Urban Game

Audubon Park Golf Club

Within sight of the Caesars Superdome and New Orleans’ bustling downtown, the golf course at Audubon Park has been satisfying urban players since 1898. A 2002 Denis Griffiths redesign of the Olmstead Brothers’ original freshened the 18 holes that meander through ancient oaks and past four lagoons, offering a relaxed Southern challenge in view of Tulane University. Playing just 4,220 yards, you’ll be on and off in the blink of a Crescent City eye—leaving plenty time to visit Bar Sazerac’s airport location for a pre-flight 19th hole libation. Cue the band...

STAY

Four Seasons New Orleans

Catch a streetcar to the French Quarter or just lounge at the rooftop pool and watch boats go by before dining at the incredible on-site restaurants. This Four Seasons is luxuriously appointed, fantastically serviced and perfectly located. Don’t miss the jazz in the lobby’s shimmering Chandelier Bar.

EAT

Pêche

This wood-fired grill in a former carriage house has been delivering inspired takes on South American, Spanish and Gulf Coast seafood for nearly a decade, and a recent visit confirms it’s still the place to go. If you have time for only one meal in New Orleans, you probably wouldn’t regret having it here.

DO

Café du Monde

Sure, it’s the most-hyped beignet place in town, but if you’ve not had the donut-like sweets and chicory coffee at Café du Monde, then you’re missing out. Skip the lines at the French Quarter original and hit the Riverwalk location instead, walking distance from the Four Seasons.
