The first trip my guy and I took together was to New Orleans in the summer of 2010. I had been a handful of times but he was a Big Easy virgin (haha). One of my favorite things to do is play “tour guide,” and I loved showing him some of my favorite places in the city. We had such a great time we decided to make it an (at least) annual trip.
When we landed in New Orleans in July for annual trip no. 2, we grabbed a taxi and headed to our hotel in the Vieux Carre. (Insider tip: This taxi ride is usually about $60 each way, so if you go for a day trip as I’ve done a couple of times, you’ll come out ahead if you rent a car. If you’re staying in the French Quarter for a night or two, you can easily walk to where you want to go or take a streetcar for $1.25 per ride. Plus, parking at a hotel might cost you $20 per night, so I think a taxi makes things easier.)
