> National WW2 Museum for those into the whole history bit. NOLA was where they made the Higgins boats and the D-Day museum grew into a whole-war museum.

Good Call, JRDelirious. I completely forgot about the WW2 museum, or I would have mentioned it. It’s nothing short of FANTASTIC! It also fits in nicely as it’s a day activity in contrast to the night/evening activities I listed above. Good advice about the fru fru plastic container drinks. I’m not a syrupy drink kind of guy, and more than once I’ve been the last man standing in group of friends all holding empty Pat OBrien cups.

If you don’t see anything above that appeals to you yet, my secondary list of things to consider are: 1) The Zoo, and 2) Lunch at The Camellia Grill (also on the St. Charles Line)

If you enjoy live music, the Preservation Hall concerts are very special.
