Hotel and food suggestions.

Question

Hello! Looking for hotel suggestions within walking distance to Caesars Superdome and hopefully it'll be near the tourist/ food places because I really dont want to rent a car. Will have a 5 year old with me and dont want to drag around a car seat. Not looking for the most luxurious hotel, going mainly for the game and food, but also not staying in a dump either. Love seafood but dont eat pork. Beignets are a must lol first time coming. Thanks to all!

Answer

Visiting New Orleans for the first time with a young child and focusing on the Superdome and local food is very doable without a car. Staying centrally in the downtown or Central Business District (CBD) will give you walking access to the Superdome, restaurants, and some classic tourist attractions.
