FREE WAYS TO PLAY

When you take a New Orleans vacation, it’s possible to have a good time without breaking the bank. And the memories made during it all? Well, they will be priceless!

Let the Good Times Roll During a Free Festival

Explore New Orleans’ Cities of the Dead

There’s no doubt New Orleans can host one memorable party. Some of the best shindigs present amazing entertainment lineups free of charge. A couple of favorites are the Congo Square New World Rhythms Festival in March and the French Quarter Festival in April.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is not only New Orleans’ most famous — it’s also the easiest to reach from the French Quarter. The 1789 cemetery, with its famed aboveground maze ©Miles/Denise Chambers of mausoleums, is within walking distance of the French Quarter and Tremé neighborhoods. Take a self-guided daytime tour to see the permanent home of some of the city’s most notable residents, including Voodoo queen Marie Laveau.

Settle in for Some Belly Laughs

Give ‘Em the Light: Open Mic Comedy Night at the House of Blues is a Tuesday night feel-good fest in the French Quarter. Watch performances unfold in the Voodoo Garden and, if you’re feeling extra brave, put your name on the list and take the stage.

Get Fired Up at a Glassblowing Demonstration

Take a Legendary Literary Tour

Cut a Rug

See artists in action by visiting one of the city’s local glassmaking studios. New Orleans Artworks at the New Orleans Glassworks & Printmaking Studio offers free demonstrations to visitors. The expert ©New Orleans Glassworks artisans at Rosetree Glass Studio and Gallery use traditional techniques to create everything from perfume bottles to barware, and they invite visitors into their Algiers Point studio to see how it’s all made.

Romance, mystery and poetic proclamations — New Orleans has inspired some of the world’s most celebrated authors. Embark on a self-guided walking tour and see where Tennessee Williams (722 Toulouse), William Faulkner (624 Pirate’s Alley), Truman Capote (711 Royal), Thornton Wilder (623 Bourbon), Walker Percy (1820 Milan) and Anne Rice (1239 First) once lived.

The NOLA Jitterbugs keep local tradition and fast-footed moves alive on the dance floor. Join the energetic group for gratis swing dance lessons on Wednesday evenings at the Spotted Cat Music Club on Frenchmen Street.

ARCHITECTURAL SCAVENGER HUNT Put on your thinking cap, grab your magnifying glass and let loose your inner Sherlock, because the scavenger hunt for New Orleans’ famous architecture is on. Clue-less about the difference between Creole cottages and double shotguns? Greek Revival and Creole townhouses? Then read on to unlock these mysteries and more.

Greek Revival House CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for cottages with high and steep front-facing gable roofs, occasionally with wide front porches, brick chimneys and (often) wooden storm shutters.

CLUES YOU CAN USE: The front porch columns are a dead giveaway, as are parapets ©Classical American Architecture (a short wall running the length of the roof) and square wooden details above the windows.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Dauphine Street in the Marigny is a great place near the French Quarter to find creole cottages, as is Marais Street in the Tremé (near the New Orleans AfricanAmerican Heritage Museum).

X MARKS THE SPOT: Algiers Point has a thriving historic district conveniently located within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Check out the area around Delaronde and Olivier streets.

Creole cottage ©Mark Sanders

creole cottage

creole townhouse CLUES YOU CAN USE: These two- and three-story brick buildings with wrought iron-skirted balconies and hidden courtyards are among New Orleans’ most famous architectural marvels.

Creole townhouse ©Denise Chambers

X MARKS THE SPOT: Creole townhouses are found along Julia Street in the Arts/Warehouse District and throughout the French Quarter. Find the corner of Royal Street and Ursulines Avenue for a great example of this classic local architectural style. To view some of the townhouses’ courtyard gardens, contact The Historic New Orleans Collection (at hnoc.org) about their architectural tours of the Quarter.

raised center-hall cottage CLUES YOU CAN USE: These one-and-a-half storied cottages bear a strong resemblance to old plantation homes, featuring six columns spanning across a front porch that runs the length of the house. They are raised two to eight feet above the ground on brick piers, and the front door is centered at the top of the front steps. X MARKS THE SPOT: Visit 1113 Chartres St., just three blocks away from Jackson Square in the French Quarter as a starting point. The Garden District, Carrollton and Uptown neighborhoods also contain remarkable examples of this Southern architectural style.

