What's Here, Now And On The Horizon For 2020

What’s here, now and on the horizon for 2020

Over the past few months, New Orleans has welcomed a number of new openings, upping the city’s entertainment ante and adding to visitors’ must-do lists. Here, we highlight a few of the biggest and gaze into our 2020 crystal ball for a look at what’s to come.

LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Chances are you’ve already seen New Orleans’ newest attraction. Visitors traveling by plane now arrive at/ disembark from the airport’s new, 35-gate terminal, which opened in early November. The $1.3-billion facility is almost as much of a destination as the city itself, counting more than 40 restaurants and retailers among its three concourses. Beloved area eateries (Leah’s Kitchen, MoPho) are on the menu, along with nationally recognized brands, while popular shops such as Dirty Coast and NOLA Couture add to the local flavor. At the end of Concourse B, near Emeril’s Table, you’ll spot our own WhereTraveler store, where you can bag cool Crescent City collectibles before boarding.

SAZERAC HOUSE

Raise a toast to 2020 and “the official cocktail of New Orleans” at the recently opened Sazerac House museum, located just feet from where the original stood during the 1800s. In addition to a two-story still and complimentary cocktails, the free space features a variety of interactive exhibits that trace the city’s tippling timeline. Start on the third floor with an overview of New Orleans cocktail culture and work your way down.
