Where to Picnic Poolside in New Orleans This Summer

"The Drifter is party central, particularly on the weekends — expect loud music, crowds, and delicious frozen drinks. The Drifter doesn’t have a kitchen, but food vendors set up shop most days, particularly on weekends, serving tacos, oysters, and more. Annual memberships are $400, but two-hour day passes start at $15. Then there are passes for weekend parties, like for Pride in June or evening DJ sessions." - Beth D'Addono
