Man, I'm from here, and this is the best travel vlog of New Orleans that I've seen. Hit up lot of good spots that most people skip in here, and you two seem like you were actually open to letting the city embrace you back, which is key for enjoying your time here. Also, I loved your take on the plantation and tourists. Great work on the vlog. I crushed that like and subscribe button for sure.
From someone who has lived in New Orleans on and off for over 30 years, you did a wonderful job showcasing the city. I really appreciate your comments regarding the plantation tour. It is a huge part of the history of the South that does not get properly acknowledged. Well done all the way around.
Y'all. If you can, set aside time for the WWII museum. It is truly top tier. Make a reservation for weekday lunch at Commander's Palace - they have 25cent martinis. Go to Hansen's and get a snowball. Visit Kern's and take the tour to see how they build the iconic Mardi Gras floats.
@@katielawson4407 We debated on going to the museum, but I think our schedule was already packed that day! And we wanted to do Hansen's too but I think it was just so out of the way from anything else we wanted to do 😭 For sure one of my biggest regrets is not doing Commander's Palace. Maybe next time!
True. I'm not even a big ww2 buff or anything, and I thought it was just amazing. you're not getting out of there in less than 4 hours. It's huge. And don't skip out on the 4d movie. it is really cool.
This is fantastic! I'm going to New Orleans for the first time this spring and I can't wait to experience it! I took many notes of places I'd like to see while watching your video - love it, and thanks for all the hard work on this great vlog!
Bro this was amazing. Thank you for the content and Commanders Palace is a must when u make it back. Also breakfast is easy, Cheesy shrimp and grits with a spicy bacon shrimp loaded Bloody Mary.
Also the reason your hurricane was stronger the first time around was because u sipped it compared to the straw. It's a layered drink with usually a 151 style liquor on top.
I watched your video from start to finish! Going to New Orleans in October for the Eras Tour and I’m putting together an itinerary for me and my husband. Your video was of great help! Thanks for the effort and time you put into this 😊
You missed Frenchman street just outside of the Quarter with its live music clubs and betterand cheaper drinks. Also in Armstong Park is Congo Square where the enslaved were able to congregate on Sundays without their overseers. Also many of the clubs don't even get rocking till after 10 or even 12
Thank you for the huge video. Yes, that was a lot of work! It gives a good impression of what you can do in NOLA, I think (I've never been there, that's why I'm watching this video, haha) I was shocked that the tour guide fed the animals, and with very unhealthy things. I don't think that's okay. Thank you again for the video and best regards from Switzerland.🇨🇭🌅
Great video! One place to consider next trip is The Cabildo. It’s a walk through museum full of New Orleans history right in Jackson Square! I hope you enjoyed my favorite city! I don’t live in Nola but it lives in me! 🎉
Not bad for your first time in NOLA!! It is impossible to explore all that New Orleans offers. I sure hope you'll make repeat visits. Definitely check out Frenchman Street, The Maple Leaf near Uptown (hopefully when Rebirth Brass Band is in town!) and The RocknBowl.. I will soon be making my 6th (or 7th... I lost count ) visit over the course of almost 40 years. The highlight of every single trip has been some incredibly spontaneous and epic experience almost always recommended by a local. While I always think it best to stay in the French Quarter for everyone's first NOLA experience, I highly encourage expanding beyond FQ for repeat stays. BTW... hats off to you and all the different libations you tried! At my age, I couldn't do it now. Gonna stick to my Mint Juleps and possibly a Pimms Cup or 2 :)
We did, actually! The narration said there's nothing special about it and the caption in the video said it's a "Southern joint". We didn't recommend it as a place to go to, but rather to show non-Southerners what's available in the area!
meh, du monde. I think Cafe Beignet is much better. Napoleon House is a great place. the warm muffaletta is great. and depending on when you're there, the service can vary between mediocre to downright amazing. Legends Park is fantastic! The hand Grenade. Now you're talking! Ah, the Shark Attack, heck yeah!
@@TheDragonHealer Whatever parade you pick, get there early! They get crowded quickly, especially if you want to be on a balcony bar. And don't be afraid to reach out for beads during the parade itself! Hope it goes well!
@@katielawson4407 we in New Orleans say ‘from here ‘ which I am . Did not move here post Katrina lol . As someone from here , the pronunciation of the name new orleans is however you want to say it . We just want you to enjoy yourselves.
Next time ur in NO go to Whitney Plantation it's dedicated to all the African Americans who kept the Plantation running. Its all about the slaves there it was wonderful
I liked your video but you blew it on the places to eat. I can tell you didn’t do your research beforehand. I don’t think you are a foodie or you would have sought out better places. That is a total waste because NOLA is a foodie city. Done right, you wouldn’t have been saying things like “ it was just alright”. On a positive note you did pretty good with the drinks. Go back to Nola and do it right this time!!!
Thank you for your input! We did do a fair bit of research, but we focused more on the "tourist-y" side of foods, as those are the bigger names in the space; but I do agree it's a shame we didn't focus more on the local hotspots. I appreciate your comment, though! Have a wonderful rest of your day ☺️
Your videos are really awesome and very good quality very nice I really enjoy watching your videos. But there is a little problem with your video, you should do SEO, if you do SEO, your video views and engagement will increase, likes, comments, and subscriptions will increase gradually. If you have less idea about this, you can tell me and I will help you.
10/10. Perfectly showing Nola. Also big time props making the whole week vlog in 1 video. I personally love longer videos.
@@Javimaru Thank you for the kind words! I debated making a different video per day but I figured one video was the way to go :)

