The 10 Best Tours Not to Miss in New Orleans
Funky Freret Street Foodie and Cocktail Tour
What’s the big picture here?
Our small group met in the middle of Uptown's emerging Freret neighborhood for a tightly run walking tour that covered about a mile of solid food and drinks.
Tell us about your fellow tourees.
Most tourists opt for Destination Kitchen's French Quarter Foodie Crawl because it covers all the classics (muffuletta, pralines, boudin balls, etc.). The company's Funky Freret package seems more suited for actual food-lovers—people who never stop pushing their palates. Case in point: this tour starts with alligator sausage.
How are the guides, then?
The guide was definitely as nerdy about locally sourced, artfully prepared awesomeness as the rest of us.
Anything you’ll be remembering weeks or months or years from now?
Cocktails at Cure, a James Beard nominee that's been at the forefront of New Orleans' new school for nearly a decade now.
Money, time—how can we make the most of both?
Power Yelp users and Food Network fanatics will get the most mileage out of this tour.
