Friday lunches here are a New Orleans tradition. Like a lot of things in New Orleans, it's not the easiest. They don't take reservations and coats are required. It's worth the wait in line if you want a very long, boisterous (bordering on raucous) lunch filled with seafood and steak.

This is a champagne bar that I happened to design (I'm an architect). It's a quick walk from the house. Go get some fantastic small plates and sit in the courtyard. Don't let the nomenclature fool you, they have beer and liquor.

Parks & Nature
One of the best views in the city. You can actually take some wine or beer (just be mindful of the glass) and watch the ships go by. It's a must on a pretty day. Just take the stairs over the flood wall and you'll be in one of New Orleans newest parks.

Sightseeing
If you do decide to go stay on the side closest to the house/Esplanade (the Northeast portion). Lafitte's Blacksmith is always fun. DO NOT hangout on the closest block to Canal Street (near the Krystal's). It can get dicey.

Avoid the blocks of Bourbon Street right off Canal Street
Enjoy Bourbon Street, just not the two blocks right of Canal Street. If you see the Krystal's just keep moving. There are a lot of unfortunate incidents that have been happening in this vicinity.
