Metairie Road is arguably one of the best places to work in the greater New Orleans area. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and businesses with ample and easy parking. The whole of Metairie Rd is lined with beautiful, hundred-year-old oak trees that serve as a thick, picturesque canopy, most appreciated during the hot summers here.

Some of our favorite places near our location:

Royal Blend, 204 Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA 70005

Royal Blend is a great, locally-owned coffee shop nearby that offers great options for breakfast and lunch, in particular their salads and sandwiches. It’s also a great meeting spot with ample seating that allows us to get out of the office and get a nice change of scenery. It’s always bustling with activity, and you never know who you might run into there.

City Greens, 600 Metairie Rd, Suite E, Metairie, LA 70005

We love this place for its healthy lunch options, as they offer fresh, organic produce and unique ingredients that we can’t find anywhere else. The staff is always friendly, and they offer quick service which helps when we are short on time.

Rolls N Bowls, 605 Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA 70005

This is one of our favorite destinations for Asian cuisine in the city, and it just so happens to be in walking distance from the office. Fresh spring rolls, steamed buns, pho, and vermicelli are just some of the options available. Always delicious, and the prices are very reasonable.

Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine, 923 Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA 70005

Great option to try something a little different, as there always seems to be something great on the menu we haven’t yet tried. We love the ambience and decor, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Multiple boutiques on Metairie Rd make for great shopping before or after an appointment. With multiple styles to choose from and frequently refreshed inventories, there is always something for everyone at these stores.

Long Vue House and Gardens, 7 Bamboo Rd, New Orleans, LA 70124

While technically in New Orleans, Long Vue House and Gardens is actually only a two minute drive from the office. Eight acres of gardens, breathtaking architecture, and an exquisite art collection make this hidden gem a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday appointments, commitments, and other stressors of daily life.
