EAT<\/b><\/h4>\n

For a breakfast that will leave you feeling revived rather than sluggish, Randy swears by <\/span>Willa Jean<\/span><\/a>, located in NOLA\u2019s Central Business District. The restaurant\u2019s incredible natural light makes it easy to snap the perfect Insta pic of Willa Jean\u2019s fresh take on Southern cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think you can\u2019t be surprised by a sandwich? Think again. Randy\u2019s favourite lunch spot, <\/span>Turkey and the Wolf<\/span><\/a> in Uptown, is throwing all the rules of the typical sandwich shop out the window. Try the collard green melt and your entire view of sandwiches will be turned upside down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sleek, dark, and sexy, Randy\u2019s pick for dinner is <\/span>Meaux Bar<\/span><\/a>, an intimate restaurant in the French Quarter highlighting some of New Orleans\u2019 best ingredients. Reservations are encouraged, but if you\u2019re marching to the beat of the city sans schedule, Meauxbar\u2019s full menu is available at the bar, where you can wait to be seated with cocktail in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

If bubbles and creative cocktails fuel your evenings out, head to <\/span>Hot Tin<\/span><\/a>, an amazing Uptown rooftop bar with a bird\u2019s-eye view of downtown. Decked out in the style of a 1940s artist\u2019s loft, the fun knick-knacks adorning the walls are a conversation piece all their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SEE<\/b><\/h4>\n

Be sure to check out <\/span>Crescent Park<\/span><\/a>, a fascinating repurposed urban park space that spans from the French Quarter to the Bywater neighbourhood. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of Randy\u2019s favourite neighbourhoods is the Lower Garden District. Wander its streets and you\u2019ll find beautiful NOLA-style mansions, hip eateries, plus plenty of eclectic antique shops.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

DO<\/b><\/h4>\n

As far as things to do in NOLA go, Randy is all about shopping local. Browse his favourite shop, <\/span>Goods That Matter<\/span><\/a> on Magazine Street, and discover an array of cute gifts \u2014 think candles, soaps, tees, and totes \u2014 aimed at giving back. <\/span>10% of the shop\u2019s proceeds are donated to feel-good causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If browsing local, independent bookstores brings you joy, you\u2019ll find your happy place at <\/span>Octavia Books<\/span><\/a> in Uptown. The quirky shop staffs fellow book lovers who are happy to help you find a new paperback to bury your nose in. Better yet, kick back on the store\u2019s comfy patio and get started on your new book right away!<\/span><\/p>\n

We love the idea of bringing back souvenirs that are locally made and super useful. Pick up a pair of locally made shades at <\/span>KREWE<\/span><\/a> in the French Quarter. Every time you put them on, you\u2019ll be reminded of the fun you had in New Orleans.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
