I was there for a few days during one of the IDSA conferences, other than generic french quarter stuff the one thing we did that I really enjoyed was rented some bikes and rode through town up to lake Pontchartrain. There were maybe 1 or 2 seedy moments where some hillbilly’s made us slightly uncomfortable but we were able to ride up to city park (which has an art museum and some nice views) and then up to the lake. Made for a nice break between eating and drinking and drinking and drinking.
