The D-Day Museum was recently ranked #2 behind the Smithsonian in the US, a great time. We have a great zoo and aquarium. The Casino is across the street from your hotel. The quarter is a blast as is the Frenchman Street area.
We have festivals out the yazoo this time of year as well, so much to do.....

The Fairgrounds Horse Racetrack will be open. We have a great Museum of Art...
Food - one of the best cities in the world.....My favorite, GW Fins in the quarter, can't beat it (if you like fresh fish). Commander's Palace (James Beard Award Winner), Antoine's, Dickie Brennan's Steak House, The Bourbon House, Gautreau's, Broussard's,,,I could go on and on and on....
You could always just walk in the quarter, find some live music and catch something to eat, it will be good wherever you go...
Enjoy, hope you have fun.
