Obviously a touristy place., but if you want to go, it's worth getting a chicory coffee or café au lait and an order of beignets. (What tourists don’t know—they don’t enforce a line. Many tourists make a line, expecting to be seated, but it’s first come first serve. Usually the line-standers aren’t great at snagging open tables when they become available. I usually go in a different entrance and just take a seat when someone else gets up.)

The birthplace of Jazz! And every Thursday for most of the year there are FREE concerts right by the house! Just stroll over! In Armstrong Park is Congo Square; known as the birthplace of Jazz. New Orleans is the only place in America that I’ve heard of where during slavery, a) there were black people who were never enslaved, and b) enslaved people had a day off. On their days off, they would go gather, play music and dance in Congo square. It’s said that Jazz music found its roots there, and in the neighborhood that used to stand around it (Storyville) gave a lot of famous New Orleanians their start (Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, etc.)
