Football Trip to New Orleans – Travel
Around New Orleans
Unless you’re planning extensive or far-flung explorations
outside the major tourist zones (and, okay, we do recommend a
few outlying destinations), you really don’t need to rent a
car during your stay in New Orleans. The town is flat, ultra-
picturesque, and made for walking; there are plenty of taxis
(also Uber, Lyft, and pedicabs) and decent public
transportation. Indeed, a streetcar ride is as much
entertainment as a practical means of getting around.
Meanwhile, driving and parking in the French Quarter can be a
hassle. Many streets are narrow, potholed, crowded, and one-
way. Outside the gridded Quarter, streets angle in logic-
defying directions in attempt to align around the curvy
Mississippi. Street parking is minimal and parking lots,
including those at hotels, are fiendishly expensive.

Street Cars
Vintage streetcars built by Perley A. Thomas Company still run
along a 6-mile crescent from Carondelet at Canal Street in the
Central Business District through the oldest and most majestic
section of Uptown New Orleans, around the Riverbend to
Carrollton at Claiborne Avenue.

Swaying along St. Charles Avenue through a tunnel of Live
Oaks, the streetcar passes dozens of antebellum mansions,
Loyola and Tulane universities, breathtaking Audubon Park, and
fine hotels, restaurants and bars.

The Canal Street Line – The red Canal Streetcar Line takes
locals and tourists to work and play each day on a 5.5-mile
route from the foot of Canal Street through the Central
Business District and into the Mid-City area. The line ends at
City Park Avenue at the historic cemeteries or “Cities of the
Dead.” Get out and walk around. Some of the most interesting
architecture in the city is right here.

The Riverfront Line – Six vintage red streetcars operate along
the popular Riverfront line which will take you from the
quaint shops of the French Market to the Aquarium of the
Americas and beyond. Shopping, dining and sightseeing are just
a streetcar ride away. The Riverfront Line also passes by the
Outlet Collection at the Riverwalk, the shops at Canal Place,
and Harrah’s Casino.

renovations were provided in part by the National Football
League Youth Football Fund on behalf of the New Orleans
Saints.

Football Trip to New Orleans – What else
to see & do
Nicknamed the “Big Easy,” it’s known for its round-the-clock
nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular
cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French,
African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is
Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous
costumed parades and street parties.

French Quarter Walking Tour – you can find a number of free
walking tours or you can wander round yourself using the
easily available local maps or street maps.       Take in the
following key sights.
• Jackson Square
• St. Louis Cathedral
• The Cabildo
•   Presbytere
•   Pirates Alley
•   William Faulkner House
•   Tennessee Williams House
•   Bourbon Street
•   Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop

The Mercedes-Benz Superdome is established as a premier
destination for every type of event, and the grand structure
builds on that legacy continually. From the biggest, most
elaborate productions that thrill thousands to memorable
intimate gatherings, the Superdome adapts and captivates.
Located in the heart of the New Orleans Central Business
District, the Superdome is among the most enviable venues in
the nation. And with a stunning spot on the New Orleans
skyline and its iconic design, the Superdome is one of
America’s most recognizable landmarks. The NFL team New
Orleans Saints play from September to December.

National WW2 Museum – The National WWII Museum tells the story
of the American Experience in the war that changed the world –

City Park – Stretched out over an incredibly vast 1,300 acres,
City Park is one of the oldest in the country. Founded in
1854, the grassy oasis attracts millions of visitors every
year – and for good reason, too.
New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), New Orleans’ oldest fine
arts institution and hosts an impressive permanent collection
of almost 40000 objects.

Football Trip to New Orleans – Where to
Drink
New Orleans is the home of fabled bars where the glasses come
rinsed with history and garnished with legend. Some are
celebrated for centuries like Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop on
Bourbon Street – housed in a building older than the United
States. Others are lauded for their locale – on Royal Street,
the Hotel Monteleone’s revolving Carousel Bar delightfully
spins customers in circles. So many have rich histories. A few
win fame for the excellence of their bartenders like Arnaud’s
French 75. Others, like Pat O’Brien’s or Esplanade Avenue’s
Port of Call pour trademark drinks such as Monsoons or
Hurricanes.

In the past few years several craft breweries have opened in
neighborhoods as diverse as the Irish Channel, Lower Garden
District and Mid-City. Most offer tasting rooms that
complement the brewing operations, and some even pair beer
with dining options. Here is a full list of New Ordleans
MicroBreweries to explore.

The best dive bars in New Orleans are in residential
neighborhoods and in buildings that could almost pass for
abandoned. The decor is in the lowest of low key, and the vibe
is rather other-worldly. Here is a fun list of New Orleans
Dive Bars to explore.

Football Trip to New Orleans – Where to
Eat
New Orleans is one of the culinary capitals of the U.S., with
a cuisine entirely its own reflecting the city’s Cajun,
Creole, and French roots. Here are the dishes you should try
on your next trip (or three) to the Big Easy—and, more
importantly, where to eat them.

