City hotel guide

Metairie

Metairie is the largest unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and a key part of the New Orleans metropolitan area. With a population of 143,507, it is the fifth-largest Census-Designated Place in the United States. If incorporated, it would be Louisiana's fourth-largest city. While not a primary tourist destination, its proximity to New Orleans makes it an ideal base for frequent-flyer hotel travelers seeking convenience, local amenities, and a quieter alternative to the French Quarter.

Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Base your stay along Causeway Blvd or Veterans Memorial Blvd. These corridors offer the highest concentration of hotels, diverse dining options, and easy access to both New Orleans attractions and local Jefferson Parish amenities.

Getting Around

Metairie lacks its own airport. Travelers typically arrive at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). Driving via I-10 to the airport or downtown New Orleans takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Ride-sharing and taxis are the primary transport options.

Best Season

Spring (March-May) and Fall (September-November) offer mild weather ideal for exploration. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are mild with occasional rain. Monitor hurricane season (June-November) for weather alerts, but the area is accessible year-round.

Chef Sue Zemanick is no stranger to the New Orleans dining scene, having spent time in the kitchens of some of the city's famed restaurants before opening Zasu in 2019.

The menu is tightly edited, featuring a dozen or so dishes focused on seafood and blending local flavors with French techniques. A scallop shell holds two perfectly seared scallops in a Thai chile-lime butter with watermelon radish for a refreshing opener, while tilefish on a bed of

Note: Temporairly closedWith roots in Harlem and Senegal, Chef Serigne Mbaye cooks from the heart and draws on flavors from across West Africa. Once a pop-up supper club, the restaurant has found a home along Magazine Street in a cottage in Uptown. Two seatings a night flow at a leisurely pace in a dining room fit with modern light fixtures, dark wood tones, and African artifacts. The tasting menu is rather steep in cost but certainly yields pleasant compositions like a finely spiced soup of okra, fish broth, and crab or Gulf fish with jollof rice, sauteed sweet potato greens, and a peppy tama
