Go on a Picnic
New Orleans parks are the perfect spot for summertime picnics. With so many parks to choose from, there’s plenty of options in the city to explore, including City Park, Audubon Park, The Fly, Crescent Park, and Woldenberg Park. Stop by a restaurant and pick up anything from barbeque to po-boys, and throw the perfect picnic to commemorate the day. Some of our favorite spots for picnic-friendly food include Picnic Provisions and Whiskey, Morrow’s, PeeWee’s Crab Cakes on the Go, Central City BBQ, and Dat Dog.
Visit a Museum or Take a Tour
The National WWII Museum is the perfect spot to celebrate American history. Explore the exhibits, see a show, and learn about the significance of New Orleans in the war. Nearby is the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, which chronicles the history of Jewish Americans across 13 southern states and 300+ years of history. Self-guided tours are available through the Historic New Orleans Collection and the New Orleans Slave Trade Marker and Tour App for those interested in New Orleans history.
