Audubon zoo, they all axed for you.
The weekday menu at Commander's has 2 course lunch specials that run $18-22. Martinis, Cosmos, and two other drinks are 25 cents each. There are some wine options for $6 a glass. We eat there most Thursdays when we are at our New Orleans home. Our condo is on St. Charles only a mile away from Commander's. I've been known to walk there when I went without my DH (he doesn't drink) so I could have my martinis.On weekdays many of the top restaurants have incredible lunch deals. Check Commanders Palace and Restaurant August as a couple of examples
My husband and I were just there at the end of October. We stayed at the Renaissance New Orleans Arts Warehouse District hotel. It was the perfect location. He was there for a conference so during the day I could explore. I felt very safe walking in this area. It's a short walk to the waterfront (shopping and riverboats), the WWII museum, French Quarter, the street car stops. We did not have a car (took an uber from the airport). We relied on walking and the trolly to get us places. Our absolute favorite was riding the street cars. They sell a pass for just a few dollars and you can jump on and of. The Saint Charles Line was our absolute favorite and we took a second trip on it. You can ride it to the end and then jump back on to come back to town. We also loved Mother's Restaurant! They have the best ham! We ate there several times on our trip. I keep talking about how we need to get back to ride the street cars and eat at Mothers! Since we were there a few days before Halloween, many of the houses on the green line were all spooked up! One of the cemeteries was just a short walk from one of the stops as well!
How as the weather and crowds at this time? We may go next year around Halloween time. I wasn't sure but i thought that was Hurricane
season ?
