1. VISIT THE FRENCH QUARTER
Walk through the French Quarter, the most beautiful part of New Orleans. Visit Jackson Square and the stunning St. Louis Cathedral while you're there, and stop at the French Market and one of the many excellent restaurants in the area for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. If you want to be close to all the excitement on Bourbon Street, then you should stay in the French Quarter, which is the epicenter of the city's tourism industry. In addition to being conveniently located near a wide variety of shops, cafes, and entertainment venues, this hotel also provides guests with quick and easy access in and out during the day, making it ideal for those who need to make quick stops for things like groceries or naps.
Get in touch with your spiritual side with a reading from a psychic in the French Quarter, not far from Jackson Square. New Orleans is renowned as one of the most ghostly in the United States, so it only seems fitting to engage in some eerie activities while there. You may be certain that your future is filled with joy if you have your bachelor's or bachelorette party in New Orleans.
2. LEARN TO MAKE PERFECT COCKTAILS AT SAZERAC HOUSE
This new all-encompassing adventure will allow you to go even deeper into the storied history of the cocktail in the city of New Orleans. The Sazerac House, named after the city's oldest drink, is a distillery and cocktail bar that gives tours, serves samples, and hosts events where mixologists demonstrate their craft.
A liquor shop is conveniently located on the premises, so you can easily stock up if you discover a new go-to drink.
3. ENJOY SOME IRISH COFFEE
Even coffee has a unique flavor in New Orleans. If you lag in the afternoon, Erin Rose is where to go for a refreshing iced Irish coffee. The whiskey and espresso in this drink will keep you on the go for hours longer.
4. PLUNGE INTO THE ROYAL STREET ART SCENE
Did you know the French Quarter is home to some remarkable works of art? Many amazing art galleries, family-run antique stores, and talented buskers can all be found along Royal Street. Everyone in your group will have a good time strolling these exciting streets.
5. EXPLORE THE SWAMP
Who else can boast that they celebrated their bachelor or bachelorette by feeding an alligator? Experience Louisiana's unique flora and fauna by taking an exciting airboat trip through the wetlands around New Orleans.
There are a variety of swamp excursions available in the area, including Cajun Encounters Swamp Tours. You and your guests can get to handle a young alligator, an event that will be spoken about for years to come.
6. TAKE PART IN A COOKING CLASS
You can take something useful away from your bachelor or bachelorette celebration than simply trinkets. Getting your hands filthy in a kitchen together while learning to make traditional Cajun and Creole meals like jambalaya, gumbo, and more is a terrific way to bring your krewe closer together.
The New Orleans School of Cooking is the only location providing such lessons. No matter how experienced you are in the kitchen, the final tasting of what you've made will be a highlight of the course for everyone.
7. ENJOY A NIGHT OUT LISTENING TO LOCAL NEW ORLEANS MUSIC
Frenchmen Street is lined with interesting bars where you can hear some of New Orleans' top musicians play and get your groove on. The musical styles represented on this well-known thoroughfare range of different music genres, including blues, jazz, reggae, and rock.
New Orleans is a city where jazz is constantly alive and well, and there are regular jazz shows throughout the city. The French Quarter and Frenchmen Street are great venues
to see live performances. Sometime during your stay, you might also stumble upon a jazz music festival. These are highly recommended if you're looking for a place to hear good music and eat delicious cuisine.
New Orleans is a city where music fills the air, most noticeable in the French Quarter. Since you can't avoid it, it's a good idea to include listening to local musicians in your bachelor or bachelorette party plans.
8. A COCKTAIL WALKING TOUR: SEE THE SITES WHILE YOU TAKE A DRINK
Bar hop and sample regional and national beverages. It’s a great way to sample some of the city's most famous beverages.
9. TRY OUT NEW FOOD
Those unfamiliar with New Orleans may hunt for the top restaurants in the city, but those who have been there before will know to seek out the best venues instead of locating the city's characteristic cuisine. The cuisine of New Orleans is among the city's many claims to fame. You must taste some of the local specialties in New Orleans. Louisiana is the birthplace of the po'boy, a regional specialty that consists of a particular kind of sandwich. Catfish or roast beef served with mayonnaise and other toppings on French bread is a popular variation. The greatest po'boy in New Orleans can be found at Domilise's Po-boys & Bar.
Whichever direction you decide to go in, we cannot wait for you to experience all that New Orleans has to offer.
Enjoy your incredible weekend!
