New Orleans is known for many things: nightlife, party atmosphere, incredible culinary scene and rich history, to name a few. Visit the dynamic city for less than $100 a day.
Start your day at a New Orleans institution, Mother’s Restaurant. Known for its “world-famous” baked ham, the cafeteria-style restaurant serves southern classics. Most entrées cost less than $10.

Next, spend time exploring the French Quarter. It’s a perfect spot for people watching and window shopping. Have lunch at Coop’s Place. The dive-y bar and restaurant is known for its fried chicken. A platter comes with rabbit and sausage jambalaya and coleslaw for about $12. Coop’s adheres to a strict 21 and over policy. Satisfy your sweet tooth at Café Du Monde. The open-air café in the French Quarter is known for its beignets, fried dough covered in powdered sugar. An order of three is less than $4.
Stroll on Frenchman Street, known for its music clubs. If you get in early, many places don’t charge a cover. If you don’t mind waiting in line, head to the iconic Preservation Hall. The music venue offers tickets on a first-come, first-served basis for $20.
Grab a late-night po’boy from Verti Marte. The 24-hour deli is popular among tourists and locals. The large sandwiches cost about $10–13.
