![Our New Orleans itinerary (save & share this post) 3,000 miles later and we made it to @visitneworleans, the last stop on our road trip! [AD] Exploring the US by car has been amazing and we hope it’s given you lots of ideas.
Day 1: Explored Congo Square in the neighborhood of Treme, the oldest African-American community in the US. It’s the birthplace of Jazz and on Sunday evenings you can experience live music. We had dinner @tableau_nola, ending the night at @artmazing, an art gallery where you become the art!
Day 2: Lunch at @_hearddat_ followed by a visit to Whitney Plantation, the only plantation in the area that doesn’t romanticize slavery, telling history from the viewpoint of the enslaved. New Orleans is known for cajun/creole meals but if you want something different @lucysretiredsurfersbar has great tacos!
Day 3: We took a baking class at the @eatdrinksofab where we learned to make Beignets, Cafe Au Lait and more. Our teacher @lleenypants was amazing and will customize the menu to whatever you like. We took the street car up St. Charles Street which is so scenic ,dropping us off in front of @superiorseafood, you have to try their famous pomegranate mojito!
Day 4: We started the day at @mardigrasworld learning about what it takes to pull the event off and seeing how the floats are made. We had lunch at @parkwaypoorboys then burned it all off exploring @neworleanscitypark at Story Land and pedaling a swan boat on the lake. We admired the work of Brandan “BMike” Odums at @studio_be_ and ended the day at the @mardigrasmuceum for a very special Sip n Sew class with @voicesofcongosquarenola where we leaned the history of the Mardis Gras Indians from Chief Shaka Zulu himself and sewed our own patch for a Mardis Gras suit. We ended the day at @pechenola, which was so good we ate here 3 times!
Day 5: Swamp tour with @cajunencounters and it was so much fun. We saw tons of alligators, snakes, pigs and piglets. We ended the trip with a date night @vyoone’s which has the cutest outdoor courtyard while the girls had a movie night with my mom at our hotel @higginshotel.
What are you looking forward to doing here? If you’ve been/live here what did we miss?](https://thetravelingchild.co/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
