They have two restaurants. This bar/restaurant has a patio with fans blowing mist.

 

The stool/stumps are unusual for a bar.  Looks like a nice hotel👍

I noticed the valet parking at Intercontinental is up to $50 plus tax for 24 hours. So probably $55 after taxes. I’m glad I self parked at the garage next door for $35.

My favorite morning activity in New Orleans is watching the ships come in. You have to be an early riser and fortunately I am. At ten till 5 I woke up. I checked Valor location on my Carnival Fleet Tracker . 
 

Looks good

 

 

 

 

I check the port cam. Also looks good. I head out.

I think they finished the four seasons (old World Trade Center) looks good. It did take some parking from Hilton riverside though.

And you could watch a couple times a week if you shell out for a place at the four seasons behind me

If you’re staying at Hilton riverside and can get building 3 you’ll have several courtyards looking out at the river. One has a pool. I covered it in my New Orleans Hotel Guide: Hilton Riverside.

I think that Hilton is where we had Christmas brunch 18 years ago!  Biggest brunch I had ever seen and with a view of the Big Muddy😃

Along poydras there are a bunch of sculptures with descriptions by the side walk. I’m choosing this one today since I just came back from New York.
