Activity itinerary

Bourbon Street

While Bourbon Street itself is in the French Quarter, this specific address is the corporate headquarters/visitor hub for Mardi Gras New Orleans, located on the historic St. Charles Avenue tram line. It serves as a fantastic jump-off point to learn about parade routes and history.

Frenchmen Street

  • 20m

The local favourite alternative to Bourbon Street. This vibrant multi-block stretch in the Marigny area is the live-music capital of New Orleans, lined with jazz clubs, brass bands playing in the streets, and art markets. Included Item: Speciality Drink – A local craft beer (like an Abita Amber) or a classic Sazerac at one of the live music venues.

Lower 9th Ward

Melba's on Elysian Fields

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
A high-energy, 24/7 area institution famous for serving up massive po-boys, fried chicken, and sides to locals and travellers alike. It's also famous for its "Eat and Read" programme, hosting major author book-signings right inside the restaurant. Included Item: Taste Testing & Speciality Drink – A sampler of their famous Hot Link or Roast Beef Debris Po-Boy, paired with one of their signature colourful Daiquiris from the wall of machines.

Sammy's Food Services & Deli

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
A beloved, no-frills area joint that has been serving up some of the best, most authentic Creole-Italian and soul food comfort plates in the city for decades.

Calas Cafe

  • 20m

Nestled right in the heart of the French Quarter near Jackson Square, this cafe specialises in a nearly lost New Orleans delicacy: Calas (fried Creole rice cakes dusted in powdered sugar, dating back to the 18th century).

Fats Domino's Home

  • 10m
The iconic, landmark pink-and-white home of rock 'n' roll founding father Antoine "Fats" Domino.
