New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

Average Rating

35

Deep in the Bywater section of New Orleans, Vaughan's Lounge is way down-home -- as in, it's a rambling, shambling dive in a residential neighborhood.

Go early for a chance to actually see the band, and to get some of the barbecued...

Stumbled on this place at 12:50 pm, and more importantly, the tour at 1pm weekdays. This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip as the docent (Owen?) was one of the most knowledgeable and entertaining guides we've ever had. Great stories about...

New Orleans is the place of blues and jazz and all that razzmatazz. At this barbecue lounge there is a lot of scope for visitors to enjoy both. The neatly grilled barbecue chops in vinegar sauce or the steaks dunked in spicy hot mustard sauce go well with the ales. After all these gastronomic antics, you can play ping-pong and work the extra calories off. The live jazz lingers long after you've...

This museum was the 1823 apothecary shop of Louis Dufilho, Jr., American's first licensed pharmacist, and it now houses a wide collection of medical artifacts, as well as a medicinal herb garden in the courtyard.
