👍👍 The description of this place reads coming soon! Be warned though because they are indeed open! I have been stalking this place for some time now, and thru various social media sites I noticed they were open! My dream is coming true, in this one case. I packed up my gnome and ran over here. Admissio...

👍👍 Excellent gift shop, historical tour, and small distillery. We signed up for the free complimentary tour on their website.

👍👍 We were so lucky to enjoy a private tour with Al and a private performance with two of his fellow performers! Learned so much about Jazz and the history of New Orleans. Would absolutely come back again. It’s people like Al that keeps the soul of the music and the history alive!

Van Gogh New Orleans: The Immersive Experience
Art museum
👍👍 After reading so many mixed reviews, I was hesitant to visit the exhibit. While the canvas replicas were not detailed and just print, that isn't the reason we went, and they were still pretty. Now if there were extreme artists going, I could see where they would be upset at the quality, but we were...

Irish Cultural Museum

👍👍 Non-museum people of the world, I understand how you might feel, when you are visiting New Orleans, and your mate wants to drag you to a learnin' place to get some culture (pronounced "culchuh" here). What if I told you that at the end of a rainbow there was a museum with only...... 2 rooms.......an...

👍👍 If you're coming to New Orleans to see the National WWII museum, you are missing half the story my friend. This museum is incredible for history buffs and "armored enthusiasts" alike. Their collection includes (but not limited to); a FT 17 in great condition, an M5 Stuart, MTLB, m4a3 Sherman, M60 an...

Levee Exhibit Hall and Garden
Museum
👍👍 Having lived in the area for just over 10 years, and coming immediately after Hurricane Katrina to help clean up, I know what it is like to live thru a hurricane, and what it was like immediately after Katrina. This encapsulates the whole experience and gives actual visual things to look at. I'm not...

House of Dance & Feathers
Museum
👍👍 Had a great experience at this little gem of a museum. It was not easy to sort out whether the museum would be open so for anyone struggling, the disconnected number on many websites belonged to Mr. Ronald Lewis, who not only collected materials, photographs, and paper records from decades of second...

Good Work Tattoos
Tattoo shop
👍👍 I've gotten several tattoos throughout my life and I've always made it a point to never get tattooed by the same artist twice. I love experiencing new artists and new styles. I never wanted to be the person that has "a" tattoo artist. Until I got tattooed by Shelby. Shelby is hands down my FAVORITE...

Lower Ninth Ward Living Museum
Museum
👍👍 This is absolutely a must-visit. My husband and I are both teachers (not in Louisiana) and we had never heard the heroic story of these brave ladies. The site is beautiful, but currently under renovations, so they have the schematics and projected sketches for what the facility will look like upon c...
