Every time I’m in New Orleans, I always want to stop at Felipe’s on N Peters St. to chow down on some fish tacos or I like to run by District Donut on Magazine for some donut sliders. Right now they even have a special King Cake donut in honor of Carnival Season. Those are just two places, but don’t worry I have a whole list of all my favorite places to brunch, lunch, snack and dine in New Orleans!

First time in NOLA? Plan out your meals first! Can you tell I’m a foodie? It’s not just me, though—New Orleans is the place to dine! Once you finish your meal itinerary, pencil in a little shopping on Magazine Street and some leisure time to stroll through the St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square and the beautiful streets in the Garden District. I also love walking down Royal Street to admire all of the stunning old architecture, live street music and the brightly colored houses. If you want to try something really fun, schedule a cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll learn! Plus, you get to enjoy wine and a little French Quarter history while you cook. They’ll even show you how to make homemade pralines! One more thing: Do me a favor and don’t leave the French Quarter without stopping for beignets at Café Du Monde or Café Beignet! I promise that they’re worth it!

Shopping: I love shopping at Haus 131, Elle boutique and Sincerely Luxe on Magazine St. as well as the Shops at Canal Place. I always like to stop at Emma’s Shoes and Candy Apple in Metairie on the way to the city as well.