OYSTERS
Casamentos Restaurant – Louisiana oysters are some of the
biggest, cleanest and cheapest bivalves in the country.
Casamento’s casual white-tiled dining room is the perfect
place to suck down some raw ones and indulge in an “oyster
loaf,” which is similar to a po-boy, but served on buttery
Texas toast instead of traditional French bread. You should
know that it’s closed during the summer (sub-optimal oyster
season) and doesn’t take reservations.

Acme Oyster House has been a prime French Quarter dining
destination since its doors opened at the beginning of the
20th century. Props are also due to Drago’s Seafood
Restaurant, which bills itself as the “Home of the Original
Charbroiled Oyster.”

PO’Boys
Popular fillings for these sandwiches, served on crusty French
bread, include roast beef and fried seafood (typically
shrimp); make sure to order yours ‘dressed’ with lettuce,
tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise (onions are optional).

Johnny’s PO’Boys is the French Quarter’s quintessential old
school New Orleans po-boy joint. There does tend to be a line,
just not one that will lock you out of a temperature-
controlled environment. (511 St. Louis St)

Big’ Killer Po-boys, 219 Dauphine St and the back of Erin Rose
Bar, 811 Conti St

BEIGNETS
New Orleans’s signature pastry, the beignet, was first
introduced to the city by the French immigrants who made up
the city’s first European settlers. Each light, puffy treat is
a fried fritter of yeasted dough, dusted with powdered sugar
and best eaten fresh, with a cup of a coffee to wash it down
(much like its stolid cousin, the old-fashioned doughnut).

Founded in 1862, Café Du Monde has been sating New Orleanians’
caffeine fix for three centuries. If you’re looking for
delicious beignets, start here

MUFFULETTA
Take their name from a round sesame bread loaf that was
popular among the city’s Italian immigrants. The loaf is cut
in half and layered with varying combinations of cold cuts and
cheese (often salami, ham, mortadella, provolone, and
mozzarella) and olive salad. When reassembled, the flavors
blend together with the briny topping, the oil from which is
absorbed into the bread.

Central Grocery, an old-school Italian grocer and deli in the
French Quarter, claims that it’s home to the original
muffuletta.

RED BEANS AND RICE

Mother’s has been serving NOLA specialties to generations of
locals and visitors since 1938. Their red beans and rice comes
in various configurations with a choice of side dishes, but is
always cooked with smoked sausage and ham (‘Mother’s World’s
Best Baked Ham,’ that is).

GUMBO
Gumbo is a Creole classic: It’s a stew often made with okra
(as a thickener, though a roux or filé powder can also be
used), chicken, cured pork products or seafood, and (usually)
rice.

Arnaud’s had its 100th birthday in 2018 – which means this
Creole palace has been serving outstanding chicken and
andouille and seafood gumbo since the end of World War I.
Always a pleasure to dine in one of the fabulous tiled dining
rooms but choose the Jazz Bistro for live jazz as your gumbo
soundtrack.

Galatoire’s, open since 1905. A duck and andouille gumbo, a
simmered duck stock with a dark roux rich with sausage and
shredded duck

Bon Ton’s old-school family recipe for seafood gumbo is one of
the best in town. Gulf seafood in a cup that deserves a
standing ovation. Enjoy a cup with fresh red fish Monday
through Friday only, as this CBD institution is closed on
weekends.

FRIED CHICKEN

Willie Mae’s Scotch House was established in 1957 as a bar in
New Orleans’ Historic Treme neighborhood. After a year, the
bar was moved to it’s current location, which consisted of a
bar, a barbershop and beauty salon in the front. In the early
1970’s, the beauty salon closed, which brought on the demand
for a restaurant from Willie Mae’s bar customers. The aromas
of Mississippi and Louisiana cuisine emanating from the
kitchen filled the air and brought on constant demand for
delicious food. Their demand was met and the rest is history.
In 2005, Ms. Willie Mae Seaton was honored with the
prestigious James Beard Award for “America’s Classic
Restaurant for the Southern Region.”

Football Trip to Chicago – Travel Around
Chicago
Chicago is a walking city with an easy-to-navigate downtown
grid. Madison Street divides the city north and south, while
State Street divides it east and west.

The State/Madison intersection marks the origin of Chicago’s
address grid system. Addresses are relative to the distance
from that mark, with eight blocks to every mile. So an address
of 3600 North Clark means that it is 36 blocks north of
Madison.

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) operates the nation’s
second largest public transportation system – serving the City
of Chicago and 40 neighboring communities by rail and bus. Pay
cash for single trip rides or purchase a reloadable Ventra
Transit Card or Unlimited Ride Pass for added savings.

L’ Trains: Not all of Chicago’s eight ‘L’ lines are
“elevated.” They do, however, connect the city via above-
ground, street-level and subway trains and serve 144 rail
stations all over town, making the ‘L’ one of the most
efficient and affordable methods of transportation available.
Two lines operate 24 hours a day: the Blue Line, which
connects the airport and downtown, and the Red Line, with
service between the North and South Sides via downtown.

