Plantations or swamp tour. Tours by Isabelle -
A trip to two different plantations: Laura – a creole style plantation and
Oak Alley – a “Gone With the Wind” style plantation. The outlying plantations
and the city were inextricably interconnected in the 18th & early 19th
centuries, and that relationship still informs the city's traditions and
customs.

Explore
Jackson Square.
Saturday is a great day to explore Magazine Street. Magazine Street is 5
plus miles of antique shops, junque shops, cafes and hip boutiques.
Take a cab to the 2000 block and start heading away from the
city, 2100 ,2200, etc.
Back in what is officially called the American Sector, or Warehouse District,
at Julia and Magazine, are loads of art galleries and New Orleans Auction.
Across the street on Saturday mornings is a farmers market with
fresh produce and Louisiana food. Looking down Magazine from New Orleans
Auction, back toward our house is New Orleans School of Glass 727 Magazine. We
are producing some wonderful glass and it's FREE to go back into the
studio/furnace area and watch the glass blowers. This part of town has
the Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp, The National World War
II Museum, 945 Magazine Street, The Ogden Museum of Southern Art,
925 Magazine, and the Civil War Museum at 929 Camp Street.
Also, 4 of Donald Link's restaurants are in this neighborhood, Cochon
930 Tchoupitoulas Street, The Butcher Shop, behind Cochon on Andrew
Higgins, and a favorite restaurant, Herbsaint, 701
Saint Charles Avenue, Plus, Peche, 800 Magazine
Street.
The new "Root" restaurant (not Donald Link) is at 200 Julia; very creative menu.
Great food at the Sun Ray Grill at the Cotton Mill Condos (1051 Annunciation).
The Columns Hotel at 3811 St Charles has a terrific front porch and a great
place to sip a Pimms Cup. Ride the streetcar up to Carrollton, at the
BIG RIGHT HAND TURN, get off and have
lunch at the Camellia Grill, 6265. Carrollton.

Access: Typically open to the public, with specific hours (e.g., Mon–Sat 9 a.m.–3 p.m., Sun until noon).
Closed to the public due to restoration and vandalism concerns.

- Greenwood Cemetery
-
Why it’s photogenic: A serene counterpart to Metairie, it features grid-like layout, austere marble vaults, and striking society monuments like the Elks tomb—a bronze stag sculpture.
Tone: More subdued in tone, its even rows and thoughtful layout create calm, structured compositions.
- St. Roch Cemetery
-
Why it’s photogenic: One of the city’s less-visited cemeteries with a quiet, haunted charm. Known for folklore like the ghostly black dog, it's a hauntingly atmospheric spot.
- Holt Cemetery
-
Why it’s photogenic: Less architectural grandeur, more folk art and cultural storytelling. Simple, handmade memorials with rich narrative potential.
