Thanks all for the suggestions, I had a great trip!
I ended up staying at a state campground in Westwego, and commuted to the city every day. Ate a few joints, enjoyed the St. Patrick's day parade, and went to the WWII museum. I think one of the parks had a jazz concert the Wednesday afternoon I went... definitely a unique experience listening to dub step jazz. The weather was great (60s-70s all week) but I didn't bring sunblock... definitely didn't appreciate the sunburn. Surprisingly, I saw a few other NJ plates in the area (not FR-S/BRZs' obviously)... didn't know there were others just as crazy as I to drive that distance. Everyone's obsession with the Fleur-de-lis intrigued me... I couldn't tell if they were marketing spots for the saints or a symbol for French pride.
I probably won't ever make a road trip down there again but it was a great city to visit, can't wait to visit some other time in the future.
