Where to stay in Ninth Ward

If you are ever in the Deep South go to Crazy Al's on Wednesdays. 5 dollars crabs.

Lake Catherine

If you're spending some time in Lake Catherine, Lake Pontchartrain and Fort Macomb State Historic Site are top sights worth seeing.

Lake Catherine
The Cajun Encounters tour took me to the Honey Island Swamp where I saw my first up-close, wild alligator. Not just one, but a whole bunch! Not to mention the turtles and local birds that are a lot different from the birds I'm used to in the north. 

Our tour guide, Bishop, was fantastic. He was funny, personal, and knew his stuff. He also managed to attract not just gators but wild pigs as well. 

If I go back to New Orleans--no--WHEN I go back, I fully intend on going on this tour again.

Viavant

Plan a visit to nearby attractions like Val Riess Park while you're exploring Viavant and the larger area.
