10 Quirky Things to Do in New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans is a city all its own, with many quirky experiences to be had. From ghost tours to tarot card readings to sampling the 鈥減lanet鈥檚 best鈥� hot sauce鈥here are many fun experiences you can have in just a few days of visiting New Orleans! (I am also announcing the giveaway winners of the Firmoo Eyeglasses Giveaway in this post鈥t鈥檚 at the bottom if you just can鈥檛 wait!)

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, taking 鈥渉aunted鈥� history tours are great fun鈥specially in a city like New Orleans that is rich in history! (And I mean, they let you bring a drink with too!) Again (as I said with my 鈥渉aunted鈥� tour of Rome), don鈥檛 expect any Ouija boards or seances when taking a haunted tour, though. This tour is a fun way to learn some of the darker more sinister events and deaths in New Orleans. (You鈥檙e not actually going to be hunting ghosts, haha.)

There are a few different times throughout the day you can book your tour, but obviously, it will be more fun to take a later tour. Not only will it be more 鈥渟pooky鈥� but the streets will be less crowded and you鈥檒l be able to hear your tour guide a bit better. You will meet your tour guide at Rev. Zombies Voodoo Shop and wander through the French Quarter for about 2 hours鈥topping at various spots to talk about the brutal death/historical event that took place there. And yes, you will see Madame Delphine LaLaurie鈥檚 house on this tour. (She was a New Orleans socialite who allegedly tortured and murdered her slaves in very brutal ways. Her home is supposed to be quite haunted. Oh, and she was a prominent character on AHS: Coven, which your tour guide will tell you has gotten the history horribly wrong.) You will also make a pit stop at a 鈥渉aunted鈥� bar about halfway through the tour, to replenish your beverages. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
