Courtyard by Marriott New Orleans Westbank/Gretna

The 1850 House offers the chance to experience the lifestyle of our ancestors of more than 150 years ago. It offers a glimpse of middle- and upper-class life in antebellum New Orleans, the most prosperous period in the city’s history. The Cabildo at Jackson Square, is an elegant Spanish colonial building neighboring St. Louis Cathedral and houses with many rare artifacts of America’s history. At the New Orleans Jazz Museum, you'll be able to see the instruments on which New Orleans’ greatest musicians played to create their landmark sounds—Louis Armstrong’s cornet, Fats Domino’s piano, Sidney Bechet’s soprano sax and more are all on display.

Visit a true New Orleans jazz institution at Preservation Hall. Since opening in 1961, the entertainment venue has continually hosted some of the best live jazz music in the city, performed by masters of the craft on a nightly basis. See what the New Orleans jazz scene is all about at this venue.

Take your honey out on a romantic date to lunch, dinner, dessert or drinks at the Herbsaint Bar & Restaurant. The Saint Charles Avenue restaurant serves up the best in Southern cuisine and offers a wine list that's hard to refuse. The laid back scene at Herbsaint is the perfect place to relax with your one-and-only.

Relax and have a picnic at dusk at The Fly a strip of park along the riverside of Audubon Park and watch the sunset over the Mississippi River.
