Explore the Historic French Quarter
The lively French Quarter is the vibrant heart of New Orleans. Cobblestone streets weave past iron balconies, beckoning you into jazz clubs, Cajun restaurants, and unique shops. Stroll down Bourbon Street, where the party rages into the night. Meander through artsy Jackson Square, framed by the striking St. Louis Cathedral. This is the New Orleans of postcard dreams.
But venture beyond the tourist track to find French Quarter gems like Frenchmen Street, the locals’ live music row. Wander the narrow streets of the Marigny neighborhood to the east and discover colorful Creole cottages. Stop for homemade gelato at Envie on Decatur Street or grab a Hurricane cocktail to-go from landmark Pat O’Brien’s on St. Peter Street.
