New Orleans has made a name for itself as being the party capital of the south. With so much to do in addition to the live music, it is hard to narrow it down to a top 10 things to do for a bachelorette – but I have tried!

Cafe Du Monde<\/a> is the most famous cafe or restaurant in New Orleans. This is a well-established brand that attracts people from all over the country to come and try their beignets and have a cup of Caf\u00e9 au lait. No trip to the city is complete without a visit to Cafe Du Monde.<\/p>\n

2) Have A Hurricane (Drink) While Walking Down Bourbon Street<\/h3>\n

A hurricane drink<\/a> is a traditional cocktail found on the streets of New Orleans. The cocktail consists of rum, orange juice, passionfruit juice and grenadine. The cocktail was made created by Pat O’Brien’s during World War II. This is a must-try while visiting Nola. Another must-try cocktail is the Hand Grenade.<\/p>\n

3) Watch A Saints Football Game (Fall) Or A Basketball Game (Fall And Spring)<\/h3>\n

If you happen to be on a bachelorette party in New Orleans in the fall, make sure you try and catch a Saints home football game or a Pelicans basketball game. The city fills with people on game day and everyone is up for a full day of tailgating and partying.<\/p>\n

4) Walk Around Jackson Square And See The Street Performers And Artists<\/h3>\n

Jackson Square is the main square in the city, with the St. Louis Cathedral and a park. The square is filled with street performers, people selling paints and handcrafts. It’s a great place to walk around and explore.<\/p>\n

5) Take A Walking Tour Of The Garden District<\/h3>\n

The Garden District offers a unique insight into the quieter side of the city, with historic mansions, gardens, impressive cemeteries and preserved mansions.<\/p>\n

6) Watch One Of The City’s Parades<\/h3>\n

New Orleans has a parade for every occasion. Mardi Gras is the biggest event of the year for the city in February\/March, with parades every day for multiple weeks on end. But the city has other parades throughout the year, including St Patrick’s Day, Easter, Pride, Halloween and the French Quarter Festival.<\/p>\n

7) Go Bar Hopping On Bourbon Street<\/h3>\n

For a night on the town, head to Bourbon Street. This street is lined with bars and nightclubs, offering incredible cocktails and drink offers. Many of these bars and clubs have live bands every night and, of course, your favorite daiquiris.<\/p>\n

8) Have Brunch On Magazine Street<\/h3>\n

Magazine Street offers a quieter alternative to the French Quarter but still has many dining options. It is also one of the best places for brunch in the city. Its location outside the main area means it’s often quieter than some of the downtown brunch options. The street also has quaint coffee shops and stores to explore.<\/p>\n

9) Spend The Morning Relaxing At A Spa<\/h3>\n

No bachelorette party weekend would be complete without a visit to a spa and what better way to dust off the hangover than enjoying a morning at a spa with your girl gang.<\/p>\n

There are many options when it comes to spa choices. Some of the top hotels have spas that allow non-guests to purchase a morning or day pass, including the Spa at the Ritz-Carlton<\/a>, The Waldorf Astoria Spa<\/a>, and Windsor Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10) Head To The French Market<\/h3>\n

The French Market is a long indoor-outdoor market with lots of individual stores selling various products from handmade souvenirs, food, drinks and other unique items. This is one of the best places in the city to purchase gifts or souvenirs to take home.<\/p>\n
