New Orleans Travel Guide
Good Morning readers! With the recent start of Saints’ football season and cooler air around the corner, I can’t help but get excited about visiting the Big Easy! I live about an hour out of the city so visiting New Orleans always feels like a mini staycation and I always have to stop at least one to five of my favorite places. If you’ve never been to New Orleans before, do yourself a favor and book a trip right now. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything else. I’ll tell you all of the top places to wine, dine, shop and stay in New Orleans starting the most important thing on the list…FOOD!
Where to dine:
My Favorite NOLA Brunch Spots:
Court of Two Sisters
Antoine’s: Order the shrimp and grits and of course, their famous Oysters, Rock-a-feller and Baked Alaska! Don’t forget to ask for a tour at the end of brunch! The history behind that place is mind blowing!
Elizabeth’s
Commander’s Palace
My Favorite Snack Spots In NOLA:
Aunt Sally’s Pralines
Café Beignet: My favorite hidden gem on Royal St.
Café Du Monde: Be prepared to wait in line while enjoying music from talented street performers and jazz bands!
District Donut
Sucre
King Cake at Manny Randazzo in Metairie
Snowballs in the summer
My Favorite Lunch Spots in NOLA:
Magasin
Mother’s
Port of Call
Neighborhood Restaurant, Katie’s
Camellia Grill
Cochon Butcher

Juan’s Flying Burrito
Domenica Pizza
My Favorite Dinner Spots In NOLA:
Sylvain
Dickie Brennan’s
Jacques Imo’s
Galatoire’s
Café Adelaide
Peche
Latitude 29
Baru Bistro & Tapas: You must order the Mazorca, Guacabello and Atun Tartare
Borgne
Shaya: their endless homemade pita bread and duck hummus is to die for!
Where to shop:
Haus 131
Elle boutique
Cella’s Boutique
Shops at Canal Place
Emma’s Shoes and Candy Apple in Metairie on the way to the city as well
Where to wine:
The Carousel Bar
Burgundy Bar
Pat O’s Piano Bar: great courtyard for drinking and visiting with a large group of friends
Cure on Feret
Cane & Table

Where to stay:
Monteleone Hotel

New York Fashion Week Packing
Let me just put it this way, packing for New York Fashion Week is no piece of cake! Like at all!! In fact, I just started packing this morning and I fly out today. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve totally been making a mental list of everything I want to bring these past few days, but it still looks like a disaster in my room right now!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Make sure to follow along with my #NYFW adventures on Instagram & Snapchat: @HauteOffTheRack #hauteNYFW
P.S. In case you missed my Instagram post this morning, I will not be looking this glam arriving to New York at 1 am tonight!! The pumps, little black dress and sleeveless dress outfit is how I always imagined I would look traveling to New York, but it’s not even close! How about you add two more overstuffed pieces of luggage, ankle boots (or sneakers) and a wrinkled shirt that I pulled from the bottom of my bag once I realized that I had nothing to wear to the airport!
