Hi, ladies!

We will be honeymooning in New Orleans the week after Christmas. I'm wondering what to expect from NYE. Are there any great traditions or must-dos? Do we just go to the French Quarter and wander/bar hop?

Any suggestions, tips, tricks would be appreciated.

And yes, we are planning to attend the Bowl Game too!

Thanks!

    Christmas and New Years Eve in New Orleans is so beautiful! I love the French Quarter covered in garland and lights! I personally thing fireworks on the River is a must see. The crowds pack in along the riverside and Woldenberg Park so get try and get their early. There's a venue inside of Jax Brewery called the Riverview Room and I know people who have attended their NYE party (a more formal affair). They have balconies that overlook the river during the fireworks. I'm sure very romantic for honeymooners!

    We went last year before Christmas and loved it! Aside from NYE if you have time: take a streetcar to City Park for Celebration in the Oaks (see their FB page), Roosevelt Hotel for their beautifully decorated lobby, and pop into Arnaud's French 75 for a hot buttered rum. 'Visit new orleans' has a really great FB page and you can email them for tips too. Congratulations and enjoy! Christmas in NOLA is really something special!

    Just keep in mind that the Sugar Bowl will be happening on January 1, so there will be a lot of tourists/football fans in town.
