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...

Rook Cafe
Coffee shop
👍 What a cool spot. Quirky, artsy and cozy. Feels like a gamer Sci fi living room. Unique Java speciality drinks with equally unique bites. I appreciated the chalked up bathroom, local art on walls and games in book shelves. Had a delicious bite and crafted drink.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Church & International Shrine of St. Jude

👍👍 Jazz mass.... Spiritually uplifting, soul stirring melodically angelic moving mass that had me feeling some type of way. I swear I actually shed tears I was so touched by the service and the sermon on the day that I attended. I am Catholic and this service just hit me in a different way that I have...

👍👍 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...

St. Peter Claver Catholic Church
Catholic church
👍👍 The St. Peter Claver church is part of a complex that covers almost a city block. Saint Peter Claver is the patron saint of slaves. The church, church offices and playground remain but I believe the school may be closed at this time. A beautiful Roman Catholic church in the Treme neighborhood.
