Wife never been to New Orleans, What and where to take her?

Question

I'm in the Army and will be leaving Iraq arond Nov 29. I want to bring my wife to New Orleans for a good time but don't know where to take her. Somebody please help.

Answer 1

Go to the Aquarium of the Americas and IMAX. Then the Audobon Zoo, Riverwalk, the French Market. Top it off with the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.

Answer 2

The French Quarter is walkable.  If you are in the Army, you will be in plenty of shape to walk it.  So park and walk all around (unless your hotel is inside the Quarter, of course)

MORNING/AFTERNOON:

Café du Monde (everyone does this – beignets are a right of passage for visitors)

French Market (behind Café du Monde)

Jackson Square, Jackson Brewery

The aquarium is nice if you like aquariums.

NIGHT:

Just walk through the French Quarter (stay with the crowds).  Something will entertain you.

If you like history:

National World War II Museum

Too many good restaurants too list.  Just ask the locals and they will point the way to whatever is in your price range.

Those are just a few popular places.
