“I'm usually not a big fan of guided tours, especially for museums, but this might be my one exception. Grace was fantastic and she's what really made this museum extra awesome. I didn't know much about pharmacy nor did I think I wanted to learn more about it but I was completely captivated by the way she taught us all of the history.”
“Nestled within the charming Garden District of Louisiana, my stay at Sully Mansion was nothing short of enchanting, with simply breathtaking interiors. Each corner, including the wonderful garden, was adorned with tasteful decorations, exuding elegance and charm. The atmosphere was so comfortable, making it the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploring.From the friendly staff to the thoughtful touches, every detail contributed to the heightened experience of my trip.It not only provided a cozy haven but also added an extra layer of magic to my journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly exceptional accommodation in Louisiana.”
“We absolutely loved having our wedding and reception at The Jaxson! The venue is beautiful, and the team is so incredible to work with. They make planning easy, and they take the time to make sure you feel special and taken care of. We can’t recommend them enough!”
“Very nice and clean space. Everyone was so inviting and helpful. The bartender was great, and so was the food. Our pickleball wedding shower was a huge success!!”
“After a long stimulating day in The French Quarter, this Irish Cultural Museum is the PERFECT spot to sit back, relax, enjoy Irish culture and Irish coffee with or without the coffee! It's a quaint family owned and operated bar with a small yet impactful museum. Take in the images and journeys through the potato famine in Ireland which led to the flight of Irish to America. Also a great spot if you love the courtyards New Orleans is famous for.”
“The Elms was an unbelievable venue to have our wedding at. We were not sure what to fully expect, as the Elms was recommended to us from our planner, but we booked it without even seeing it ourselves (we live up north). When we saw it the day before our wedding, it totally blew us away. The photos are great but cannot do it justice. Everything was perfectly executed and our guests were in awe. We cannot recommend this venue enough!”
“Paradigm gardens was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding day. Many of our wedding guests said the wedding food was the best wedding food they had ever had. The staff is amazing and are so easy to work with especially Karen. The venue is gorgeous and they do such a great job with decor. Thank yall so much!! We loved every minute of our day.”
“Husband and I went to The Fillmore for the first time to attend a Boney James concert which was WONDERFUL. (This was a seated concert. Not standing room only). The acoustics in this place are great and the stadium seating toward the back was comfy. The only complaint is there was no bottled water to purchase.”
“BK House was closed due to them cleaning up from a late night event the prior night. One of the staff members did let us in to tour the property ourselves. The staff was very friendly and its a cool house. A very distant ancestor of mine was married to the daughter of the man who had the house built so I was glad they let us come in and look around.”
“Love this hidden GEM!!!
It's clean, the staff is nice, great atmosphere, and clean grounds!
Rooms: Each room is different, the architecture of the main house itself is breathtaking!”

333 Bourbon St 3rd Floor, New Orleans“I planned my bestie's bachelorette party in nola and decided to book a party with Sharon Hart @ Bourbon Street Balcony Rentals for dinner and a balcony experience (located at Cornet). It was the best decision EVER and ended up being my favorite part of the entire weekend. Sharon decorated our dining area with cute Mardi Gras themed masks and beads. We had a private bartender with an open bar (shout out to bartender Shay who made great drinks and blasted Spice Girls for us) and a delicious/simple buffet served by Mr. Reynard that pleased even our picky eaters of the group—he even went out on Bourbon to snap pics of us up on the balcony. Sharon also has a beads supplier who was able to pre-deliver our beads and throws, so everything was setup and ready to go for our girls. The entire party felt like a once-in-lifetime to have the balcony and to experience nola from that vantage point. It was worth every single penny and more. If you are planning a bachelor or bachelorette party... YOU NEED TO DO THIS!”
10AM - 5PM
403 Royal St, New Orleans“To start, I think my wedding was without a doubt the best night of my life thanks to Latrobe's. To us, the night was perfect. From the champagne skirt upon reception entrance, to the INCREDIBLE food, the staff dancing with everyone on the dance floor, Marte making sure we were always having fun and had a drink in hand, to Rylan at the helm of a second line to end the night. I can't even count how many people came up to us to sing praises of the Latrobe's team, but if I had to guess, it was all 120 of our guests! The Latrobe's team are some of the most wonderful people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting and we will never forget all that they did for us. I truly don't think there is a venue out there that does it better than them. We have had the time of our lives working with these wonderful people to pull off our New Orleans destination wedding and my only wish is that I can do it all over again with them every year. From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything!”
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Coconut Beach Complex in Kenner, Louisiana, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. This spot offers a delightful mix of relaxation, entertainment, and vibrant tropical vibes, making it a perfect spot for both locals and tourists alike.First and foremost, the location of Coconut Beach Complex is truly unbeatable. Situated right by beautiful lake pinchatrain.The facilities at Coconut Beach Complex are top-notch. The management has clearly invested a lot of effort into maintaining a clean and well-maintained environment. The restrooms are spotless, and there are plenty of shaded areas and tables. The beach chairsWhen it comes to food and beverages, Coconut Beach has you covered. Their on-site beach bar offers a wide selection of tropical cocktails and refreshing drinks, perfect for cooling down on a hot day. The menu features a delicious assortment of snacks and light bites, with options to satisfy every palate.Overall, my experience at the Coconut Beach Complex was fantastic. The combination of its location, well-maintained facilities, exciting volleyball, and delicious food and drinks make it an ideal destination for anyone looking to unwind and have some fun. Whether you're a local or a traveler exploring Louisiana, I highly recommend visiting this volleyball complex in Kenner. It will undoubtedly leave you with lasting memories of sun, sand, and relaxation.”
“A nice park with a walking trail, 2 Playgrounds (one is covered) a pond to feed all of the different types of ducks, geese and birds. But NO BREAD. Only cooked rice, seedless grapes, oats and corn. Bread makes them sick. We had fun here.”

