Super close and convenient. Check for reservation if possible because it's popular. The arancini appetizer is amazing, and their Sat/Sun brunch is also great.

Despite being a super casual hot dog place, Dat Dog is actually quite good, especially if you need some late night food. The Duck Special is great. May or may not be listed on the menu. Just trust me on this. Duck. Special. They also have several local beers on tap.

Drinks & Nightlife

Wine shop with amazing courtyard. This is my happy place! Also have delicious food and live jazz every evening. It's best to try to get there by 6:00-6:30 pm (or earlier) because it will often be packed by later in the evening.

It's a bit of a trek from the Marigny, but this is one of my favorite music venues in the whole city.

Parks & Nature

Close and convenient spot to take a nice walk along the river with some good views of downtown. Good spot for a picnic or just a scenic stroll. Also a good place for runners looking to get a couple miles in. Look for the elevator/stairway over to the park at the N. Peter & Marigny intersection.

Arts & Culture

Dr. Bob is the originator of the New Orleans 'Be Nice or Leave' signs and folk art. His lot/studio/workspace/gallery is a fun place to peruse and maybe take home a piece of NOLA culture.

Essentials

What sounds like a tacky souvenir shop is actually the weirdest grocery store/souvenir shop/pizza place you've likely ever encountered. They have everything from organic produce to feather boas to slices of pizza as big as your head.
