Crescent Park
 

So beautiful! The entrance is a stone's throw from the house and MAN is it cool. Walk the length of it with a coffee or cocktails or take a morning or evening jog (closes at 7pm). The view of the city and the river is beautiful.

Pizza Delicious
 

Just what it sounds like and only 4-5 blocks upriver on Piety St. If you're ordering to eat it at the house, go pick it up. It will be so fresh so fresh and it's so so close. Have a beer on the street while ya wait, cause why not?

Frady's Food Store
 

An institution! Only open until 3pm. Serves a plate lunch that changes daily. Great, reliable po'boys. Nicest people working there and owning it. You can get a Coke, smokes, Gatorade, headache medicine du jour, lunch, and a Bywater experience.
