Find your vibe

Which New Orleans are you here for?

Four quick taps → a full 5-day plan tuned to how you want the trip to feel. Or skip it and browse all five vibes.

🚗 Uber & the no-car life

Everything here is a short Uber (or a walk). The Warehouse District, CBD, and French Quarter core are 4–10 min rides; Garden District and Frenchmen St are 10–15. The only thing that needs planning: the swamp tour — book one with hotel pickup. The WWII Museum is a 6–8 min walk, no Uber needed.

Your plan

Pick a vibe

Same city, five different trips. Tap a vibe to see the day-by-day.

Times are suggestions, not reservations. Swap freely — the app is a menu, not a schedule. Restaurants in bold live in the Eat tab with booking links.

Eat & drink

15 tables worth the trip

Cross-checked on Yelp & Google. 🔐 = reserve now. 🚶 = walkable from the hotel.

Two to verify day-of: Willie Mae’s (use the CBD location, not the closed Treme original) and Café du Monde’s overnight hours. Prices are per person, rough.

Live music

Who’s playing

Confirmed for your dates as of July 2026. Club lineups on Frenchmen St post only weeks ahead — re-check the links closer to the trip.

Confirmed shows
Music every night (no lineup needed)

These run essentially nightly — safe picks even when specific acts aren’t announced yet.

🎤 The nightly play

  • Sat 26 — Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular @ Fillmore, or a Frenchmen St crawl
  • Sun 27 — Built To Spill @ Tipitina’s (national act)
  • Mon 28 — Preservation Hall + Frenchmen St
  • Tue 29 — Rebirth Brass Band @ Maple Leaf (a NOLA rite)
  • Wed 30 — Frenchmen St or check Fillmore/House of Blues fills
