Step into New Orleans’ French Quarter and you’ll know right away—this isn’t just another U.S. city. Cobblestone streets hum with music, balconies drip with history, and the locals celebrate life with contagious flair. But with so much to do, where should you start? Here are my favorite stops that keep me coming back again and again.
Stay in Style
Since 1886, this has been the Quarter’s crown jewel. Think rooftop pool, old-world charm, and the legendary Carousel Bar that actually rotates.

👉 Jackson Square – The heartbeat of the Quarter. Street performers, artists, and musicians bring the square alive. Don’t rush—wander, listen, and let it unfold.
Sink Your Teeth In
A nod to New Orleans’ love of the supernatural. Great food, gothic vibes, and just the right amount of bite.
Fine Dining, French Quarter Style
Elegant Creole cuisine worth dressing up for.
The city’s second-oldest restaurant, serving tradition with flair.
Tour Like a Local
Ghosts, gardens, and secret corners. Guides here don’t just recite—they live the stories.

Beignets are mandatory. Hot, sweet, and showered in powdered sugar.
And here’s the kicker—parades pop up when you least expect them. That’s the magic of the Quarter: history and mystery, flavor and fun, all swirling together. Go once, and you’ll already be planning your return.
Paul has given us a great start to exploring the charm, secrets, tastes and allure of NOLO…take your CONMIGO Every Day/Every Where bag with you so you can bring home some alligator sausage, beignet mix or voodoo charms