Raised center-hall cottage ©Wally Gobetz

double gallery house CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for two-story homes set back from their property lines, with upstairs balconies and asymmetrical façades.

Shotgun houses ©Preservation Resource Center

Double Shotgun CLUES YOU CAN USE: These familiar wood-framed row houses are divided into two narrow, rectangular apartments that abut the sidewalk. Often, you’ll find shotguns that lack a front yard. X MARKS THE SPOT: The “double” is New Orleans’ most popular architectural style. You can find them throughout the city, particularly the Irish Channel. The Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring old homes — including many shotguns — hosts the Renovators’ Happy Hour on the fourth Thursday from April through October. Visit prcno.org for more information on happy hour tours and a chance to see the inside of a double shotgun.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Esplanade Ridge has the finest examples of these beauties. Starting from the French Quarter, drive or bike up Esplanade Avenue toward City Park.

Double gallery house ©Andrew Alwert

New Orleans Architectural Details CLUES YOU CAN USE: New Orleans is a paradise of old-style architectural features that recall the Big Easy’s cosmopolitan influences. Just seek out the city’s handmade copper gas lamps, wrought-iron second-story balconies, horse head-shaped hitching posts and the secretive brick-walled courtyards that are seen throughout town. X MARKS THE SPOT: The older parts of New Orleans, built before electricity and automobiles were widely available, are full of distinct architectural details. Hitching posts and walled courtyards are found all over the French Quarter. Gas lamps and wrought-iron balconies are also prominent in the Quarter, as well as in the Arts/Warehouse District and Garden District. ©Miles/Denise Chambers

LIVE MUSIC DAYS A WEEK In New Orleans, you can “do whatcha wanna” any day of the week. Here are just a few choices for New Orleans live music options.

Monday

The Charmaine Neville Band at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro

Like her father Charles (of the famed Neville Brothers), Charmaine Neville was born for the stage. Since 1985, the soulful singer and her band have been performing their blend of jazz standards, R&B and gospel weekly at Snug Harbor.

Tuesday

Rebirth Brass Band at the Maple Leaf Bar

This iconic Uptown venue features live music nightly, reserving a standing Tuesday slot for these local legends. A New Orleans institution, Rebirth never fails to bring audiences to their feet with a romping fusion of funk, soul and brass.

Wednesday

Thursday

YLC Wednesday at the Square

On Wednesday evenings from March to May, Lafayette Square comes alive with free concerts featuring New Orleans jazz, funk, pop and brass bands. And it’s all for a good cause: the nonprofit Young Leadership Council, whose mission is to create tomorrow’s leaders through community projects, sponsors the gig.

Zydeco concerts at Mid City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl

Zydeco is unmistakably Louisianan and irresistibly up-tempo. This musical style brings together the accordion and washboard and incorporates elements of rhythm and blues, rock and traditional French folk. Every Thursday at the legendary Mid City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl, you can roll a few strikes before trading in your bowling shoes for a pair of dancing shoes.

Dukes of Dixieland on the Steamboat Natchez

For your trip down the Mississippi River, the Grammynominated Dukes of Dixieland make a great soundtrack. Settle in for the ride and hear the sounds of a musical style born in the Big Easy. With more than 40 years performing this brand of jazz, you can bet that the Dukes are among the best.

Where to Hear NOLA Music Styles BRASS BAND, DIXIELAND, RAGTIME, GYPSY JAZZ THE INSTRUMENTS: Trumpet, trombone, drums, saxophone and sousaphone comprise brass music; Dixieland adds a little clarinet, banjo and tuba to the mix; ragtime is piano-focused and Gypsy jazz grasps its unique sound from violins and acoustic guitars. THE SOUNDS: Brass bands infuse European-style military music with funky, African influence. Dixieland combines ragtime and brass marches and ragtime delivers jingly piano and springy rhythm, while gypsy jazz speeds things up with a special form of rhythmic guitar strumming called “la pompe.”

