N’Awlins. The Big Easy. The Crescent City. New Orleans is known by many names and its streets hold endless mysteries. We hope this guide helps you to make your own memories on these oak-lined streets. New Orleans is happy to see you, and we’re glad you chose KITSCH* to complete your stay. So get out there, get exploring and eat the best food on the planet. We’ll have the room ready for you when you return.
–Anthony Bourdain on New Orleans
* The French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré or the “Quarter” to locals, sits on a crescent in the Mississippi River on some of the highest ground in New Orleans. Not only is it the city’s cultural hub, but it is also a community where residents take time to welcome visitors in the streets. Intimate and unique, New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood has exerted a spell over writers and artists since the time of Mark Twain, Lafcadio Hern and John James Audubon. French Quarter architecture blends Spanish, French, Creole and American styles together in an idyllic, enchanting setting.

* Nestled just down river (east) from the French Quarter are two of New Orleans’ most distinct and well-kept secrets: the Faubourg Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods. Both neighborhoods are only minutes away from the French Quarter, yet are tucked back into their own diverse communities, combining oldtime New Orleans culture with a hip, contemporary bohemianism. From quaint shotguns and colorful Creole cottages, to Italianate mansions, American townhomes and storefront renovations, the Marigny and Bywater are shining examples of how history and urban renewal can successfully merge together to create a funky harmony only found in New Orleans.

* The Warehouse District, known today as the New Orleans Arts District, was originally established as an industrial area in the 19th century to store grain, coffee and produce shipped through the Port of New Orleans. As commerce, trade and industry practices evolved over time, the area’s prosperity faded and the once busy streets became eerily quiet. The transformation from an urban wasteland to what many have called “the SoHo of the South” began in 1976 with the opening of the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC).

* “To the typical Uptowner, New Orleans was Uptown,” writes author Margaret LeCorgne. The Uptown District, beginning upriver of the Garden District and stretching to Broadway Street, is a self-contained residential world. It’s a place where late 19th century homes are scrupulously maintained and small-scale restaurants and shops reinforce the feeling that you are visiting a village, not a city. Today’s Uptown retains many of the grand homes built in the 1890s along St. Charles Avenue and in exclusive cul-de-sac developments like Rosa Park.

* Mid-City is the heart of New Orleans, the area where locals come when they want to remember what makes this city the generous, pleasure-loving, hardboiled town that it is. Stop by any neighborhood eaterie here for an elegant experience or a meal to remember at the numerous formica counter favorites. Mid-city showcases the spirit of a true neighborhood as defined by that unique measure of camaraderie found only in this city: It has its own Mardi Gras parading society. The Krewe of MidCity, founded in 1933 by a group of area businessmen, is the fifth oldest Carnival marching organization in New Orleans.
