a little far our from the city, but worth the trip to see the swamp. nice, easy flat trails with plenty of gators in spring and summer. Also good for canoeing. Swamp tours are close by.

The best park ever, enormous oaks, the art museum (NOMA), and lots of kid stuff to do, like goofy golf, amusement park, playground, rental of paddleboats and canoes, and Morning Call for good red beans and rice, and beignets!

Classic New Orleans food and service. Men wear a jacket, but if you don't have one, they have a selection and they'll loan you one! Sunday Brunch is an institution. Can be touristy.
