New Orleans twist, stroll hand-in-hand

    down Chartres Street to Saint Philip Street, and duck into Irene's Cuisine. Aside from

    having outrageously delicious food, Irene's also has the added allure of being somewhat

    off the beaten path. Irene's does tend to get busy and even with a reservation, you may

    still have to wait. Pass the time with a glass of wine, some good conversation, and

    perhaps a quick kiss or two trust us, it's worth it.

    3/19

    Bayona is another top pick for romantic fine dining in the French Quarter. With its

    eclectic global cuisine crafted by beloved (and critically acclaimed) New Orleans Chef

    Susan Spicer, Bayona truly provides a feast for the senses. Linger over artistically crafted

    cocktails in the lush courtyard before taking a seat in the main dining room. The warmth

    from the walls seems to radiate throughout the whole interior of the restaurant, providing

    a dining experience so intimate, it will leave you glowing.

    After dinner, swing by Jackson Square (on the Decatur Street side), and sweep your

    loved one off of their feet literally! There are few things more quintessentially romantic

    than a late-night ride around the Quarter in the back of a horse-drawn carriage. Tales of

    the city and picturesque views envelop you on this 45-minute journey through one of

    America's most historic areas. In those rare cold winter months, blankets are provided, so

    snuggle up and get ready to go!

    Finally, it's always fun to end an evening with a little something sweet, so before heading

    back to your hotel, swing by Caf du Monde for a cup of caf au lait and an order ofworld-famous beignets.

    Start your morning off right with a delicious brunch at

    Caf Amelie. The restaurant itself is enchanting; it's

    nestled in a beautiful courtyard along a quieter stretch

    of Royal Street. Their notoriously tasty brunch is a

    favorite among locals and tourists alike, so you'll want

    to call ahead and reserve a table.

    5/19

    After brunch, it will be time to hit the streets for a leisurely stroll around the French

    Quarter. Wander in and out of the galleries that line Royal Street, stopping to steal a

    quick kiss or two along the way. And be sure to look up to check out the lush "hanging

    gardens" that fill the wrought iron balconies of the homes as you explore side streets

    along the way.

    Slowly make your way up to Johnny's Po-Boys, where you'll grab a couple of

    sandwiches to go for a picnic inCity Park. Don't think you'll be hungry enough for a full

    lunch? You can also swing by Rouse's Market on the corner of Royal and St. Peter streets

    and grab some cheese and crackers (and maybe a bottle of wine) to bring with you on

    your way.

    Head up to catch theCanal Street Streetcar(City Park/Museum line), which will bring

    you right up to the front of the City Park. Take a short walk along the City Park Avenue

    side, and settle down under a canopy of oak trees to enjoy your picnic. Prefer waterfront

    dining? Check out the beautifully ornate Peristyle that overlooks Bayou Metairie. Onceyou've finished your meal, wander over to the dock at Big Lake, where you can rent

    yourselves a pedal boat fromCity Park Boat & Bike Rentals. Feel like having someone

    else do the rowing? City Park also offers gondola rides, which take off from the same

    dock. Pedal boats are first come, first serve, but gondola rides require a reservation so

    be sure to call ahead.

    As the sun starts to set, and you're ready for a change of scene, head down Esplanade

    Avenue, crossing over Bayou St. John. This particular neighborhood, known as

    Esplanade Ridge, has a decidedly funky romantic vibe. If you're not quite ready for

    dinner, swing by Swirl Wine Bar & Market to have a glass of wine. If you like whatyou try, go ahead and grab a bottle most of the restaurants in the neighborhood will

    allow you to bring your own wine for a slight corkage fee.

    If you're in the mood for French, head right across the street to Caf Degas, a quaint little

    bistro tucked away on Esplanade Avenue. This charming caf provides the perfect

    intimate setting that makes you feel like you are in a world of your own away from the

    city scene.