5224 Taravella Rd, Marrero“I have had probably about 4-5 of my kids birthday party here. They make it so easy that you do not have to worry about a thing. You show up, drop what you need off in the front, and you just enjoy your kids birthday party without a worry. It is nice how you get the whole place to yourself. There are plenty of inflatables to keep all the kids busy. The room to eat and sing is the perfect size. They also do everything. I highly recommend Candyland if you are looking for a place for your kid's birthday party.”
7:00 AM - 10:00 PM
3811 St Charles Ave, New Orleans“Cool bar and restaurant in this fabulous hotel. We asked the manager for a quick tour, and we were delighted with the experience... Very cool to see an inside glimpse of the private patio for hotel guests, and unique features in each boutique room... So much to explore next time!”
“This is a gorgeous event venue..Its clean affordable..Ms. White is awesome...I was a bit star struck at how nice this venue is..Definitely one to place on your list..”
“If you have an event in Nola you need to do it at the Firehouse Loft! If you're considering other venues, don't. The venue is gorgeous, the owner and staff are super helpful and the nicest people.Preamble: We live outside Louisiana and were coming for celebration of life for my father, New Orleans style, looking for a venue that would suit the vibe we were looking for. Once we found Firehouse we realized quickly we couldn't do it anywhere else.The Venue: Modern, yet historic. The building is a converted firehouse, as the name implies. Sean, the owner, and his team did a great job elevating the space into something modern and conversational. Every detail was done tastefully, from the art, furniture, to general flow for any event size. They typically are tailored to festive, work or personal, events but even as a celebration of life the venue was perfect.The Staff: Sean and his team were super communicative throughout the process, even going above and beyond in the planning stage and throughout the event and after. They have vendors that support any festivity and can accommodate all price points. For reference, we only rented the space and a bartender to serve wine and beer, but they ramp up options from there.I cannot say enough about both the staff and venue. It is hard to fault the space in any form. The only real criticism I could render is that the space does not have an elevator, which in the case of our party was not a problem but could be if attendees have mobility problems. The space is on the second floor so be aware of that. I know overly glowing reviews typically raise an eyebrow or two, but there is almost nothing to fault and I struggled to find one, so there you go. Again, truly appreciate Firehouse Loft and Sean's team for everything they did.”

930 Tchoupitoulas St Ste A, New Orleans“Delicious food and a nice place to host a gathering. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. The bread pudding for dessert was a perfect way to end the meal.”
“Once again people recommended this place for its food it was okay it was good I've had better service was good the people were friendly the place was beautiful if you're into that sort of thing definitely start by besides we look for a place every now and then to get dressed out of our regular clothes and look nice for occasion”

610 Fulton St, New Orleans“Went on a Monday and saw the amateurs. Was a nice small comedy club and the hosts did a great job entertaining everyone and covering for the unfunny comics. We had a great time and I’d definitely recommend it to everyone.”
“Cookie the bartender was awesome. I was alone and from out of town and she made me feel very welcome when I was obviously out of place. Great vibe.
Beware, there are items being smoked inside (everything but cigarettes) so know that your clothes will smell the next day. Or something to consider if you have asthma.
Huge outdoor space with awesome smelling food.
30+ year olds only.”

42 Dreyfous Dr, New Orleans“City Park has my heart. It's full of childhood and adult memories for me. It's also my ideal date spot. Let's go to the Sculpture Garden followed by some Cafe du Monde and a stroll around the park. If we're lucky, we'll get to swing as well. Let's go!”
“Great vibes and better coffee! One of the neighbors recently started watching Leeds games there with hopes for it to catch on. They're always doing fun things and the people are wonderful”

5100 Lapalco Blvd, Marrero“Absolutely beautiful venue! Catering people and Bar Tender were professional, friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, my Husband LOVED the cookies, I was partial to the Chicken pasta-really great sauce! Decorations were classy and high quality (not balloons and also not "over the top"). This definitely felt like a first class affair! It's not often I'm thankful for an invite to a party where I knew absolutely no one who was going to be there except my Husband, but this venue definitely made, even me, feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”

621 St Louis St, New Orleans“Stayed one night. Nice hotel and great location. We had a 2nd floor balcony and we loved that we could hear the street action and live music from our room. Room was spacious and comfy. They do need to tend to the balcony floor - the wood decking has seen better days, but I would still stay in the exact room again.”
Open 24 hours
4545 Williams Blvd, Kenner“Pontchartrain is where the annual Lagniappe Cluster of AKC dog shows are held. I have many fond memories from here. That said, it's not overly handicapped friendly. It took them YEARS to put in a ramp that was reasonably safe for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. The doors are excruciatingly heavy and hard to open if you are a solo mobility impaired person. They do not unlock the Accessible bathroom-- one must figure out how the push through more heavy doors to reach a bathroom. I do think $5 for a bottle of water is too much. Take a sweater. The AC is cranked down to freezing. This is good when one is running dogs around a ring. Not so good if sitting and watching. Will be back!”

1200 Bridge City Ave, Bridge City“Great venue! My brother and and his wife had a party for their 3 year old! It was great with the food, drinks and music! I recommend anyone wanting to rent for any events to get this place!”
