Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop
Arguably the oldest bar in New Orleans, this building dates back to 1772, making it one of the few French-built buildings that survived the great fires of 1788 and 1794. Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop was reputedly one of the gathering places for pirates such as the Lafitte brothers and Dominique Youx, when they came up to the city from Barataria Bay. Today, the bar is a regular stop on French Quarter walking tours. Whether you’re on a guided tour or just wandering the Quarter on your own, come down to Bourbon and St. Phillip streets for a taste of pirates, scoundrels, and adventure!

Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone
Located at 214 Royal Street, the Monteleone is steeped in New Orleans history and tradition. The hotel, in operation since 1886, opened a revolving bar in the lobby in 1949. The Carousel Bar seats 25, and opens out to the larger lobby bar. Enjoy a cocktail and just imagine what it was like to wait for performers to finish up their sets in the Swan Room next door, or for literary greats like Faulkner, Eudora Welty, or Truman Capote to come in for a nightcap.

The Sazerac Bar at The Roosevelt Hotel
While the Hotel Monteleone attracted musicians, artists and writers. The Roosevelt Hotel on Canal Street was a nexus of power and politics. Legendary Louisiana Governor and U.S. Senator Huey P. Long maintained a regular suite in the hotel, and would often conduct business in the hotel’s bars, particularly the Sazerac Bar. The bar is named after the drink considered by many to be the first cocktail ever invented. Every September, the bar celebrates 1949’s “Storming of the Sazerac” – the first time when women were allowed to drink in the bar (other than Mardi Gras Day).

Take a day trip to Oak Alley Plantation
A short drive from New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi, Oak Alley Plantation sits on 25 acres of southern bliss. As you walk up the oak-lined drive, you are transported to the antebellum years that seem to have frozen the mansion. Plus, the Mint Julep alone is worth the trip.

Frenchmen Street
Located in Faubourg Marigny, the city’s first subdivision, Frenchmen Street and the surrounding neighborhood were originally part of the Marigny family plantation. Bernard Marigny subdivided the plantation and sold the property off as residential lots. Frenchmen Street, from Esplanade Avenue to Washington Square, is home to a number of restaurants and music clubs, such as The Blue Nile and Three Muses. The neighborhood was one of the focal points of the HBO series, “Treme,” and continues to be popular as a “more-local” alternative to the French Quarter.