    Or if you're craving Spanish food, walk across Esplanade to Lola's. What Lola's lacks in

    square footage, it more than makes up for in charm. Locals flock to the cherished

    neighborhood eatery for what many swear is the best paella in the city. With only a few

    tables, and a strict no-reservations policy, Lola's tends to fill up quickly, so be sure to

    factor a potential wait into your evening plans.

    After dinner, call a cab and have them drop you off down in the Marigny on Frenchman

    Street. This part of town is unlike any other in New Orleans, hosting artists,

    philosophers, musicians and anyone looking to live the chill, bohemian lifestyle. The jazz

    clubs along this strip are some of the best in the city. Snug Harbor, d.b.a., and The

    Three Musesare just some of the popular venues to catch live, local New Orleans

    musicians.

    Looking to head back to the Quarter? Close the night out with a trip to the Palm Court

    Jazz Caf orPat O's Patio Barand listen to jazz while sipping on classic New Orleanscocktails. The laid back atmospheres make these great places to unwind and take in all

    the beauty of a traditional French Quarter courtyard while listening to the wonderful

    sounds of jazz.

    Or if you're in the mood for something unique and unforgettable, then check out the

    revolving Carousel Bar at theHotel Monteleone. Hop aboard and sample one of the

    many delicious signature cocktails served up in the famously lux setting of this legendary

    New Orleans hotel.

    This will be a night you will never forget!

    Or if you're ready to jumpstart your Uptown adventure, go ahead and hop on the St.

    Charles Streetcar, ride it up to Washington Avenue, then walk down Washington to

    Commander's Palace. This iconic Garden District restaurant serves up a three-course

    Jazz Brunch that's absolutely to die for. Make sure you try out one of their delicious

    daytime libations (they're famous for their Creole Bloody Mary) they're too good to

    miss!

    Take some time to explore the Garden District after your meal, then hop back on the

    Uptown-bound streetcar, and take in the scenery as you glide down St. Charles Avenue

    to Audubon Park. When you get to the park, step off theStreetcar, and take a stroll

    under the canopies of oak trees, heading around the park through along the track until you

    hit Magazine St.

    Cross Magazine St. until you come to the entrance ofAudubon Zoo and get ready to

    step into one of the nation's top-ranked zoos.

    The Audubon Zoo is a world of its own - see exotic animals, reptiles, elephants and

    more. Walk through The Louisiana Swamp exhibit, which is a re-creation of a 1930s

    swamp settlement equipped with a trapper's cottage, Spanish moss, white alligators and

    cypress knees. Sometimes one of the best ways to rekindle a flame is to act like kids

    again, and nothing is quite as care-free as a trip to the zoo. Pose for pictures by the

    elephant fountain, or check out a show at the sea lion pavilion. You may even learn a

    thing or two at this state-of-the-art nature facility.

    After you've seen your fill of wildlife, head back through Audubon Parkuntil you hit St.

    Charles Ave. and hop on the streetcar back towards downtown. If you're ready for a bite

    to eat, get off at Robert Street (about five blocks past Jefferson Avenue), and head

    towards Prytania Street to a little restaurant calledLa Crepe Nanou. This charming

    neighborhood bistro feels straight out of Paris with its dim, rich lighting, and cozy red

    banquettes. Share an order of fondue for two, or try out one of their deliciously savory

    crepes. The restaurant does fill up quickly, and doesn't take reservations, so there may be

    a wait.

    Also nearby? Upperline Restaurant. The menu is decadent and delicious Creole

    contemporary at it's best. The walls are dripping with artwork from local artists, and the

    hominess of the building itself creates a comfortably upscale ambience. Try the

    restaurant's signature fried green tomatoes topped with shrimp remoulade, or opt for the

    opulently delectable roast duck.

