The Best People Watching Spots in New Orleans

"If you like hip hotel bars, the kind that draws vaguely familiar celebrity types and millennials in town for power meetings and film projects, you’ll love the lobby bar at the Ace. In a setting dripping with art and crowded with comfy seating, slurp a cocktail and keep those eyes peeled. When you need a change, head to Bar Marilou next door, also a scene." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