Buses: More than 100 routes lace the city; buses stop every
few blocks. Several lines operate 24 hours a day. Exact change
is required for cash fare. Single ride: $2.50 Ventra Tickets
are good only for a limited time and cannot be loaded again
once the value is used up. Includeds unlimited rides within 24
hours of activation. Unlimited rides for 24 hours: $10.00

Loop – The skyscrapers corporate headquarters delineate the
area of the Loop District – the heart of the downtown area,
named so because of the train-line loop that encircles it.
This part of the city is always exciting and bustling with
locals rushing off to work, drinking coffee at cafés, or
taking in the sights.

The Westside of Chicago is probably the city’s most diverse
quarter. This side of Chicago is full of ethnic restaurants,
shops, murals, and monuments. The Pilsen neighborhood, just
northwest of Chinatown in Bridgeport, is a classic example of
Chicagoan diversity. As the traditional entry point for
immigrants, there are a particularly high number of offbeat
vintage shops and restaurants serving eclectic cuisine.

Just north of Downtown is Uptown Chicago – a hip and laidback
district of the city filled with cultural allure. Close by is
also the lovely residential neighborhood of the Hutchinson
Street District. To the east of Uptown are miles upon miles of
beach; Montrose Beach on Lake Shore Drive is one of the more
popular spots.

O’Hare is a great place for an alternative stay in Chicago. It
isn’t too far from Downtown Chicago either, as the CTA Blue
Line ensures a good transport link to the urban heart of the
city. This area is a great place for anyone looking for
relaxation and high-end luxury and is ideal for businessmen,
with many conferences held here in hotel meeting rooms.

Soldier Field – Plans for the stadium began in 1919, to build
the stadium as a memorial to American soldiers who died in
wars. Soldier Field is a monument to the times and great
sports places typical of the “Golden Age of Sports” and is one
of few such stadiums still standing. Soldier Field was built
in three stages between 1922 and 1939 at a total cost $13
million. Soldier Field, when completed, contained 74,280
permanent bleacher seats made of fir planking. An additional
30,000 spectator temporary bleacher seats could be placed
along the interior of the field, upper promenades and on the
large open terrace beyond the north end zone. Stadium Tours
are available and cost between $15 and $25 for an adult and
start at $10 for under 18s.

The Shoenberg Brewery is a magnificent old, brownstone
building. In 1927 there were 30,000 ‘speakeasies‘ (so called
from ‘speaking easy’ so that cops couldn’t hear) in the United
States – twice the number of legal bars before the era of
prohibition. Shoenberg was where Capone’s gang stored and
brewed liquor to supply to the speakeasy racket.

Opposite the church once stood Schofield’s, a flower shops and
legitimate front of North Side boss Dean O’Banion. It became
the headquarters for the North Side Gang (and mob funerals

non-clown wedding. Located in the South wing of the Irish
American Heritage Center, the pub is completely hidden away
from plain view. The building itself looks very much like a
local high school, so finding a bar inside really makes it
seem like you’ve stumbled upon a Stonemasons hangout. In
addition to hearty pub fare and pints of Guinness, you can
expect live music after 9pm. How to get in: Enter through the
main doors of the center, take a left and head down the hall.
The bar has limited hours, however: Fridays and Saturdays from
6pm-12:30am. (4626 N Knox Ave)

Football Trip to Minnesota – Where to
stay
Downtown Minneapolis
Bordered to the north by the Mississippi River, downtown
Minneapolis is the place to book a Minneapolis hotel if
visiting the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Mill City
Museum or Guthrie Theater. The glass-and-steel high-rises at
the heart of downtown give way on the west to the Warehouse
District, home to the glittering, neon Hennepin Avenue Theatre
District. Along the downtown’s southern edge lies
idylic Loring Park, perfect for morning jogs and evening
strolls, and not far from the Minneapolis Convention
Center. Further south lies Uptown, filled with boutique dress
shops and vintage jewelery stores. Eat Street is where, not
surprisingly, you’ll find everything from paneled British pubs
to modest Vietnamese pho restaurants. Enclosed skyways make
city walking in Downtown Minneapolis pleasant year-round, but
the city is also covered by an extensive bus and light-rail
network

Downtown St. Paul
Downriver and east of Minneapolis, downtown St. Paul is known
more for its 19th–century architecture and gracious residences
than office towers. Located on the broad Mississippi River,
hotels in Downtown St. Paul are within an easy walk of Xcel
Energy Center, a conference and entertainment venue, and the
impressive white dome of the Minnesota State Capitol and
the Minnesota History Center. A few blocks farther west is
the Summit Avenue neighborhood, lined with stately Victorian
mansions and Italianate villas . American authors F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis once lived here. The
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Bloomington
neighborhood lie to the southwest.
