Definitely recommend Cafe du Monde for breakfast. The queue will be huge but it’s really fast moving. They serve beignets and coffee, juice, water etc. So it doesn’t take long so tables are coming free all the time. We queued and when we got to the front, you just had to look out for a table and then grab it.
Was recommended to me by a lady on the flight over and another when we stopped in a lay-by on our coast to coast trip. An experience and we really enjoyed it. We also had a meal at the Gumbo Shop which was lovely. Were only there for 2 nights & 1 day so did a walk round in the day we had. Loads to see and all walkable. The tourist information was really helpful, recommended things to do and gave us maps with the locations marked on them. Enjoy x

I have two trip reports with stays in New Orleans. Link is in my signature. Lafayette cemetery no 1 is the one famous for The Originals series. St Louis no1 is famous for the queen of voodoo tomb. You can’t get into St Louis unless you are in an official tour group.
Loads of places to eat depending on your taste. Lots of walking tours around the Garden district. French Quarter quite compact to get around. Anyway have a look at my 2017 and 2018 trippies and please feel free to ask any questions. We are back there in around 70 days. Love it.

so far i have got
day 1- Arrive tea time, get bearings, Ruby Slipper Cafe which is minutes from the hotel, maybe drink or two day 2 - street car from CBD to Jackson Square (not sure which street car but will figure it out ) wander around square, visit cathedral, have a Beignet, visit Frenchmans Market, walk the french quarter - find lunch place ? would appreciate recommendations Hotel Montelone for carousel bar later in the day day 3 - walking tour of the garden district / lunch at Commanders Palace/ ghost and cemetry tour - drinks maybe see a little of FQ by night day 4 - shops on canal street - rest of the day open to add plans thinking of a jazz brunch, steam boat cruise and or walk along the riverside (not sure but i also read about a sculpture park which could be a option) day 5 - flight back to MCO at 5pm - no plans as yet this is what i have so far, we are lazy morning/ take ages to get our act together kind of people, we like to walk and we like historical buildings any suggestions or advice would be great because i'm not sure if we are trying to fit too much in |

its really quite compact around the FQ . Even up to Louis Armstrong Park and Basin Street. Garden District a bit further out but you sound as if you are staying on the right side of Canal Street for that

wileycoyote
thank you so much for looking at my plans so far we are aware that Commanders Palace has a dress code, i did read that jeans and polo shirt are ok for lunch ? my husband dresses well so i just need to tidy myself and then i'm hoping we will pass muster, we have earmarked Antoines as a back up you have me thinking though that we might do lunch first and then the walking tour |
