New Orleans before Independence Day.

I know there are a lot of fun things going on for the 4th but are there any good events days leading up.
What are your favorite local must go to bars and restaurants? (Non Tourist Trap) Thinking about checking out Colletes.

That would be good that weekend is essence fest weekend so you don’t have everybody at Collette I think you will enjoy Especially during the weekend. If you have any other ideas, just PM me so I could give better recommendations
