If I were the OP, I'd try to immerse myself in the culture/people as much as possible. New Orleans is probably the most unique American city I can think of. Just completely different from every other city I've ever been in. Whatever you do, enjoy it.

I remember Plano before it was absorbed by Dallas.

Spent my HS years in Plano. Honestly it was a disaster of a place for teenagers at that time. Lots of overdoses and suicides.

Go to the site of the Battle of New Orleans, I found the site to be fascinating with a tour guide describing the battle lines and such to us.
Its where General Andrew Jackson made a name for himself as it brought about the end of the War of 1812. Estimated casualties of the battle was U.S. 62 to England's 2,034. And England had more forces on the field. Its just a few miles away from New Orleans. |

Also you can go on a bus tour of the Garden District which is pretty cool and they throw in an old cemetery to check out as well. They use to have a families for generations placed in those big crypts. It was kind of weird but informative.

Don’t know if it’s still there but the scotch house. It might be Willie Mays scotch house? Great chicken, and great New Orleans atmosphere.
The red beans and rice are the bomb as well. |

Best food in the city is at Jacques-Imo’s in my opinion. Brigtsen’s and Shaya are also incredible.
Best sandwiches are at Cochon Butcher and Parkway Poboys. Best cocktails are at the Cure. Best place for live music is anywhere on Frenchmen Street—dba, Spotted Cat, Blue Nile. If you’re not having a great time in NOLA, the problem is you. |
