The dating scene in New Orleans

New Orleans has one of the most festive and romantic dating cultures in the country, built on live music, food and a slow, sociable pace. Streets such as Frenchmen Street are filled with jazz clubs, and neighborhoods like the Garden District and Marigny offer quieter, historic settings. Dates here tend to be long, unhurried and centered on enjoying the moment.

Local dating tips

  • Plan for long evenings; things start late and are meant to be enjoyed slowly.
  • Go off Bourbon Street for better music and conversation.
  • Summers are hot and humid, so schedule outdoor strolls near sunset.
