Just visited for 10 days. An amazing city with such a unique spirit and energy. I had friends decide not to come along because they saw it was the number one murder capitol in America. They missed out on such an amazing trip!
@gotravelwithstaci Жыл бұрын
Lol murder capital? Oh my! Yes agree NOLA can have a bad reputation (like many other cities here in America) but am also 100% with you that the community, culture, and spirit of this city is electric and one of a kind. I’m so happy you loved it too!

The WWII Museum is also huge and excellent. There are a lot of parts of the city that are great to just walk around in and check out murals and unique architecture. Just don't go alone or late at night.

Hi there and welcome! Thank you for mentioning the WWII Museum. I'm adding this to my list for when we visit again. Luckily, we live in East Texas, so NOLA is only a short ride away.

Cafe beignet is better than Cafe Du Monde. I have had both in French and the Cafe Du monde on williams, in kenner, and in city park as well. And have determined between spending lots of time money, resources, research and have determined Cafe Beignet is better.

No trolleys here, only streetcars! And Cafe Beignet is a knock-off - beignets are not supposed to be dense/doughy like theirs

Just spent 4 days there with husband and children (15, 11). The zoo was amazing. French Quarter was nice history wise and the food was great. But, just walking around was ok if you stay with large crowds in the day time. To say we did not feel safe is an understatement ! And I’m from Miami and my husband is from Atlanta. I would not recommend bringing children here. Las Vegas is more family friendly.
@gotravelwithstaci Жыл бұрын
Yes, Las Vegas is surprisingly family-friendly. If I had kids, I'd hang out more outside the French Quarter and maybe more in areas like the Garden District or their gorgeous city park.
@miagilaani5853 Жыл бұрын
Why wouldn’t you recommend bringing kids? I’m planning a trip there so curious about it.

Love your video, but why go to the French Market? Most of the merchandise is made in China. The food is mediocre at best. Hundreds of great restaurants in The Quarter and in the Garden District. And avoid Cafe du Monde...go to Cafe Beignet on Royal Street...the beignets are much better and it has AC during those hot summer months. Try Drego's for grilled oysters. Thank me later.
@gotravelwithstaci Жыл бұрын
Hi Michael! Yes I agree Cafe Beignet is my favorite. I talked about that in my food video. This video touches on the main places tourists hear of and want to see first because word of mouth has made them popular- even if they aren’t the best. I like to cover those tourists spots first, then come back with another video showing more local options we like better. Personally, I think Café du Monde is overrated, but I know tourists have heard of it and they want to go there, so I’ll talk about it… And then tell you to go to Café beignet lol. I caught a lot of flack for the places that I eat in my food video, but what I was trying to tell people is what types of food to eat, not necessarily any one restaurant in particular. Thought I’d tell you that just in case you watch that video next. Thanks so much for watching.
