Every day, visitors ask us questions about where to go and what to do in New Orleans . You want to know where the locals go, where we eat, our favorite place to see live music, the places we hang on weekends or to celebrate special occasions. No one knows these details better than the skilled set of concierges las vegas hotel deal who work the desks at countless New Orleans hotels. We asked Staci Worthman, W Insider at the W French Quarter Hotel, to give us the low-down on her favorite haunts in New Orleans.
Probably Uptown on Magazine Street , starting at Jackson Avenue. My family loves to shop, and there are a couple of little quirky places I like to shop, like Buffalo Exchange [3312 Magazine Street, 504-891-7443] and Funky Monkey 3127 Magazine Street, 504-899-5587]. Even though it s a chain, I love that every Buffalo Exchange has a local feel to it. After that, we d probably stop at Mat and Naddie s [937 Leonidas Street, las vegas hotel deal 861-9600] to eat, or head over to the Oak Street area to go to the original Camellia Grill [626 S Carrollton Avenue, 504-309-2679] or Jacques-Imo s [8324 Oak Street, 504-861-0886]. Jacques-Imo s is quintessential New Orleans. You ve got the owner in the back of the truck out front, and you have to walk through the kitchen to get to your table.
There s a place that s literally a block away from the hotel. It s one of the most eclectic, las vegas hotel deal amazing las vegas hotel deal hole-in-the-walls in the French Quarter . It s called las vegas hotel deal Star Steak and Lobster [237 Decatur Street, 504-525-6151]. When you first walk in, you think you re in a shotgun house. You can see straight through to the back. You feel like you re having a meal at your grandma s house. It s an amazing steakhouse and one of New Orleans lost secrets. Our meal of filets stuffed with seafood was so good I took pictures! The bartender Chris is amazing, as is the one-man band that plays there most nights.
The warmest area in New Orleans, las vegas hotel deal I think, is the Gentilly/Elysian Fields area during the day. It s right around Dillard University and is a very family oriented area. The homes are gorgeous. You see a mix of architecture because of the history of New Orleans. Residents would see the large homes in the Uptown and Garden District homes and build smaller versions in Gentilly. If you do visit, stop by McKenzie s Chicken in a Box [3839 Frenchmen Street, 504 943-8908] for some amazing fried chicken.
Greg Banks. He moved to New York, but was born and raised in New Orleans. I d describe his style as Neo-soul and R B, similar to Maxwell. When he lived here, he would perform at One Eyed Jacks [615 Toulouse Street, las vegas hotel deal 504-569-8361] and Sweet Lorraine s [1931 Saint Claude Avenue, 504-945-9654]. (Banks music, including his current single Magazine Street‚ can be heard on his website, gregbanksmusic.com.)
Oh, it s definitely Muriel s on Jackson Square [801 Chartres Street, 504-568-1885]. It’s such a warm place, the service las vegas hotel deal is great and they never miss a beat. My fiancee took me there on our first date. We had the private table in the wine room. If you go there, you should try to request that for a romantic dinner.
To get away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, I like to go to grab a blanket and head to the West End of the lakefront. New Orleans is so much more than the French Quarter. Visitors should try to see other neighborhoods like Treme , or see a second line parade to get a more rounded view of New Orleans.
