Don’t forget the WWII museum. It’s world class.
The tourist areas of New Orleans don’t feel like a big city. While NoLa is large, there is generally not a need to go to the big city areas.
Do NOT stick your head or arms out of the streetcar windows. Trees and signposts are very close to the side of the car and will take your head off! New Orleans also has a world-class zoo in Audubon Park.
Maybe it's kust that I'm local to south Louisiana, but the zoo is one of my favorite things to do in the city. Not sure how it compares to other ones.
Also, it's not far from Creole Creamery. I always go there after for ice cream.
That’s exactly what I thought when the guy was doing it in the video!! 😮
You should watch an episode of pitbulls and parolees. This show takes place in a dog rescue shelter/ center in Louisiana not too far away from New Orleans. Pitbull and parolees also has a shop that sells many items. The proceeds from the store goes to the shelter.
I have lived in and around New Orleans my entire life.
Along with the Audubon Aquarium there is also a Audubon Zoo and the National WW 2 museum. Each one will take the better part of a day to see.
The food is incredible everywhere but a little pricey in the French quarter.
I like adding Chicory to my coffee, it really mellows it out.
If you’re feeling anxious about NOLA, my best advice would be to first take a walk around the French Quarter in peace early in the morning. The city really livens up at late afternoon and at night with huge crowds. They shut down the streets to foot traffic on the weekends as well to squeeze in more people because the streets are REALLY narrow, but most people are hungover by the morning so for an early stroll, you’ll have free reign of the city. Majority of NOLA’s people are really friendly though, and most people really just want to have a good time. I’ve never been where I didn’t leave happy and full!
But don’t do it on a hot Sunday morning. Bourbon Street smells horrible then. You can use your imagination.
@@mayortr42 ha! True.
Use the French Pronounciation of New Orleans
Jazz and authentic Cajun Zydeco music is something great to listen to.
Jono, this would have been a great video with your family. 1) pralines are easy to make if y'all have pecan in Slovakia. We have a brand called Community coffee that has chicory. We have Cafe Au Lait which is half chicory coffee and half steamed milk. New Orleans food is just as good as Texas BBQ, but more variety. We have fresh seafood write out of the Gulf of Mexico. 2) the French Market is a tourist trap. I can email you a list of family fun things without getting ripped off, but it's nice to browse around and look. 3) when walking through the French Quarter, stay on the the main street where large group of people are. Stay away from side streets. 4) The last time i rode the streetcar, it was $1.25 per person one way. Best thing to do is park around Carrollton ave. by where the streetcars starts and go down St Charles all the way to the French Quarter. Spend the day in the French Quarter and ride the streetcar back to where y'all parked. 5) Garden District has Audubon zoo and a lot of shops and restaurants. Magazine and Ferry St. has a lot of shopping and eateries for Kat and Lea. 6) Steamboat Natchez is a must and take the ferry across the Mississippi river and back. 7) if you're going to visit a plantation, look up Myrtle's plantation. It's an hour above Baton Rouge our state capitol in St. Francisville, LA. 8) Swamp tours outside of New Orleans are the best. Gas station food in Cajun country is better than most restaurants. Starts in Houms and goes west. 9) Ghost tours on horse and buggy are popular in New Orleans. If y'all want to see haunted stuff, go back to #7 and Myrtle's. A lot of voodoo shops in New Orleans. 10) A lot of jazz music in Jackson Square and on Bourbon St., the Audubon aquarium is pretty cool, but don't miss the National WWII museum. The D-Day museum is worth seeing.
I freaking love Texas Barbecue, but Southern Louisiana has so freaking much see, eat, and offer. I lived in New Orleans over forty years of my life and I can't think of any other places to live. The other fifteen years of my life is just visiting and New Orleans is my home.
I got a couple of tears rolling down my eyes watching this video.
I went to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2000 (pre-Katrina).
One of the high points of my life's travels.
Mardi Gras is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday every year. So, it's date changes every year. Plan trips accordingly.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is coming up on February 27 and runs through March 17. There are 11 trailrides starting this weekend some go for 100s of miles and end up in Houston.
I remember as a kid living outside of Houston in a very rural area. One of the trail rides would go down my road. It literally went ALL DAY LONG and into the night!!! There were that many participants in just that one trailride. Horses, wagons, trucks pulling trailers with loads of hay and kids.
Houston also has over a million people
New Orleans is definitely worth a visit!!!
The food is fantastic!! You can also visit some of the old Plantation homes,they're beautiful.
I just had military friends PCS from WI to Louisiana. 😅 So this video is a perfect extra reminder that I haven't gotten to see them in so long!
WWL Louisiana Mardi Gras Parade Coverage (2024 coverage by a local TV station). Long but interspersed with lots of interviews and history. Louisiana is nicknamed “Sportsman’s Paradise” because of the yearlong opportunities for hunting and fishing. Just be sure to check with the local Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Department to see what type of hunting/fishing licensing you will need. New Orleans is home to The National WWII Museum. To me, it is a MUST SEE. Check out some videos on UA-cam. Hope you make it to Louisiana.
