TRAVEL<br />
Sazerac House – This offers great, free tours (but<br />
you must reserve at https://tickets.sazerachouse.<br />
com/p/newhome) detailing the history of cocktails.<br />
You will be able to score some free cocktail samples,<br />
as well.<br />
Waterfront walk – A relaxing stroll along the river<br />
will bring you face-to-face with steamboats, rolling<br />
greenery and the New Orleans Holocaust Memorial.<br />
Cemeteries – NOLA is famous for its aboveground<br />
cemeteries. Unfortunately, some – like St.<br />
Louis Cemetery Number, where notorious Voodoo<br />
priestess Marie Laveau is buried – have been closed<br />
to the public due to vandalism, while others are still<br />
open and worth a visit.<br />
Other stuff to do<br />
Hop-on/hop-off tours are a good idea to see what<br />
you want to explore and get the lay of the land. If<br />
you drove or rented a car, there are sites worth seeing<br />
within easy reach. Houmas House is an antebellum<br />
sugar plantation with tours of the home by costumed<br />
interpreters. The size of the live oaks is amazing;<br />
they’ve had hundreds of years of humanity walk<br />
beneath their boughs. Go for the day, the restaurant<br />
provides delicious food and a gracious atmosphere.<br />
A swamp tour is also a must if you’ve never seen an<br />
alligator jump out of the water to get a marshmallow<br />
on a stick – no, really! Floating under the arms of<br />
mangrove trees, we saw gators and feral pigs, both of<br />
which seem to love marshmallows.<br />
A place for foodies<br />
Being on a delta of the Gulf of Mexico, you know<br />
seafood will be a star, and you can’t miss sampling<br />
the Creole and Cajun cuisines. Some of my favourite<br />
