Introduction

New Orleans is a fascinating fusion of West African, First American, Spanish, and French history, making it the most diverse city in the United States. It has a complicated history that represents the story of the United States. The food here is nothing like what you will find in the South – or the rest of the world, for that instance.

Is New Orleans safe to visit?

New Orleans is just as secure as any other big city. Nevertheless, if you intend on heading out to the clubs, you will need to be vigilant and keep an eye on your belongings. As in every other major city in the world or the US, there are places where crime is more prevalent. Stick to the most popular tourist locations, particularly during nighttime.

After dark, parts of the French Quarter, including the notorious Bourbon Street, may become disorderly with drunk people and partygoers, so exercise extreme caution in the French Quarter, mainly when you are alone.

You should be alright walking around in the daytime, considering your cash and other valuables are all tucked in a safe place. Even after doing so, stay alert and do not venture too far from the traveler tracks. 

What are the best places to stay in New Orleans?

Several visitors who plan their trips to New Orleans choose to lodge in the French Quarter. 

Most tourists prefer this place because it is beautiful and among some popular areas of town, but with this comes the tag of being the busiest, the noisiest, and the most costly accommodation.

Therefore, we further suggest lodging in the Garden District. 

The place is lovely and peaceful, and there are plenty of magnificent mansions and gardens in abundance, and many other attractions too!

The only downside is that you will have to ride the historic St. Charles Streetcar or take a cab, to and fro, from the French Quarter. We would suggest that it is worth spending some money, as you will be residing in a less cramped part of town.

Some of the suggestions are:

Hotel Provincial

Hotel Provincial is a wonderful boutique hotel, centrally situated in the French Quarter. The hotel includes a glamorous historic mansion, majestic courtyards, a perfect photography historic mansion, and spacious rooms. If you’re one of the people who seek adventure in spooky things, there is good news for you– this place is haunted!

City House Hostel New Orleans

In the middle of the French Quarter, this hostel provides private rooms and dorms for budget tourists.

The Henry Howard Hotel

This hotel is a charming small hotel located in the Garden District, converted from a historic townhouse. All the rooms of this hotel are themed after New Orleans!

The Quisby

This hotel is a comfortable place to be with well-decorations. It is situated in the Lower Garden District, a perfect location, as it is just a few walks away from any place you want to see while on vacation.

Airbnb

If you are thinking of staying in Airbnbs, you should make sure that they have a business license. This is because there are some limitations in some parts of New Orleans. Both in the Garden District and French Quarter, short-term holiday rentals are prohibited.

Nonetheless, some amazing locations do have legal permits to operate short-term holiday rentals. 

One of the best-known names is The Laurel House, situated in the Irish District. Nevertheless, this residential place is close to the Garden District and has a traditional New Orleans aesthetic. 

Another place to lodge is a very lavish condo in Treme, having a big bath and a severe old-style luxury, which is only a short distance away from the French District.

The best time to visit New Orleans

April, May, or October are the best months to visit. For enjoying the ideal spring weather with warm and pleasant conditions, choose your vacation time between April and May. Providing the city turns unbearably hot and humid in the summer.

Mid-October and January, the town is also nearly empty, and what suitable time to tour one of America’s most haunted parts than October?

If you travel between these months, remember to carry warm apparel because New Orleans gets pretty cold in the winter.

Although noisy and exceedingly costly during the Mardi Gras season, the city will be festive, starting from January to March. If you want to travel, make your reservations at least a year in advance!

Moreover, you can go to New Orleans in the first week of April, right after Mardi Gras, which will be ideal timing as the mood will still be festive, and one could see the Mardi Gras decorations still dangling from fences and trees. However, there will be no more crowd, and the prices will turn affordable.

The weather was generally good and bright, but it could sometimes give you surprises of being a little cooler than expected, with some drizzles.

Must-drink New Orlean cocktails

Being a foodie and a party town, New Orleans is a place to enjoy some truly fantastic cocktails! Many historic and popular cocktails can be found here.

Brandy Milk Punch

The Brandy Milk Punch, popular at Brennan’s Restaurant, is made up of milk, brandy, and nutmeg is one of the famous seasonal drinks. Earlier served only during the winter seasons, it is now available all year round in New Orleans. 

Absinthe

Declared illegal during the 1800s in the United States for its hallucinogenic properties; in 1934, a group of New Orleans residents began preparing it without using wormwood and started selling it under a new name. Now, this popular local drink is available at the hidden vampire bar behind Boutique du Vampyre.

Grasshopper

Usual name for an unusual drink. Named Tujague, this cocktail was invented in 1918 in New Orleans’ second oldest restaurant. The drink tastes of mint in a chocolate chip milkshake but without giving you hangover effects. If you are having this drink in a perfectly preserved historic bar, then you might feel like you have gone back in time where it was invented.

What are the must-try foods in New Orleans?

New Orleans city is full of foodies. And it is not only about the taste, but the food narrates the city’s story and history. 

Oysters Rockefeller

Topped with herbs, these Oysters are baked with perfection with decent spices and a little bit of butter and bread crumbs on the top. The best place to have Oysters Rockefeller is Antoine’s or Galatoire’s, where they were first made.

Beignets

Need we say anything about beignets?– They are yummy deep-fried dough coated in sugar. For people with a sweet tooth, this is a treat.

Red Beans and Rice

Usually served on Mondays, many eateries serve this dish with your dinner.

Muffaletta

Another form of classic New Orleans sandwich. This sandwich is served on a particular round bread, having sprinkled sesame seeds on top. Created by Sicilian immigrants for local Italian workers, the bread is filled with antipasta and olive salad.

Po-Boy

Po-Boys are flaky, chewy New Orleans-style baguettes consisting of seafood or meat served with herbs.

Cajun Food

Coming from Southwest Louisiana, the cuisine is spicy and rustic. The Cajun cuisine has a very rare combination of spices that is quite addictive and gives a great kick. This cuisine is filled with all the magic. When you season Creole food with cajun seasoning, you’ve got New Orleans cuisine!

Crawfish

These low-country classics are also known as “mud-bugs.” After hearing this name, some people get suspicious about trying them. Still, if you give the heads for trying them, do not eat them whole. It will make your stomach churn. Eat them like a pie, and besides, crawfish pie can also be found on menus all over the town.

Gumbo

The Gumbo dish is the heart and soul of New Orleans. It has an earthy, smoky, rich flavor and a deep brown color, making it of the most popular New Orleans’ blended creole cuisine. The combination of Native American, West African, Spanish, and French ingredients is the attraction from New Orleans’ past.
