Willa Jean
Frosé and avocado toast at Willa Jean is the best way to start the day and you can even get the frosé to-go! I would be here every week if I lived in New Orleans. Willa Jean is just around the corner from Hilton Garden Inn so we stopped by for frosé to-go before exploring the city on foot.

Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Salon By Sucre is the best spot for afternoon teatime in their casual, French mid-century modern dining room. Be sure to order the macarons, petit fours, eclairs, and assorted chocolates. The patio seating has an incredible view of the French Quarter.

Where to Stay in the new orleans french quarter
Hilton Garden Inn
Located just blocks from the French Quarter, the Hilton Garden Inn was walking distance from all the restaurants and shop. It was super convenient to set off on foot in the morning and explore the French Quarter. NOWFE’s Stroll and Sip event was held on Royal Street in the French Quarter so after a night of wining and dining, we just walked back to the hotel.
It was hard to not sleep in after having breakfast in bed but we had to check out the 18th floor rooftop pool deck, which has the best view of the city. We ordered a couple of drinks from the bar (bahama mama, hurricane, and Bloody Mary), and spent the afternoon lounging at the pool.