New Orleans is a great destination. Only been there three times and every visit was awesome. Outstanding food, history, people, music. The Audubon Zoo and the Aquarium are worth a visit as is wandering around the Garden District. I had a friend who lived there and it was an easy ride on the streetcar to get to the French Quarter. Cafe du Monde for a beignet and the Central Grocery on Decatur Street for a muffuletta. Then a day trip to Oak Alley Plantation. So much to do. The cemetery tours are really interesting. Was there for Mardi Gras many years ago. It was packed full of people but the parades and the atmosphere was incredible. Pack your bags but be prepared for the heat and humidity.
Don’t know if you noticed that restaurant in the Garden District they showed called Commander’s Palace but definitely eat there if you go. Also go to the WW II museum. I’m surprised they didn’t mention that.
I think June through August is the best time to visit New Orleans for smaller crowds and fewer tourists. Keep in mind it's also the hottest temperatures at that time.
We say "noo OR-linz" :)
I'm from Louisiana and that's exactly how we pronounce it ❤
Not Nawlinz lol
J u can also take the boat in Shreveport, gamble drink all on ocean
@@tammyjones8102 ocean?
🤔 or “ naugh Lynn’s “ fast roll off the tongue 😝
Grand Isle is good for fishing, or really anywhere around that coastal area.
Hopefully isntesd of going to a restaurant, one of your viewers invite you yo a crawfish boil. I would, but I don't have the equipment lol. I always go to other people's boils.
Apart from Grand Isle, there are so many good fishng and hunting spots. Louisiana is nicknamed the sportsman's paradise, so your wife and daughter can go shopping at
Canal Street. Maybe do some other stuff downtown or drive to the mall or Perkins Rowe in Baton Rouge while you and your son go to some of the fishing spots. Grand Isle is a further drive, but there's also Manchac Madisonville, and a few other places for fishing.
Just a suggestion.
With the items, foods & things that you enjoy...New Orleans is a must go location. Research it a bit & you might see that it is not as big of a city as you may believe. Enjoy!
Those old boats were known as paddle boats.
went to NOLA as a teen and loved it.. took my kids there and hated it. Ahh...time
Since you love fishing you should watch the Outdoor Boys fishing videos. Luke is an avid fisherman and is a worldwide traveler.
Preservation Hall for the jazz, but no air conditioning, so don't go in the warmer months.
It depends on where you are from as to how New Orleans is pronounced. It could be New Orleans. Or, Naw-Lins. Or New Or- leans. And all of them would be accepted and correct. We love our Louisiana neighbors down here in Texas. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. ❤❤❤❤🇨🇱🤠👍
'New Awlins'. Of course, being from Texas I probably said it wrong too. Said quickly like one word 'NuAwlins' of 'Nalins'.
Unless you happen to be Louis Armstrong it's pronounced
New Oar Linz.
I lived there for 3 years during my Pharmacy Residency in the 90s, and the locals had me pronouncing it correctly pretty quick.
Also absolutely none of the street names are pronounced like you think they should be.
Just try your best if you have to adk directions and they'll know what you're asking.
Unless you actually live there, it is absolutly 100% impossible to know if you are in a safe area especially at night so you'll need to ask about that as well.
DO NOT take the bus.
DO take the streetcar!!
The French Quarter cutoff time when it's appropriate to be under 18 is 7 PM.
Seriously, the freaks come out at 7:01.
Yes, you will smell pee and weed.
Wear closed toed shoes and make sure not to step in the 'street gravy' on Bourbon Street.
Bet I can guess where you got dem shoes is a street hustle.
Just say something to them in another language or something.
You don't want to engage them.
But just so you know, the correct answer is 'They're on my feet in New Orleans.
Oh also,
NEVER play dominos with vampires at 4 in the morning!!
New Orleans's Madi Gras last about 2 weeks not just 1 day it's a lot different than it was before Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29th 2005 because a couple hundred thousand people left the city and have not returned after the hurricane so now it's just a shadow of what it once was in the past RIP to all the people who lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina 1390 souls
You've talked about your new pit/smoker for the past two or three videos..... We want to see it.
Tuesday the 13th was only the last day of Mardi Gras.
It's actually Nawlins. One of America's great cities. When you get there try the beignets. A fried donut morsel covered in powdered sugar. It will make you realize why God gave you a sense of taste.
