Local Tips from the travel experts
Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in New Orleans to help you make the most of your visit.
"Reserve a table in advance and request a ground-floor or elevator-accessible table to avoid stairs.Order smaller plates or share to keep the meal comfortable; ask servers about pacing your courses.Use this longer sit-down lunch as a midday rest to recharge — the restaurant staff is experienced with guests who need a relaxed pace."
Leisurely early lunch at Commander’s Palace — classic Creole in a calm setting
"Stay on the paved Moonwalk path where benches and railings are available; it’s largely flat and easy on joints.Avoid crowded stretches and choose early-evening timing for softer light and cooler temperatures.If standing gets tiring, plan to sit each 5–10 minutes; the riverfront area has regular seating and shaded spots."
Short, gentle Moonwalk (riverfront) stroll — benches & river breeze
"Reserve in advance and ask for a corner or courtyard table for a quieter, more intimate experience.Try their signature dishes (seasonal tasting or turtle soup) and request smaller plates to share for a cozy, shared meal.Allow plenty of time (reservations often comfortably accommodate long, unhurried lunches) — this is part of the romantic experience."
Leisurely lunch at Commander's Palace — A romantic, classic Creole meal
"Kids' menu & seating: request a high chair if needed and choose easy-share items (beignets can be messy — bring wipes and a change of clothes if worried).Allergy-aware: Morning Call will generally accommodate adjustments (ask about nut or dairy alternatives) — speak with staff when ordering.Quiet seating: ask for a shaded table away from the main walkway to avoid strollers being bumped and to keep a calm feeding environment for small kids."
Lunch & Beignets at Morning Call — kid-friendly café in the park
"If buying art or ceramics, discuss a budget as a group — many galleries will hold pieces if you arrange pick-up later.Save room in your bags: lightweight souvenirs like prints or jewelry are easier to split and carry home.Royal Street can get crowded; walk single-file in busy stretches and pick a café table if your group wants to linger."
Royal Street Stroll — Galleries & Local Shops
"Reserve a window seat in advance (rooftop seating is limited) so you get the best sunset vista together.Order a shareable cocktail flight or small plates to extend the moment without a noisy dining atmosphere.Bring a light wrap for spring evenings — rooftops can be windy once the sun sets, and a shared blanket makes for a cozy photo."
Sunset rooftop cocktails at Hot Tin — Golden-hour views and intimate seating
"Seating: benches and low walls offer many options; restrooms are nearby near the park entrance.Shelter: bring a light jacket for the river breeze in November; there is ample shade and paved paths for easy walking.Transfer tip: taxis and rideshares can drop you close to the park on the river side of Decatur Street for minimal walking."
Riverside rest at Woldenberg Park
"Age & height: most rides are perfect for ages 2–10; a parent can usually ride with toddlers. Ask attendants about height limits before queuing.Ticketing & line hack: buy tickets or wristbands early in the day (or check park counter) to avoid afternoon lines; keep one adult with kids while the other watches bags/diaper gear.Facilities: restrooms with changing stations are on-site and there are water fountains nearby — bring refillable bottles for hydration on warm spring days."
Carousel Gardens Amusement Park — gentle rides and historic carousel
"Make a reservation for table seating; request a table away from the speaker if you plan on long conversations between sets.Order several small plates to share (the menu is designed for grazing) — it keeps the bill fair and the table social.Expect a modest cover during live sets; factor cover charges into your nightly budget and split evenly."
