Arts & Culture

On Thursday nights Ogden After Hours has live music and drinks in the gallery. Their roof top provides an amazing view of the city. The gallery is only five blocks from Cochon, a wonderful restaurant that you'll have to pass if you travel from the Ogden to the French Quarter.

The sculpture garden is located in City Park, which has a million things to offer. It's also next to a lovely local spot called Morning Call where you can get coffee, beignets or light fare.

On Friday nights, this neighborhood bar hosts Crack Burger. Their sliders are delicious and the location (right beside the Canal Street Ferry Terminal) makes it a really convenient spot to start a night off. You could also spend your entire evening on the brand new, brick patio out back. Whatever your plan is, try the "Proper Gin & Tonic." It's mixed with locally made El Guappo Bitter.

This is a true New Orleans bar. Nothing fancy, but amazing people. Like the other neighborhood bar - this spot is really about location. If you're walking along the levee, pop in and grab a beer or mixed drink. The trick to New Orleans is making your trips part of the experience. Whether you're heading back to the apartment from the Ferry or just starting your night, grabbing an iced cold Abita Amber for the walk really makes the journey something special.

Food Scene

Take-out Only, but AMAZING! Grab your food to-go and head to the levee with a picnic blanket. Chef Pete is an artist, but hosts odd hours. Always check his facebook page (The Apetite Repair Shop) or call ahead to make sure he's open.

They no longer have a deli and the store doesn't have much, it's a corner store with some essentials. They don't have alcohol. If they don't have what you're looking for, check River Fine Foods or stop at Rouse's in the French Quarter while you're out and about.
