French Truck Coffee
While you can find their coffee in several of the restaurants around town, it’s just so much fun to visit the actual shop to grab an espresso and a pastry.
District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew.
Ready for some really eclectic donuts: think Sriracha-flavored, bacon and banana filled or s’mores, just to name a few. They change daily, so you never know what you might find there! If you’re more of a savory snack kind of person, the also have a selection of sliders to choose from.

Union Ramen
A fusion of Japanese and New Orleans styles of this popular comfort food. You in?
Coliseum Square Park
Take a break from shopping, pick up a drink and a treat, and head over to the park to unwind under a shady tree or bench.


The Lower Garden District is famous for its parks, restaurants, and history!

The area was originally developed between 1832 and 1900 and is considered one of the best-preserved collections of historic mansions in the Southern United States. The 19th-century origins of the Garden District illustrate wealthy newcomers building opulent structures based upon the prosperity of New Orleans in that era.

This whole area was once a number of plantations, including the Livaudais Plantation. It was sold off in parcels to mainly wealthy Americans who did not want to live in the French Quarter with the Creoles. It became a part of the city of Lafayette in 1833, and was annexed by New Orleans in 1852. The district was laid out by New Orleans architect, planner, and surveyor Barthelemy Lafon.

Originally the area was developed with only a couple of houses per block, each surrounded by a large garden, giving the district its name. In the late 19th century, some of these large lots were subdivided, as uptown New Orleans became more urban. This has produced a pattern for much of the neighborhood: of any given block having a couple of early 19th-century mansions surrounded by "gingerbread"-decorated late Victorian period houses. Thus, the "Garden District" is now known for its architecture more than for its gardens per se.

Getting Around:
With a walkability score of 93, there’s no need to rent a car for your stay. The streetcar line passes one block from the house to take you you through The Garden District, Uptown, and the French Quarter. Connecting to other streetcar lines, you can also access City Park and the Marigny.

For everything else you can easily walk or take a short Lyft.
