Listen to WWOZ or go to their website for gigs.
The Bywater is so fun to walk around in. Cute little colorful houses. I also like to walk down Magazine St.
Turkey and The Wolf is insta famous now, but for good reason. Their sandwhiches are good. If you want a classic po boy, go to Parkway Bakery and then walk up Bayou St. John and lay in the grass or dip into City Park and lay in the grass.
Who Dat Coffee for breakfast.
Hotel Peter and Paul is a chic place to grab a cocktail.
Parlour Books is a cool little used book spot.
Hungry Eyes for wine and 80’s vibes and delicious dishes.

Walk through the French Quarter just to get a feel for it, for maxximalizing the senses, but I don’t linger. Unless I want a Huge Ass Beer™️ or Hand Grenade©️. I would head towards Magazine St. or Frenchman for music.
Try and walk every street through the Bywater and take in all the beautiful houses.

Top Recs from @Shadowbeni
a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
