Tips from the community
Get a To-Go Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle:
Hand Grenades are one of the most iconic beverages invented on Bourbon Street. They’re a guaranteed hangover due to their high alcohol volume and amount of sugar, but nevertheless you need to try one when you’re in the Big Easy. Tropical Isle is the original, everyone else that claims to be is lying. Get a classic pineapple grenade on the rocks, meander Bourbon while you drink, and keep the souvenir cup as a flower vase for when you get home.

The Ultimate Bourbon Street Bucket List
kaylee (Kaylee Giacomini) I know, I know, Bourbon Street is touristy. That being said, I live two blocks away from this iconic New Orleans stretch featured on everything from the show “Bar Rescue” to the film “Girl’s Trip”. Love it or hate it, if you’re visiting the city you must spend a night on Bourbon to see what all the talk is about. I’ve now been to every single establishment lining the strip (no exaggeration) and can share some of the most quintessential things to do at this 14-block-long frat party. This Bucket List is also in order starting from the Canal Street corner.
