Food Scene

Cosy local restaurant, great food. Google reviewer: Pros: Cozy and colorful atmosphere. Great paella, ceviche, sangria. BYOB w/o corking fee (but get the sangria). Cons: No reservations and crowded on weekend nights, but understandable for such a small restaurant . . .the bill adds up very quickly. The only real annoyance is that they accept CASH only. I had a bill of $100 for a party of 4 and a bill of $230 for a party of 6. For their prices a credit card machine would be a huge convenience.

The Backstreet Cultural Museum holds the world’s most comprehensive collection related to New Orleans’ African American community-based masking and processional traditions, including the Mardi Gras Indians, jazz funerals, social aid and pleasure clubs, Baby Dolls, and Skull and Bone gangs. The museum’s filmed records of over 500 events constitute the most cohesive archive documenting these cultural traditions. In addition to its permanent exhibits, the Backstreet Cultural Museum hosts public performances of music and dance, provides outreach programs, and creates an annual book, Keeping Jazz Funerals Alive, that chronicles the year’s jazz funerals. The Backstreet Cultural Museum educates diverse constituencies about New Orleans’ African American heritage. - Atlas Obscura

Located in the Lower Ninth Ward since 2003 is a backyard museum that could only exist in New Orleans. The House of Dance & Feathers educates its visitors about the culture of Mardi Gras Indians, Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs and Skull & Bone Gangs through the lens of one man's participation in these parades over the course of decades. In founding the museum on his own turf, Ronald W. Lewis sought to preserve and share this unique culture with the world, ensuring that this unique set of knowledge and traditions are passed on for generations to come. Though certainly noble in mission, the realty of the House of Dance & Feathers' hinged on slightly more practical matters; after years of feathers and beadwork taking over their house, Lewis' wife had had enough. Relegated with his materials to the back shed, the museum's director and curator decided opening up his workspace to any and all interested parties was a natural extension of the costumes' ultimate purpose (for public celebration). As a testament to the uniqueness of the marching cultures celebrated at the House of Dance & Feathers, the Mardi Gras Indians, Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs and Skull & Bone Gangs continue to be popular favorites, thanks to their delicate, hand-crafted nature and profound social significance that seems to stand in direct contrast to the million-dollar floats of Mardi Gras' more widely renowned parades. - Atlas Obscura

Sightseeing

Located in New Orleans' Audubon Park, so-called The Tree of Life (officially the Étienne de Boray Oak) is the city's premier grand old oak. from Atlas Obscura: Named after the first mayor of New Orleans, and the man who was largely responsible for bringing sugar cane to the area as a primary money crop. . . .It's unclear just how old the sprawling oak is, but given its size, the Live Oak Society, which chose the tree as one of its original inductees, believes it to be between 100-500 years old. . . .The gnarled, knobby tree is a favorite among the locals that know about it. Lots of people also choose to have their wedding photos taken under the branches. Traveling on East Drive away from the River, the Tree of Life is located across a small patch of grass where Annunciation street ends.

Great neighborhood grocery plus butcher shop. Nice selection and very reasonable prices. The best grocery in Mid-City with a little of everything, but known for their butcher shop. Father son combo butchers doing this their entire lives, 2 cashiers are mom and daughter in law. Some say the best sausage in the city, the best hogs head cheese, the best stuffed pork chops. Early Saturday (only) they sell muffulettas.

A wonderful place to listen to live music! Great house sound system, loud and clear, but not maxed out (owner is a musician). Good drink prices, good service, eclectic crowd. Above 50yo for the early set, and depending on the band/musician, younger crowd fills in later. Excellent BBQ from Blue Oak (restaurant located in the bar).

Parks & Nature

City Park, a 1,300 acre (5.3 km²) public park in New Orleans, Louisiana, is the 87th largest and 7th-most-visited urban public park in the United States. City Park is approximately 50% larger than Central Park in New York City, the municipal park recognized by Americans nationwide as the archetypal urban greenspace. Facilities: City Park has dozens of attractions that make it a popular destination in Greater New Orleans. New Orleans Botanical Garden: a lush 13-acre (53,000 m2) site containing a large collection of temperate, tropical, and semitropical plants. The Garden is also home to the New Orleans Historic Train Garden, a G-scale model railroad exhibit with houses representing the various neighborhoods of the city recreated in twigs, bark, and other plant matter. New Orleans Museum of Art: originally named the Delgado Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art is considered one of the finest art museums in the South. Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden: opened in 2003, the Besthoff Sculpture Garden features over 30 works of world-renowned sculptures in a beautifully landscaped area featuring mature live oak trees. Weddings & Catering: venues within the park host hundreds of weddings and other functions throughout the year. The park is the largest non-hotel caterer in the city. Historic Structures: the Peristyle, Popp Bandstand and the Casino Building were constructed between 1907 and 1917. Popp Fountain was added in 1937. City Park Golf Courses: "The North Course at City Park" reopened in 2008 after undergoing a slight redesign with new greens and tees. City Park Driving Range: a 100-tee, double decker driving range. Softball and Soccer: the park offers more than a dozen softball and soccer fields. Tad Gormley Stadium: originally known as City Park Stadium, this multipurpose arena seats 26,500 and was built by the Works Progress Administration. Pan American Stadium: a 5,000 seat stadium, home of the New Orleans Jesters National Premier Soccer League soccer team. Track: the 400-meter, international track was designed as a practice track for the 1992 US Olympic Track & Field Trials. Tennis: the City Park Tennis Center, featuring rubico and hard courts, is one of the largest municipal tennis facilities in the South. Boating and Fishing: the Park features 11 miles (18 km) of lagoons, lakes and bayous stocked with a wide variety of fish, including bass. Boating returned to City Park in 2009. Fishing is allowed seasonally. The park also hosts an annual fishing rodeo: one of the oldest in the nation. Horse Stables: Equest Farm offers boarding for horses, party accommodation, and equestrian lessons. Celebration in the Oaks: a popular holiday light and entertainment extravaganza that generates 13 percent of the park’s annual operating budget. City Park holds the world's largest collection of mature live oak trees, some older than 600 years in age. The park was founded in 1854, making it one of the oldest parks in the country, and established as the "City Park" in 1891. Although it is an urban park whose land is owned by the City of New Orleans, it is administered by the City Park Improvement Association, an arm of state government, not by the New Orleans Parks and Parkways Department. City Park is very unusual in that it is a largely self-supporting public park, with most of its annual budget derived from self-generated revenue through user fees and donations.

The Lafitte Greenway is a 2.6-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail and green corridor connecting neighborhoods from Armstrong Park to City Park. The City of New Orleans broke ground on the $9.1 million project in March of 2014, and opened the Greenway in November of 2015. The Lafitte Greenway transforms one of the city's most historic transportation corridors--originally a canal connecting to Bayou St. John to the edge of the French Quarter, and later a railroad right-of-way that has sat vacant since the mid-twentieth century--into a multi-use transportation corridor and linear park. The Lafitte Greenway extends from the intersection of N. Alexander and St. Louis streets in Mid-City to Basin Street and St. Louis Street in Tremé, blocks from the French Quarter. The Greenway includes a 12-foot asphalt path for cyclists and pedestrians, new recreation fields, green space, and landscaping improvements including approximately 500 shade trees, native plant meadows, bioswales and stormwater retention features. The path is fully lit with LED energy-efficient trail lighting, and includes curb extensions, signalized high visibility crosswalks, Americans with Disabilites Act-compliant curb ramps at sidewalk corners, environmental remediation, a crushed stone walking path, and a bicycle and pedestrian roundabout.
