Such a fun episode. I had meant to mention a couple of things…
When traveling to any city, pick an establishment beforehand close to your lodging to go have an appetizer and beverage of choice upon your arrival. Get settled into your room, freshen up a bit and head out to enjoy a little decompression time after your flight (or drive) in and just breathe. It’s a nice way to get your bearings, shake off any travel tension and get a trip started off on the right foot.
The Cabildo has incredible artwork throughout and a vast array of historical exhibitry that isn’t limited to New Orleans, but Louisiana as a whole including Civil and Revolutionary War history and as importantly, slavery.
The Old US Mint exhibitry might seem dull but it’s actually really interesting. There’s a lot of women’s history and automation tucked in there.
Bring a couple of phone battery chargers along during your outings; I like the kind that are pocket-sized, flat and can fit in a wallet and have a built-in cord for ease of charging. I use my camera function constantly as well as the rideshare, TripAdvisor (to organize my activities and ‘must-sees’) and NORTA apps to check streetcar schedules and to use my Jazzy Pass (which you can pay for right from the app).
I would like to get a list, if possible, of the places that you all mentioned to hear live music. Thanks!
Thanks! I will put together a list and post it when I can. Will also send it to you by email. – Mark
