Serving the famous NOLA po-boy since 1911, parkway is the go to po-boy shop in Mid-City. I'm a sucker for the roast beef, but the surf and turf (shrimp and roast beef) and fried oyster are always on point as well.

Barrel Proof
1201 Magazine StThis place is a whiskey cave. In a good way.
When I go to Bourbon street this is typically the only bar I'll visit. It's supposedly the oldest bar east of the Mississippi, no idea if that's true. Order the purple drink!

New Orleans newest outdoor bar. Great for watching games as they have a lot of TV's hung around outside. The on site food trucks have been quite tasty in my experience. Beware the line at the bar can get pretty long on busy nights!

Parks & Nature
Let me start by saying that city park is huge. It's home to many attractions including the New Orleans Museum of Art, Botanical Gardens, Sculpture Garden, City Putt Golf, Mornging Call Coffee & Beignets, and much more. Rent bikes, canoe/kayaks, explore the nature trails, or play 18 holes.
