After a long week of studying, classes and tests, nothing treats a little end-of-the-week stress and anxiety like “The Fly”. This relaxing, must-see park along the Mississippi River feels like such an escape from the day-to-day routine. With hundreds of students and locals picnicking, drinking kegs and wine, tossing around Frisbees, taking pictures and watching as the sun goes dow, this spot is definitely at the top of my list.

Tulane students have pretty much made it a tradition to grab a few bottles of wine, a picnic blanket, a frisbee and head down Audobon park to The Fly. Classes on Fridays seem so unbearably long in anticipation of this go-to Friday spot.

I’ve never been so relieved to find something as unique as The Fly. Hanging out with the best people, drinking from wine bottles and watching the river boats go by down the Mississippi, will never get old. It helps me unwind in the best ways possible.

The Fly is a pretty unbeatable spot that continuously takes my breath away!