    Or if you'd prefer to stop for a pre-dinner cocktail before settling into a meal, forgo the

    Robert Street stop, and continue riding down St. Charles until you reach the Columns

    Hotel. This iconic New Orleans hotel, and the bar that spills from its lobby onto its

    expansive front porch, is a must-see for anyone visiting the city. The dark, Victorian

    lounge-y atmosphere of its interior lends itself to an almost scandalous sense of romance

    (after all, it was used as the bordello in the 1987 Brooke Shield's flick "Pretty Baby").

    Feel like getting some fresh air? Take a seat outside where you can sip your cocktail

    while overlooking the beauty of St. Charles.

    Another great pick for romantic pre- (or post-) dinner cocktails is The Delachaise,located just two blocks down from The Columns. Sit under the light-strung patio out

    front, or grab a table inside and enjoy their delightfully extensive list of wines, beers and

    fine liquor.

    When it comes time for dinner, call a cab and head over to eitherAtchafalayaorLilette.

    Atchafalaya serves up contemporary Creole cuisine in a quaint Uptown cottage located

    enough off the beaten path that you'll feel like you're an in the know local.

    Lilette, on the other hand, is an upscale bistro that specializes in Italian-French fare. The

    space itself is sophisticated and sultry, with deep red walls, and creamy white banquettes.The restaurant can tend to get a little loud as the night goes on, but that's all the more

    reason to lean in closer.

    As your weekend winds down, you may want to return to the Quarter for one last late-

    night stroll, or grab a nightcap at one of our picks for the city's most romantic bars. No

    matter how you choose to wrap up your romantic tryst in the Big Easy, one thing is

    certain; the memories you made in a weekend will last a lifetime. Now that's amore.

    Ten Great Places to Kiss:

    1. Moonwalk in Woldenberg Parkat Dusk

    2. Sculpture Garden in City Park

    10/19

    There are many things that draw visitors from all over the world to New Orleans the

    fascinating history, rich culture, and incredible food rank

    high. But most visitors know that after their tours have ended,

    and the fantastic meal has been consumed, its time to hit the

    town and have an unforgettable night. Between our jazz

    clubs, cozy bars, and luxe lounges, New Orleans has what ittakes to create the night of a lifetime night after night.

    culture of the city, weve put together a collection of top-notch watering holes.

    Night 1

    Uptown

    While there is way more to New Orleans than bars and booze, the city does have some

    great late night hang outs, and while there may be a lot to chose from, there are certain

    destinations you simply cant miss out on!

    Uptown New Orleans has a lot to offer in the way of hip bars, great restaurants, and

    hoppin music clubs. Since it is about 15 minutes away from Downtown by car, we

    suggest taking a cab. While a lot ofcabstend to hang around the most popular haunts,

    you can also give a cab company a call and theyll come right to you!

    Start the evening off with a drink at theColumns Hotel Bar, a great spot for either

    before or after-Dinner drinks. Have a cab drop you off at this palatial mansion-turned-

    hotel on historic St. Charles Avenue. Grab a spot on the porch, order yourself a classicNew Orleans cocktail, and take in the beauty of the Avenue at dusk. The seating inside is

    equally enjoyable; rich mahogany and plush seating gives patrons a feeling of Old New

    Orleans charm a perfect match to a refreshing drink.

    When it comes time for some dinner, have a taxi bring you to Jacques-Imos, a

    traditional New Orleans favorite located in the heart of Uptown. This funky restaurant

    swinging next door to Maple Leaf Barfor a drink while you wait for your table. This

    Uptown bar almost always has live music later into the night. Before you know it, the

    For the true beer connoisseur, theres no better place to stop along the way than the

    gathering with friends under a plethora of red-lanterns dangling from the ceiling. The

    undeniably hip vibe is ideal for conversation and plan for the next stop of the night.

    12/19

    With a big night out Uptown last night, you may be feeling

    the need for a quieter, more laid back night out on the town.

    Swing by Frenchmen Street in the Marigny for some live

    music in dimly lit and indisputably cool locations. No matter

    what kind of music you want to hear jazz, blues, funk,

    reggae youll find it in one of these hip, yet totallyunpretentious, bars and clubs. Most dont require a cover

    either, so you can feel free to wander in and out at your

    leisure without worrying about spending too much money.

