Off the Beaten Path

Too often visitors don’t explore enough of NOLA’s neighborhoods. Change that with a bike tour offered by Confederacy of Cruisers. Options include Creole New Orleans, Cocktail New Orleans, exploration of the 9th Ward, and a pedal-powered culinary jaunt that recently had me munching praline bacon ( below) at Elizabeth’s Restaurant in Bywater. Guaranteed you’ll learn scads about the history, culture, and quirks of New Orleans as you roll.
