Beignets at the Singing Oak in City Park

I need all your New Orleans recs! I love the city, I haven’t been in years, and I’m planning a 3 day, 4 night trip with my boyfriend in early November. Where should we stay? Neighborhoods and specific hotels welcome. My brief trip formula is l: something to move my body (long walks, hikes, maybe a walking tour?), something to move my spirit (museums, galleries, a walking tour could fit here too), and at least one truly excellent meal. So what should we do? Where must we eat? Thank you!

New Orleans, LA Visit

I understand the appeal of Café du Monde at the French Market, but it’s full of tourists, it’s chaotic, it’s crazy packed. I raise you Café du Monde in City Park. Order to go, and enjoy them sitting under the Singing Oak, a beautiful old endemic tree strung with wind chimes. Walk through the park or visit the New Orleans Museum of Art afterward (or before). Plan according to the weather: morning/evening or sunrise/sunset.
