THINGS TO DO
MUSEUMS
New orleans cemetery tour or St Louis cemetery tour
much more interesting and far less macabre than you’d expect
Voodoo and French Quarter Walking Tour
highly highly reccomend- genuinely a good time
had the best time doing this and came out of it very terrified of nature
free tour and free tasting

faulkner house books, Baldwin & Co. and crescent city books
crescent city books has a cat named wesley
Zele and derby pottery
local art and souviners
one of the oldest perfumeries in the united states
incense, crystals and all the woowoo
highly reccomend just meandering magazine street or royal street for funky thrifting and antique shops
SHOPPING
THINGS TO EAT AND DRINK
our personal favorite- specifically the parm and chive biscuit, the shroom boom, and the kaya bun
we loved the vaucroissant and the cornmeal muffin which is objectively the perfect carb
get a slice of the king cake and the chantilly cake
