We need your help! Conference attendees are looking for fun things to do after hours – and over the weekend – in New Orleans. What’s your favorite thing about the Crescent City? What sites, attractions, restaurants do you recommend? You’ve already seen my list of favorites (see Shelley’s Picks), but hey – there’s like a million things that make NOLA a great destination.
To share your suggestions and recommendations, simply add a comment to this post. And to make it interesting, I’ll send you a special gift for participating (while supplies last). I was rummaging around the secret vault the other day and came across two great items:
- Very New Orleans, A Celebration of History, Culture, and Cajun Country Charm written and illustrated by Diana Hollingsworth Gessler.
- Our New Orleans: A Benefit Album for the Gulf Coast, various artists
At the end of your post, add your name, district name and indicate which item you prefer (book or CD) and we’ll ship your gift right away.
Get those suggestions posted! We can’t wait to hear from you!
Hotel Suggestions for Saturday, April 10
January 7th, 2010Shelley
I’m sorry to report that the Sheraton New Orleans is completely booked Saturday, April 10. Not to worry, though! I just did a quick check on Hotels.com and found some great deals:
- International House $149
- Country Inn & Suites New Orleans French Quarter $169 – Note the name of this hotel is misleading. While it’s a short walk to the French Quarter, it’s technically in the Arts District. Still, a great location!
- Omni Royal Crescent Hotel $144
- Hilton New Orleans/St. Charles Avenue $129
- Doubletree New Orleans $123 – Great value, great location!
The above hotels are just blocks from the French Quarter and right in the middle of the Arts District. A wonderful New Orleans neighborhood!

Remember, it’s French Quarter Festival weekend, so rates and availability may change frequently. Visit Hotels.com for the most up-to-date information. Good luck!
