Best dive: Old Point Bar
By Margaritaville
Sitting right along the west bank of the Mississippi is the Old Point Bar, a legendary low key, old times, no frills bar. Located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city (15th Ward) or as itâs most commonly referred to: Algiers. Good beer, great music, and an old country atmosphere.

Best hidden gem: M.S. Rau Antiques
By Margaritaville
Itâs not a matter of if but when the downpour strikes. Dive into M.S. Rau Antiques, where a mini-adventure awaits. Once inside, politely ask to see the âsecret room.â You may find a rare Monet or Norman Rockwell painting, along with statues and unique furniture fit for a king.

Act like a local: The Black Penny
By Margaritaville
Sometimes you just have to give in and accept it: youâre a tourist in New Orleans and you want to do touristy things. Well, a trip to the Crescent City isnât complete without at least a sip of its official drink: the Sazerac. Chat up the locals hanging out here and enjoy a fantastic drink without breaking the bank.

Swamp tour fuel: The Ruby Slipper Cafe
By Margaritaville
You’re gonna need a good breakfast to prepare you for the air boat madness to come on your swamp tour. This place has it all. Bananas foster, eggs cochon, fried chicken benedict… yeah. And don’t forget to take order an extra bloody mary for the road. We all need a little liquid courage when presented with a swamp gator.
