Their hand grenade is really good but don't get carried away or you'll end up face down in the street and believe me, you do not want that! One should be enough.

I visited the museum to help with a special event while doing AmeriCorps in the city a few years ago. It's not very large but the grand white house is beautiful and I'd suggest than it was quality over quantity in regards to the works that were displayed when I visited.

I have not yet had the chance to visit yet, but it's on my to do list. As I understand it, this little museum will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Mardi Gras Indians. It has a bunch of different Indian costumes and tells you all about the history and traditions of the MG Indians.

Entertainment & Activities
I love this particular tour company. They have smaller boats that can fit into some of the smaller canals, nooks, and crannies to find wildlife you might otherwise not get to see. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, and can answer just about any question. Last time I went was with a couple of Airbnb girls who stayed with me and we had a great tour, in fact the best yet.

The Laura plantation is one of my favorite plantation tours. It is the plantation where the stories of Brer Rabbit were conceived and it has a long history of female owners/caretakers. It's definitely one of the best I think.