    If you havent already eaten dinner, head on over toPort of Call the lowerFrench

    Quarter establishment known for their amazing burgers, and delicious baked potatoes.

    While Port of Callis the perfect place to fill your stomach before a night out on the

    town, you can also get the night started with a Neptunes Monsoon, the bars signature

    drink which comes in a huge plastic cup, so if you dont finish it at dinner, you can

    always take it along until your next destination.

    The best part about Frenchmen Street is that no matter which bar you end up wandering

    into, youll find good music and great people. Start the night off with a cocktail and some

    jazz at Snug Harbor. Grab a table by the stage or opt to stay up closer to the bar. If you

    havent eaten yet, they also offer everything from seafood to steaks to make sure you get

    a good meal in your stomach before hittin the town again. The shows usually start at 8

    p.m. and 10 p.m., but make sure you check ahead to see who is playing and when.

    From there, walk a few doors down and check outd.b.a. a local favorite that offers live

    music and a huge selection of beers on draft, as well as a great wine menu. The bar has anartsy and cool vibe, making it a great place to either sit and drink with a group or catch up

    one-on-one with that special someone.

    Once you leave d.b.a., walk across the street and check out whats going on at the

    Spotted Cat. This intimate venue offers a wide range of performances thats perfect for

    both groups of friends and special dates. Live performances generally happen twice a

    night, with the first show at 6:00 p.m. and the second at 8:30, so you can either swing by

    for a surprise or check on the schedule to see who is playing and when.Caf Brasil,Blue

    Nile, and the Apple Barrel are also good locations for live music, and theyre all located

    within a few doors of each other, so you can check them all out without having to go very

    far.

    If you still feel like getting in one more bar, walk up the street to Esplanade and discover

    Igors Checkpoint Charlies. This late-night watering hole offers live music, bar food,

    and a good game of pool if youre in the mood. Youll also only be one block away from

    the French Quarter, so getting home wont be a challenge. If youre really tired, cabs

    awe-inspiring fire fountain. From there, you can head inside to the Piano Bar to hear

    classic tunes played by dueling pianos. Sing along to your favorites, or just sit back, sip

    your drink, and listen to the music.

    Head back to Bourbon St. and stop in at Cats Meowfor a little karaoke. Even if you

    dont want to sing, its always entertaining to watch others belt out the lyrics to great

    songs plus, you might even get to watch a friend embarrass themselves up on the mic.

    If youre not quite ready to call it a night, head over to theGold Mine Saloon, located on

    Orleans Avenue and Dauphine street. This late-night dive offers dancing, drinking and

    even flaming shots, for the brave drinker.

    If youre hungry for a snack of some kind, dont worry there are plenty of late night

    options. Lucky Dog hotdog carts line the busy streets of the French Quarter and have

    become a staple for late nights out downtown. If youre in the mood for something

    sweeter, make sure you swing by the legendary Caf Du Monde for some beignets and

    strong coffee. No trip to New Orleans is complete without at least one plate of these

    delicious fried doughnuts, and while they taste amazing at any time of the day, theyre

    even better after a long night out.

    Depending on what time it is, theres no denying youve had an action-packed weekend.

    Make your way back to your hotel and crawl into bed for some much needed shut-eye.

    Just because youre treating yourself to a vacation doesnt mean you need to empty

    your wallet to have a good time once you get here. In a city known for great food,

    youre probably expecting to spend lots of money on expensive meals, then head out to

    bars with pricey drinks, and hefty covers for live music NOT SO! Its not only

    possible to do New Orleans on a budget its effortless! So put on your walking shoes,

    and get ready to experience the rich culture of New Orleans for the least amount ofmoney possible. If you only have one day to spend in the Crescent City, stick to the

    first day of the itinerary; if not, enjoy this action packed, dollar-conscious guide to

    New Orleans.