I was born and raised across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. We used to go to New Orleans several times a year - to the zoo, aquarium, French Quarter, shopping, riding the riverboat, and mostly eating. We loved to go to Pontchartrain Beach - an old amusement park that has been closed for a very long time now. I live in Mississippi now and the only time we ever go to New Orleans is to use the airport. Haven’t been in the actual city in years. You can most definitely have a great time outside of the city, too. The swamp and plantation tours are absolute must dos. You can find amazing food just about anywhere in the south, but the “hot spot” is definitely Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. We are currently planning a day trip to the WWII museum and I think we have a list of about 20 foods we want to get while there 😆 It might turn into a full weekend just so we can fit in all the food. 😊
What city? Slidell here
@@bryanparker2925 I grew up near Hammond. We live close to Natchez, MS now.
Many people that live there say NAWlins. That's probably more of a Cajun way of saying it. But most visitors say New Orlins. (not Orleeens).
Check out the television show “Treme” for some flavor. New Orleans feels much different as a city than London. The Garden District is gorgeous and you can keep your distance.
I never been to London, but I'd still have to say we are nothing like London
It’s N’awlins and it is unnerving to be eating and in the French quarter and see you are below sea level as massive ships pass by
I was Born and Raised in the South and I Love New Orleans. I spend alot of time there. But some areas you need to be careful of. ❤❤❤😉
I'm enjoying this video as I eat some leftover Popeyes and king cake for lunch. Yes, Mardi Gras day was yesterday. We locals pronounce it 'New Or-lens'. Some must-sees here in NOLA that she left off: The National WWII Museum (one of the best museums in the world), The Audubon Zoo (and park), City Park (it's bigger than Central Park in NYC), and checking out places like Magazine St.
I'm from new Orleans, I live near the French quarter
Nawlins! 😆
Great video but remember New Orleans was all but destroyed in 2005 when it was hit by hurricane Katrina. Many people thought it would never come back but it has.
Jono, im with you!!! I wouldn't enjoy a wild crowd of people. That doesn't sound fun to me. I went to NYC on New years, and I was terrified. I font like pushing crowds of loud people!!!
People who live there pronounce it " NAW LINS "
It's New Or-lens. Not New Or-leeens.
Chicory coffee sucks. They used chicory because they were running out of coffee. Trust - skip it.
These are mostly generic recommendations, but she was spot on to include Whitney Plantation.
I'm a ghost tour guide here, but many of us are more historians. You're not really ghost hunting - you're learning history.
This is a SMALL city. Yeah, you would not want to come during Mardi Gras or Halloween. Nov-Dec the weather here is very mild, and the city isn't busy at all. That's the perfect time for you. It's a magical place (and yes, the seafood capital!).
Check out some episodes of COPS when they go to New Orleans and Mardi Gras
Aka NOLA or "N'Orlins"
Its pronounced more like "nawlins" or "norleans" where im at
I need some gumbo. Crayfish are finally in season!
You should make the kids star in some how to deep clean videos.😂 Try Nor lins for pronunciation.
Ok yes New Orleeens is wrong, best seafood restaurant is Deenies , try the large seafood platter.
My grandmother grew up on Whitney plantation. Houmas house is one of the most beautiful
And New Orleans is not as big , if you freak out over crowds I suggest before you visit cities to look up their populations .
Chicory coffee is an acquired taste.
It's kinda hard to describe the taste,it somewhat bitter and remotely taste like real coffee.
Chickory became popular as an economic extender for coffee.
Love your channel, you seem like a good dude. Please do away with all the pre-taken open mouth thumbnail photos. Not everything requires mouth agape reaction.
If some black dude approaches you and he wants to bet you $5 bucks as to where you got your shoes dont do it.
If you take the bet he's gonna say on your feet.
It’s always disheartening as an African american watching all these people from different countries visibly care less about learning our history. Our history is literally the backbone of american history. As much as it makes people uncomfortable we’ve been here since day one and play a huge role in the culture of each state but especially the south. To ignore it, would be willful ignorance.
Hide the pause button…….
New Orleans doesn’t come across as a big city. Certainly not like a Chicago or New York. I’ve been to Chicago and New York and would choose New Orleans over the other two all day long. Could be because I’m a Southern boy and Southern cities big or small are just more welcoming.
New Orleans is correct but New Or-lins is local. Like Edinburough is correct, I guess, but Edin-bruh is local. Make sense?
It's called fat "Tuesday" soooo.....
Wow!!! IF you have a issue with Crowds; the US in the Tourist Places is not where you want to be... That includes most Good places to EAT in New Orleans and Texas... Most of these places with have Thousands of People around you...
Sorry...
Norlens,norlens, ya don't provenance new_orleans !!jus a heads up our s.afican friend!
Mardi Gras originated in Mobile, Alabama in 1703 ( 15 years before new orleans )
It's a beautiful city full of some of the wonderful history and truly awesome people.
However...it's also can be quite dangerous, and that should always be mentioned.
The best thing you can do in New Orleans is turn around and go literally anywhere else.
Voodoo is a religion so it is practiced there. But most who live there are Catholic. My mother and her family are from New Orleans.
Na aulins
Congrats New Orleans! Highest murder rate in the nation....
