St. John the Baptist Parish
Guests often want to visit a plantation while they’re in the area, but the reality is that most plantation tours kind of creepily omit the brutality that made the plantation lifestyle possible for the wealthy few. The Whitney Plantation turns this on its head, and has created an entire site dedicated to the history of the transatlantic slave trade and the experiences of enslaved people on Louisiana’s many plantations during the pre-Civil War era. It’s a deeply sobering but beautiful testament to the resilience of a people and their culture.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 

425 Basin Street , New Orleans

Greater New Orleans

What is it? There are dozens of noteworthy cemeteries in NOLA, but easily the most famous is St. Louis No. 1.

Why go? New Orleans inters its dead a little differently than the rest of the country. Due to the city’s high water table, coffins are safeguarded in mausoleums instead of buried, creating eerily beautiful “cities of the dead.” In addition to infamous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, St. Louis No. 1 will also be the final resting place for Nicolas Cage, who has erected a huge pyramid tomb for his interment.

Audubon Park
Look, it’s no big deal for us locals, but odds are that if you're not from around here, if you want to drink outside, you have to do it out of a brown paper bag or a hip flask. Our open container law is a simple New Orleans joy that feels like pure luxury to outsiders, and a boozy picnic at The Fly -- the grassy, mostly undeveloped strip on the river’s edge of Audubon Park -- is the perfect way to enjoy a lazy afternoon of watching the ships roll down the Mississippi. You won't be alone. All of us locals will be doing the exact same thing you are.
