If you’re a history buff, or just like a good story, then the Hotel Monteleone is the best place to stay. Holding the reputation for being a luxurious historical hot spot, famous faces such as Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams have slept within the hotel. Additionally: besides the incredible array of stories, this hotel is home to the famous carousel bar — the entire bar rotates as a functioning carousel, minus the horses. This hotel definitely has the NOLA charm you’ll be anticipating.
One of the quintessential staples of geographical features in NOLA are the swamps. Unlike a traditional boat tour, you and your travel companions will be kayaking through the mystical waters of the swampland, seeing every detail up close. Two of the most popular swap kayaking tours are the Honey Island tour and the Mancha Mystic Wildlife tour. This is definitely a fun activity that will make for the most memorable trip.
Looking for a good local brew and some barbeque? The NOLA Brewing Company is a quaint spot that will give anyone who enters an appreciation for their year-round and seasonal beers. If you’re looking to broaden your brewing knowledge, you can even take a tour — which includes a free beer, too! It’s definitely a must-see attraction for those who are twenty-one and over!
One of most unique spots around town is the Boutique Du Vampyre, which is the only vampire shop in America, that holds a spooky surprise. Having been the supplier for many of the props of famed vampire-based films and television shows, this shop is the ultimate destination for all your vampire fandom needs. While shopping around the boutique, the owners may let you in on a little secret: there’s a vampire speakeasy nearby. If invited, you’ll acquire the location and secret code — then off you go to enjoy some spooky cocktails while overlooking the excitement of Bourbon Street.
Having appeared in multiple films and television shows, Café Du Monde is known for having the best beignets in the world. Although this is a prime destination for anyone with a sweet tooth, the lines can be rather lengthy — sometimes with a wait time of 2 hours! If you simply can’t wait to feast on the best beignets on earth, go late at night! Café Du Monde is open twenty-four hours and always serves the famous hot pastries!
