1 day in N.O. recommendations

Have you ever been to New Orleans before? For most visitors, if you only had one day, I would spend it in the French Quarter. Lots of great restaurants, cafes and bars as well as attractions!

August will be pretty hot, so definitely stay hydrated and seek air-conditioning when you can.

Frommer%26#39;s has a good one-day itinerary: frommers.com/destinations/鈥?020020766.html

1 day in N.O. recommendations

thanks for quick reply.. First time in NO. I was stationed in Shreveport for 2 years but never made it down to NO.. I will definitely checkout the Frommers link..

Only 1 day. Hmmmmm Walk a lot in the French Quarter. Stroll down Bourbon, take in Jackson Square, The French market, walk down the moonwalk to Canal and take the free ferry to Algiers.

I would take the street car from magazine st into the quarter (maybe getting on the St.Charles line over to Camellia Grill along the way for Pecan Pie/waffles), and then walk along Royal to check out the shops (if only as an excuse to duck into air conditioning once in a while-August will be STEAMY!), up Decatur for the French Market and Beignets and Iced Cafe Au Lait, over to the moonwalk to see the Mighty Mississippi, up Bourbon to see what that%26#39;s all about (and maybe stopping to try a Hurricane at Lafittes Blacksmith shop-the oldest bar in America). Dinner someplace with great local cuisine (Coops, Gumbo Shop or Muriels for casual dining; Stella!, Antoines, Bayona for something more upscale) and then maybe finally joining up with a French Quarter haunted walking tour-my favorite is with %26#39;Bloody Mary%26#39;-for a dose of history and some spooky tales.

You can even do dinner AFTER the tour if need be.

have fun!
