Resident Life - Emergency Medicine Residency Program
New Orleans is a strong city full of historical significance and wonderful culture. It has persevered through severe tragedy and rebuilt with spirits set high while maintaining the unique factors that have made New Orleans a home for so many. Life in New Orleans is like nowhere else. It is a world all its own. The art, architecture, streetcar rides, festivals, events, history, and food is most definitely like none-other. There is always somewhere to go, something to do, and something amazing to eat. Your days can be planned with red beans & rice on Mondays, fish on Fridays, king cake (during Mardi Gras season of course), along with crawfish, snowballs, po-boys, and beignets all day every day (especially if they’re from Café Du Monde). You’re bound to find a favorite and you’ll never be able to eat at every single restaurant that New Orleans has to offer because there are so many.
You can experience New Orleans like a local (since you’re officially one as a Resident) and visit here to find some fun things to do, more places to eat, drink, etc.
Some of our favorites (and there are many) we recommend are below, but obviously there are countless things for you to explore.
