Still haven't found my venue! I am seriously considering the Botanical Gardens at City Park but I don't like the 3 hour limit for the party. I would really like some kind of barn or something where we would be really D.I.Y. Any ideas? Hotel suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated! Also, my partner and I have a 4 month old baby who will be about 1 around the time of our wedding. Thanks! Okay- Big questions: I am getting married in NOLA next year. Still haven’t found my venue!

Should I ever decide to venture that way, this will be what I check before making any plans and base them around it. Wow, fantastic guide spread.

It is on Maple Street near the Riverbend where St. Charles meets Carrollton, which is another great area of town.And I’m sorry to report Sip has closed.I’m a graphic designer and I have my own on-line guide to New Orleans. It doesn’t cover shopping but just about everything else. http://creativefatcat.com/nolaguide/index.htmlFor shopping, check out StayLocal’s web site for a list of local businesses: http://www.staylocal.org/ To clarify, Maple Street Book Store is NOT in the Garden District.

A couple great spots not listed: Lost Sheep Coffee Co. now shares a space with the Savvy Gourmet -- they have a great story, we spent 4 hours reading in the sun on their terrace! In December! Also, Cafe Amelie in the French Quarter has the most delicious courtyard dining, it's quite literally a perfect little corner of the world (closed on Tuesday, though, to our dismay). Lastly, Stanley on Jackson Square was a nice retreat from the throngs of gaping masses. Lots of people there reading the paper. Good coffee, great croissant, and inventive egg dishes with a local twist. We just got back from our d*s guided visit of NO and loved it!
