interesting things for everyone. tons of

history, sites to see, things to do,

culture, art, jazz, nature, hot sauce,

balconies, haunted places, epic food and

of course Bourbon Street. if I were to

ever have a bachelor party that would

definitely be the place I would have it.

but I guess I would need to find a wife

first. (sighs)

it's mid-may we just got back from a

four night stay there I went there for

my friend's birthday it was epic. here's

the list of things we did in some travel

tips. I flew there using Southwest

Airlines. we took an Uber from the

airport to our Airbnb it was about a 25

minute drive and we were staying on the

north end of Frenchmen Street. by the way

I just found out a few minutes ago that

many locals don't like what Airbnb is

doing to their neighborhood, something to

keep in mind. we were there with a group

of eight so we booked a four bedroom

Airbnb. I found it a little weird that

you actually need a key to get out of

the house. if you flush your keys down the

toilet you're basically stuck inside. I

mean that's something that everyone does

right? once in a while? oh yeah, all the time. flushing

your keys down the toilet it's a common

this whole strip of Frenchmen Street is

full of bars and each one has some great

live music so just walk down the strip

and you'll find somewhere that you'll

want to go into. we explored French

Quarter and it was all very walkable

with plenty of interesting things to see

on every block. after lunch we headed to

Louie Armstrong Park and there was a

jazz and the park festival going on that

day. there's different things going on

all the time so check the calendar to

see what's happening on your dates. it is

super festive I can't think of any other

city with this kind of energy. for dinner

we went to the Cellar Door which

actually used to be a brothel back in

the day but now it is a place to enjoy

good food and drinks. then we met up with

a local who took us to a favorite bar. I

was told that the locals don't actually

go to Bourbon Street so go check out the

outskirts if you're going for the local

experience. Day two started with beignets

and coffee at the iconic Cafe Du Monde.

be prepared for a line and generally an

umbrella should be on your packing list.

it can become like this is this in like

To this in like 30 minutes. you'll be doing this a lot so

it's not a bad idea to practice this.

You know that's bad luck, right? Oh #$^%

If you're a big fan of hot sauce like we are you will not be

disappointed with the selection that

these places have. in Jackson Square

there's plenty of artists, street vendors

and street performers that are creative

and impressive. but if they ask you to

volunteer for something that seems maybe

a little bit dangerous you might want to

give it a second thought.

I broke my back. what do you mean by that?

my back is broken.

that night we did the haunted history

walking tours which is awesome. if you

believe in ghosts and spirits it's a

must do. i personally don't believe any

of that but there are plenty of factual

history and stories to keep me super

creeped out. for example the Lalarie

Mansion don't look it up the table weak

stomach. halfway through the tour there's

a pit stop at one of the oldest bars in

town. people say it's haunted and it was

built in the early 1700s. day three was a

swamp tour which is probably what I was

most excited about. they have a bus

pick-up option but if you have your own

mode of transportation that can save you

a couple dollars. so when we got there we

hopped onto a boat, saw some alligators

more alligators and oh yeah and some

more alligators. and I was actually super

happy about that because I have been

wanting to make an alligator friend for

a very long time there. were also some

pigs living in there which I loved

they're the most adorable creatures in

the world and randomly some raccoons

living in there - also known as \"trash

pandas\". they are also insanely adorable.

if you've never done a swamp tour I

definitely suggest putting that on the

list. for lunch we went to Gene's

po'boy which is a really good po'boy

place that opened 24 hours a day. their

food is absolutely amazing and it has

nothing to do with the fact that my name

is Gene ok? ok so maybe I did force

everyone to go because of that fact, that

doesn't change the fact that they're

delicious. go there! tell them gene sent

you! to take advantage of the good

weather we brought it back to the Airbnb

and ate it on the patio.

so that was Bourbon Street. you can start

off at one end of Bourbon Street and

make your way all the way down you will

not run out of places to see. one of my

favorites is Pat O'Brien's which has

multiple rooms, it has a fire pit, dueling

pianos. there's also the old absinthe

house if you want to give that a shot. by

the way it's a very common misconception

that absence makes you hallucinate. it is

however a very high in alcohol

concentration. I did find absence to be

kind of expensive, but hey how often do

you get to try it? there's the Carousel

bar that actually spins around while you

drink. and if you're a fan of the show

Bar Rescue there's Spirits on Bourbon

and they're imfamous Shot Chair. I

spent quite a bit of time in Hollywood,

Las Vegas, Miami and I can easily say

Bourbon Street in New Orleans is one of

the craziest places I've ever been.

another tip if you're on Bourbon Street

for your birthday they say pin $1.00 to

your shirt and other people will add to

it. Oh dude...

I'm missing a button. has this button been

missing the whole time? dude my shirt's

been undone the whole time should have

changed my shirt? dude no one gives a #$^#.

next day we went to a couple

different museums. the first one had lots

of history, art and some super

interesting things. and the second museum

we went to right next door was also

super interesting. It felt very modern on the

first floor it was all about Katrina and

the second floor was all about Mardi

Gras. then we got to the aquarium just

45 minutes before closing. it was one of

the biggest aquariums I've ever seen but

luckily that was just enough time to see

everything. you can touch stingrays there

which is oddly scary for some reason. I

mean I've scuba dived with sharks before

and I would say this was scarier for

some reason. and this girl is just straight

savage. pretty sure she should join the

military.

that night was Preservation Hall which

is a must do if you are a big fan of

jazz. definitely get a reservation ahead

of time because the room itself is small

and there is a huge line that builds

very quickly. once you're inside they ask

you to turn off your phones not take any

pictures so I didn't get to get any

footage, but it was amazing just sitting

there and just doing nothing but

enjoying the music for 45 minutes.

there's also no food, drinks or bathrooms

inside so keep that in mind, although you

can bring your own drinks from the

outside if you want. I couldn't think of

a better way to wrap up our trip. there

were a few things that we were hoping to

do but we didn't get time to. for example

there's an escape room there I've never

done an escape room but I hear they're

actually a lot cooler than they sound.

and last year when we went we did a

Steamboat dinner you hop on an

old-school steamboat right down the

Mississippi River while listening to

jazz music they also prepare dinner for

you it's as awesome as it sounds. as for

transportation aside from the bus we

took to the swamp

everything else was Uber/ Lyft

and walking. if you don't know what Uber

or Lyft is it's basically a taxi but

much cheaper and from this century. If you

sign up with either one of my promo

codes here then I believe you get your

first ride free and I will also get a

ride free so, thank you. when it comes to

eating they're all the places are really

good, you should try alligator gumbo,

jambalaya,

oysters. Acme Oyster House is a very

popular spot but a local told us that

there's plenty of other options that

serve just as good oysters. Acne

Oyster House can get pretty packed

so just know you have other options. also

thanks for watching these videos guys I

just woke up this morning to a thousand

subscribers and

it's kind of crazy to know that people

actually watch this stuff. see you guys on the next one.
