It was the morning of our last day in Nola and we still had a full day of adventures awaiting us. (Can you tell I packed as much as I could into each day of my New Orleans itinerary?)

My daughter and I hopped on the St. Charles streetcar ($1.25 per person) and took a ride over to Commander’s Palace for their Sunday Jazz Brunch. It was one of the first things I had written on my list of things to do in New Orleans way back when I was planning the trip.

New Orleans trolleys

It’s a New Orleans landmark with award winning food, and you’ll want to make your reservations early because it books up quickly. I called a couple of weeks ahead to make mine.

Commander's Palace New Orleans

It was probably one of my favorite memories of the whole trip because it was so distinctly New Orleans: the music, the history, the atmosphere and the food.

Speaking of the food, it was beyond beyond. The presentation alone was magnificent, but the food itself was an explosion of decadence and satisfaction. It was pricier than what I’m used to but worth every penny.

And how can you not love a Jazz Brunch? The musicians were happy to take song requests and they rotated around the restaurant as they played so everyone had a good chance to hear and enjoy them.

We left with happy and full bellies and enjoyed the magnificence of the Garden District as we strolled back to the streetcar for a ride back to the hotel and a nap.

When we woke up mid-afternoon, we strolled over to do some French Market and French Quarter shopping. I loved just walking down the streets and popping into the stores that caught my eye.

New Orleans architecture

Late in the afternoon, we decided to walk over to Harrah’s Casino, yes walk. So much of what we wanted to do was within walking distance of our hotel, the J.W. Marriott. There’s no question I will stay there again on my next visit.

Harrah's Casino New Orleans

I’m not the gambling sort, but I’m happy to drop some coins into the slot machines and hope I can make them last long enough to chalk it up to the cost of entertainment, so we did just that in the penny slots. We earned pennies, we lost pennies, and it was totally fun.

At this point, it was dinner time so we walked (see what I mean with the walking?) over to Mulate’s for dinner. They have live Zydeco music every night and a dance floor where happy diners of all ages twirl around.

We absolutely loved this restaurant and I highly recommend it. There’s such a positive energy inside, the music is catchy and fun,and the food is fantastic.

Try their red beans and rice. We loved it!

And sadly, after dinner we walked back to the hotel to pack and get some sleep before our early morning flight home which means this is the last in my series of New Orleans posts. I hope I’ve shown you how much New Orleans has to offer its visitors. I can’t wait to go back and explore it again.

I love New Orleans!

    I’ve never been to New Orleans, and your posts are making me want to go!! That food…oh my goodness! And I’m totally like you with gambling. I like it as a form of entertainment. 🙂 If I can come away with a few more dollars than I started with, then even better.

    I just saw Commander’s Palace on an episode of Top Chef and it’s now on my to do list for a visit to New Orleans. I really want to visit with my husband some day and since it’s within driving distance for us, I think it will happen… eventually!

    I love NOLA! We walked every where when we visited as well. Walking makes room for more wonderful food and drinks! After reading all your wonderful experiences, I have to make plans to go to NOLA again! I haven’t been there since the hurricane.

    You’ve out and out given me the New Orleans bug!! I’m excited about a visit there someday!

    Your baby girl (ha! I call mine my baby too and she’s almost taller than me) looks so stylish in all of her pictures!! Just gorgeous (her and the city). And the food on those plates does look fantabulous. Those pancakes are calling my name.

    This was a fun series!! I’m sorry to see it end. 🙁

    We went to all those places when we were there except the Jazz brunch – which looked amazing from your pictures! I won the jackpot with nickel slots at Harrah’s – which was funny, since it was just nickels in ended up being like $40 🙂

    I just came upon your post of your New Orleans adventure, day 5. I need to go back and look at the rest of your post. I am glad you and your daughter enjoyed your stay in New Orleans, I live here (Metairie) and it is nice to see when someone posts about the good time they had in our city. I love New Orleans and lived here all my life, can’t imagine living anywhere else. There is always something to do, something to see and never run out of places to eat! I hope you will visit us again soon!
