5. Experience Cajun culture as if you’re at ya mama’s house on the bayou

ACCENT New Orleans curates exclusive experiences that peer into a culture hard to reach from the outside. When it comes to Cajun food and cultural traditions, Mosquito Supper Club is the place to be. Their flagship supper club was created to “celebrate the bounty of shrimpers, oyster fishermen, crabbers and farmers that define our cuisine.” This “restaurant home” features two tables at a time offering a unique culinary experience that honors past traditions in an exclusive setting.

6. Explore the French Quarter and beyond!

The French Quarter is known for its vibrant nightlife, but don’t forget that some of the best experiences of New Orleans’ historic heart take place during the day. Get a glimpse into your future with a tarot card reading in Jackson Square and stroll the lively art galleries of Royal Street.

Try wandering beyond the French Quarter! We love our compact city, and fortunate to say New Orleans is one of America’s most walkable cities. You can visit several unique New Orleans Faubourgs (ancient French term for “suburb”) in one day.

​

7. Learn classic cocktails from a local professional

Close out your visit with an interactive cocktail class taught by an award-winning master bartender.  Learn how to make New Orleans’ most iconic cocktails like the Sazerac, Ramos Gin Fizz, and the original Hurricane.

Life goes on

As we all battle the current reality of life without live events, it’s important to focus on the things we can do safely – travel! We can’t wait to host you in New Orleans. As we say in the Big Easy, mask up and “laissez les bons temps rouler!”
