New Orleans b

More must-do's while in NOLA:

French Quarter
-Arnauds, the famous bar and restaurant, get a light and very famous WWI French 75 cocktail, it is a mixed champagne base drink
At 813 Rue Bienville, go early at night, it opens usually 5:30pm-11:30

-The Pelican Bar, ask them to make the now off menu blackberry rum cocktail, it's a classic
At 312 Exchange Plaza almost at the corner of Bienville St and Chartres St., it's on a hidden open road in the middle of that block on Bienville, open 5:30pm-9:30

-If you love classic, old world perfumes, go to Bourbon French Parfums and get the best one: the cherry blossom, or get it online here in any size.
At 805 Royal St, open 10am-5

-Cecilia's or Satsuma's are very interesting, try walking out from classic, old world American diner Cecilia's to modern, fresh Satsuma for fun exotic mixed [fresh] fruit juices [and for the vintage shops nearby] and get the meaty gumbo at Cecilia's and their pecan waffles, and a chocolate milkshake
At 626 S Carrollton Ave is Cecilia's, ride the St Charles streetcar over, which stops right next to it; Satsuma is at 7901 Maple St, a few streets over from the other cafe

-Go to the opera or ballet, the Louis A. theater is directly north of the French Quarter, so it's easy to get to

-Go to the famous, gorgeous Latin mass at the classic and ornate St Patrick's Church at 9:30am Sunday, set back from the street so be sure to look carefully; their service schedule is here
At 724 Camp St, in the CBD
