As Mardi Gras approaches, excitement builds for a trip to New Orleans, a city bursting with unique experiences. Tourists can engage in various activities from food tours to enjoying picturesque architecture. However, the challenge lies in avoiding tourist traps—overpriced restaurants that misrepresent local culture. This article aims to share insights from an ex-resident's perspective, highlighting spots that promise a local vibe but do not deliver genuine experiences, thus offering a guide for travelers to enhance their visit to the Crescent City.
No tourist wants to feel like they're experiencing a city only from the lens of an out-of-towner. They want the local experience, steeped in culture, history, and art.
These gimmicky spots are overpriced, over-the-top, and just plain overrated, and they should be avoided at all costs.
