Outdoor Beauty

City Park is amazing! It's full of gorgeous oak trees with long mossy limbs. It is the largest municipal park in the country, larger than Central Park in NYC. Most people don't know that!

Whatever you do during your time in New Orleans, do not miss the Sculpture Garden!!! It is easily one of my favorite spots in the city and it's close enough to walk from my place.

It's only 3 blocks away and it's truly lovely: a quaint bayou that runs all the way down to City Park. Locals ride bikes, kayak and picnic there.

A great park that boasts many local weekend festivals during festival season and drumming on Sundays at Congo Square. French Quarter adjacent.

Lots of great seafood and other creole favorites. Menu rotates daily and it's super popular, with good reason. The chargrilled oysters will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!! A stone's throw from the house ;)

Arguably the most popular po-boy spot in the city. Closed on Tuesdays. Near the bayou for a picnic on a nice day, or at least a walk afterwards!

This place is so very close, literally at the end of the block. If I threw a rock hard enough I'd probably hit it! I'm not a big meat eater so I've never eaten here, but it's popular and I've heard good things.

This place truly rocks. They have a menu for meat eaters and a menu for vegans, both identical. The bread is to die for!

There are many gems on this list, but Marjie's takes the cake. Their food is, quite simply, incredible. It's best described as a fusion of Southeast Asian flavors with local seafood and regional dishes. Their menu will incorporate whatever they find at the farmers market that day or whatever fresh catch someone happens to bring in! Also they have a cute back patio seating area if the weather's nice. Pro tip: go for lunch. More bang for your buck. Also visit their FB or IG to see what specials they may have on the menu that day.

This place is so delightful and unique, it's hard to give a description that does it justice. Think quirky repurposed odds and ends built into musical instruments divvied into structures and stations. Local and touring artists and musicians perform here and it's always super creative and out of the box... the environment promotes it. There are also occasional seasonal markets and open hours for the public to explore and play around. https://musicboxvillage.com/

The Lafitte Greenway is a bicycle/pedestrian trail and green corridor connecting neighborhoods from Armstrong Park at the foot of the French Quarter to City Park here in Mid-City. It is quite literally behind my house at the end of the block! Spans 2.6 miles.
