Here’s the scenario. You have just 24 hours in which to explore New Orleans. With the clock ticking, you don’t want to waste any time. Where to go and what to do first? We’ve come up with some don’t-miss suggestions that will fill every minute of your stay with fun, food, and fabulous atmosphere that exist only in the Big Easy. (P.S. Take note of and use the secret code words; you’ll feel like a native).
6:30 a.m.--Mother’s Restaurant
Start your visit with a breakfast that could fuel a football team. Huge blueberry pancakes lap over the edge of the plate, and biscuits threaten to
topple over. Secret Word: "Debris" (roast beef bits and pieces, along with gravy).
8 a.m.--Canal Streetcar
Hop on board the newest means of transportation in town. The Canal Street line clangs you all the way out to City Park,
where you can take a stroll. At this time of day, you begin to see the city waking up, and the popular cars aren’t crowded.
Secret Word/Number: $1.25. That’s what one-way fare runs. Have correct change.
9:30 a.m.--Crescent City Farmers Market
Head on down to Magazine Street where each Saturday morning you’ll find the most innovative culinary delights
developed by local chefs and farmers. Secret Word: "Tokens." If you forget your cash, plastic can be converted to
wooden tokens that you can use at the market.
