While not spooky or scary, eating at Middendorf’s is one of the cool things to do in New Orleans. Daryl, from The Walking Dead, gave this waterside restaurant a big thumbs up.
The St. Louis Cemetery is believed to be the most haunted in the country. Marie LaVeau, the beautiful 18th-century voodoo practitioner, is buried here.
Scary decorations can be seen everywhere on State and Charles Streets and all over the city. New Orleans takes its Halloween decorations seriously.
Nobody loves a parade like a New Orleanais (yes, that’s how you say it. I looked it up)…think Mardi Gras. This one is full of horror-themed floats, creative costumes, and blaring bands.
This is a fun way to see the city while visiting its haunted houses and learning their ghoulish legends. The guides also give you little tidbits of history and local culture that add perspective and depth to your visit.
Both sides of the street are lined with jazz clubs. It seems that’s where the costumed ghosts and goblins go for serious jazz after the parades.
