| Drive the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway from New Orleans to Mandeville. It is 24 miles long. Mandeville is a nice town. Enjoy lunch or dinner in Mandeville. |

It's cash only at cafe du monde.
Surprised to learn that! |
NP- never knew that. This is good information for someone who researches a lot and has been to NOLA and cafe du monde a half dozen times. My DH always carries cash so was not a prob. May not be the case for everyone. |

Visit the WWII Museum. Truly amazing—expensive but we spent hours there.
Mardi Gras World was also fun. And the swamp tour was cool. Our guide was hilarious at Cajun Pride. |
| Agree with staying in the Garden District. Lots to do and it feels the safest. I would not stay in the French Quarter or along Canal St. |
| French quarter felt safe when I was just there but it will be loud at night. |
