Metairie, Louisiana
Metairie is a waterfront suburb of New Orleans and a prime base for people looking for a great discount accommodation base. Stay local for at least some of your trip and explore this area for yourself. Ensure you take a drive across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway at some point and admire this engineering marvel that spans across the largest inland estuary in the United States. Take a moment to unwind and relax in Lafreniere Park by one of the picturesque lagoons or carousel.
