5 Low-Key Places In New Orleans To Let All Your Stress Go

There is no better feeling than walking into a restaurant or store and feeling a sense of relief. Being able to sit in an open area with friends or family and debrief about your hectic week, makes all the worries in the world disappear. If you are in desperate need of a place to let all your stress go, I highly suggest checking out these five spots, and trust me, you'll be aesthetically pleased.

1. French Truck Coffee

The bright yellow house with a royal blue door and white rocking chairs just screams come inside. You can enjoy a delicious coffee or tea with a pastry and sit inside under the lit and wooden interior or outside under the gazebo. The open windows on the side make the restaurant light and breezy. I would definitely recommend a warm cappuccino with almond milk and a blueberry muffin. Take a walk down Dryades Street, it's a hard place to miss.

2. Raw Republic

Upon entering, you would have no idea what the place can hold. There's a staircase in the back that connects you to a whole new world. The mix of the one blue wall, marble, wood, and greenery brings a calming essence to the acai bowl experience. The all white chairs and cushions brings you to peace and serenity.

3. Perch

People don't associate a furniture store s a place where you can find peace, but thats exactly what Perch furniture shop does. The space is made up of a few different rooms filled with random collectables. Normally, you wouldn't think in a million years to pair skulls with butterflies or rhinoceros with candles, but when all these different items come together, it creates an extremely calming atmosphere. You have to keep circling back around the store, just in case you don't miss something.

4. Drip Affogato

The all white and wood color scheme makes you feel refreshed. Just like the ice cream, this place is almost too perfect to touch. If you're not in the mood for ice cream, but still want something sweet, I highly recommend their ice coffee. Next time you are near Lee Circle, you have to go, because it is definitely not a spot you want to miss.

5. Gallery B Fos.

You may be tempted to walk past this when exploring Magazine Street, but you'll regret it. This art gallery features some of the most incredible artwork I have ever seen. The whole entire gallery is filled with colorful, abstract paintings. The contrast between the colors and the all white walls makes you want to sit and stare at her paintings for hours. The picture above is one of my favorite paintings, but even a painting can't describe how magical this place is.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
