The Best Brunch Date Spots in New Orleans
Choose a neighborhood table, a café or an outdoor plan that leaves space for conversation. The New Orleans walking selection ranges from central parks to an urban wildlife refuge, so check the journey before heading out.
A daytime date leaves the rest of the day open. These five brunch options have different settings, from a neighborhood breakfast stop to a restaurant where you can make more of the meal. Check the current brunch service and menu before heading out; a restaurant serving dinner all week may have a more limited brunch schedule.

Less swiping. More stories.
I LOVE that this is a different approach to dating. The others app are sooo tough and this one genuinely feels intentional *all* the way through. You can actually trust the quality of each match because it gets to know *YOU* - way better than just the endless swiping I’ve had on every other app. Excited for this to continue growing!!
Night and day compared to other dating apps. Excited to see what comes of this in my life!
I've had a really positive experience with Known. The swipeless approach feels much more intentional than traditional dating apps, and it encourages genuine conversations instead of judging people in a split second. The profiles give you a better sense of who someone is, and the overall experience feels more thoughtful and less overwhelming. The app is easy to use, and it's refreshing to see a different approach to online dating that's focused on meaningful connections rather than endless scrolling. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for something more authentic.
