The 10 Best Things to do in Central City, Louisiana (LA)

February 3, 2022 Toi Mattera

Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

Chef Conner was awesome. My 15 year old and I had the sauces class and he kept it educational, lively, funny and delicious. Come hungry! Have new techniques to work on, new recipes and new appreciation for southern cuisine.

Bayou Bar

The Bayou Bar, where the New Orleans Saints football franchise was christened in 1966, offers a casual tavern-style ambiance, warmed by exposed wood and the original Charles Reinike mural. Once a drinking den for both Sinatra and Capote, the Bayou Bar features an extensive whiskey list, complemented by a menu of contemporary American bar fare. Join us on Wednesdays for our all-day happy hour (a Happy Day!) celebrating our love of whiskey.

Was staying at a nearby hotel, walked by this place and decided to try it. The bartenders are whiskey/bourbon savvy and the place is stocked with some really great selections. All the BTAC is there as well as some other really hard to find stuff. Even better was the food! We ordered sticky beef tips and boudin chimichangas which were both delicious. We will definitely be stopping back. And the piano player was great.