The WW2 museum is a full day. It's taken me 2 trips to see everything there.

Wonderfully done. I'm a New Orleans native, and you've made me fall in love with the City all over again. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words!
This video is amazing, and the work put into it is evident. Hands down the most informative, engaging and inspiring tour trip of New Orleans!
Thank you!
Day 3 Emily was def hungover. Loved that you went out by yourself and did karaoke😂
@@jenngro436 Gotta keep the vacation going! 😂
This was one of the best videos I’ve seen on traveling to New Orleans. So well edited. Thanks. Subscribed!
@@DesperatelySeekingSolitude24 Thank you for your kind words! Hope you enjoy your NoLa travels :)
Ferry across the Mississippi to Algiers Point. Cheap, historic.
Great video but I did not see any jambalaya or gumbo in it 😮
I got seafood gumbo at the Napoleon House towards the beginning of the video! As for jambalaya, you're right! Perhaps next time.
This video was great, keep going!! 💯

I always thought Monkey Hill in the zoo was the highest point of elevation in the city. Oh no. I'm a liar and a loudmouth. Great video, guys.
Awesome vlog! Would definitely like to experience the extra spooky stuff if I were to visit NoLa!

BANANAS FOSTER!:) I had no idea they originated in New Orleans :)
@@dionahaupt So much originated in this city!
One of the best New Orleans videos 👍
@@DianaBertram-v6k Thank you!
the ww2 museum is amazing-check it out
@@Motherloadrocks It's on the list!
Well done, but you missed Frenchmen Street and the restaurants and music venues there, especially the Spotted Cat.
@@davidrichards3921 We'll add it to the list for next time!
One thing you probably don't know about the quarter no cover charge more expensive the drinks cover charge cheaper the drinks
@@juanvasquez9529 Interesting! Thanks for the tip!
Good Job.
Thank you!
meh, du monde. I think Cafe Beignet is much better. Napoleon House is a great place. the warm muffaletta is great. and depending on when you're there, the service can vary between mediocre to downright amazing. Legends Park is fantastic! The hand Grenade. Now you're talking! Ah, the Shark Attack, heck yeah!
My husband and I want to go for mardi gras. Any tips? I definitely want to go to a parade and get beads.
@@TheDragonHealer Whatever parade you pick, get there early! They get crowded quickly, especially if you want to be on a balcony bar. And don't be afraid to reach out for beads during the parade itself! Hope it goes well!
I would add brunch at the house of blues if it’s still around
@@mikaturchetto1649 Thanks for the tip!
Is it New Or-LEENS, New ORR-lins, or...N'Awlins? I even heard someone say New OR-lee-ins, which just sounds...wrong.
New orr-lenz
@@katielawson4407no . Not how it’s pronounced

Nice overall except for you soapbox exchange for me it wasn’t necessary. Sorry just my thoughts..

Great video on New Orleans. Are you gay? Just curious 😅
But did you pack the appropriate attire for Commander's Palace?
We did, indeed! Blazer, slacks, and dress shoes and everything. Too bad we weren't able to make use of them.
