Study: New Orleans Is One Of The Loneliest Cities In U.S.

In the context of the report, it characterizes “lonely” households as those that are occupied by one person. These one-person households typically have people who have delayed marriage from the age of:

  • 30.1 for men
  • 28.2 for women

The Saints and Pelicans are two of the hottest tickets in town. The only issue is that tickets for both are kind of expensive!

What will you do? If you can’t get inside the game, don’t sweat it. Go to a sports bar instead. It will be much cheaper!

Here are some great sports bars in New Orleans.

Enjoy The Greenspace At Confetti Park

451 Pelican Ave, New Orleans, LA 70114 |  (504) 658-3201

“Confetti park had a neighborhood vibe,” says one visitor, “with a welcoming atmosphere. an amazing brass band of youth, lead the music of the parade, while the dancing boy energetically lead us down the neighborhood’s streets. homemade floats, bikes, scooters and roller skates followed the music. wonderful time, and we are grateful for the experience.”

Try Some Beignets At Café Du Monde

  • Riverwalk: 500 Port of New Orleans Pl #27, New Orleans, LA 70130 | (504) 218-7993
  • French Market: 800 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70116 | (504) 525-4544
  • City Park: 56 Dreyfous Dr, New Orleans, LA 70124 | (504) 766-0250

Here’s what one reviewer says about Cafe Du Monde (French Market): “Yummy Yummy! It is worth the wait for this classic of New Orleans. No trip would be complete until you have powder all over yourself! There are multiple lines, so be sure to keep an eye out for the quickest one. Also note that seating is VERY limited, so I recommend you have someone scout tables while another waits in line if you plan on eating at a table.”