Saturday

Sunday

Take Your Pick!

It’s Saturday night in New Orleans — you’ll be hard-pressed to find a joint that’s not rocking with live music. From Frenchmen Street to Bourbon Street, musicians are gearing up to play some of our world-famous jazz, zydeco, blues and brass music. Check local listings to find where your favorite artist is playing tonight.

Gospel Brunch at House of Blues

Gospel star Kirk Franklin personally selects the songs performed at Gospel Brunch, a Sunday morning concert and brunch buffet that’s guaranteed to please your palate and lift your spirits.

Venues and performers are subject to change. Please call in advance to confirm.

For a real insider’s take on New Orleans’ best music, check out the internationally syndicated New Orleans Calling — produced by our friends at New Orleans’ own jazz and heritage radio station, WWOZ 90.7 FM. Each episode includes a custom playlist built around a cultural or musical theme related to New Orleans, and features tracks from some of our city’s finest musicians. You can find all the show’s episodes online at wwoz.org/programs/new-orleans-calling.

TUNE IN

HEAR IT HERE: Jazz and big band tunes prevail at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro (snugjazz.com), an intimate two-story venue on Frenchmen Street. Many local performers got their start at The Maple Leaf Bar (mapleleafbar.com) where nightly live music spans blues, funk, R&B, rock, jazz, jam bands and more.

CAJUN & ZYDECO THE INSTRUMENTS: Cajun incorporates fiddles, accordion and triangle (traditional); guitars and keyboard (contemporary); and zydeco showcases the piano, rubboard and drums. THE SOUNDS: Cajun dance music lends itself to waltzes and two-steps and is commonly heard at festivals and dance halls. Zydeco pulls its folksy tune from rural southwest Louisiana, with lyrics still sung in Louisiana Cajun French. HEAR IT HERE: Head to neighborhood juke joint Tipitina’s (tipitinas.com) to catch regular, locally-loved Cajun and zydeco performances alongside a roster of big-name national acts. Mid City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl (rocknbowl.com) combines bowling and some of the best zydeco, blues and Cajun names from around the state.

ARTIST WE LOVE:

YOU’RE WELL KNOWN FOR PAINTING AT CONCERTS IN REAL TIME, AS THEY HAPPEN. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? I have a term I invented called “acousti-optics.” That’s the relationship between sound waves and color waves, and how the brainwaves digest them. I channel the energy and the vibrancy of the city into my paintings. And wherever I go, it’s still there.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU APPROACH PAINTING MORE LIKE A MUSICIAN THAN AN ARTIST. I try to be really conscious of my timing, just like a band member would practice. When you’re truly jamming

and you’re in the pocket, you make certain brush strokes by chance, and that’s when the magic happens.

WHAT OTHER KINDS OF EVENTS HAVE YOU PAINTED? I’ve painted weddings, football games, charity events, Mardi Gras parades.... I invented a walking easel — a harness where I can march in a second line [parade] and paint at the same time. I was the official team artist for the New Orleans Saints from 2001 to 2007. I painted every home game from the sidelines of the Superdome. I’ve also been doing this live painting thing with ESPN’s Monday Night Football. I love painting in the moment, in the crowd. You’ve got

70,000 people staring at you, and it doesn’t matter what you’re painting, you open your receptors as an artist and you can feel that energy. My favorite thing to do is to donate my paintings to the Tipitina’s Instruments A Comin’ program, because it takes donated instruments and recycles them back into the community, for inner-city school marching bands. It also makes sure that schools can keep their music programs up and running.

WHERE CAN PEOPLE SEE YOUR WORK REGULARLY? I’m a regular at the Maple Leaf Bar on Tuesday nights when the Rebirth Brass Band is performing, and on Thursdays. I have my

gallery in the French Quarter, and my Uptown store is open at night at the same time as Jacques-Imo’s Cafe. Things get rocking there around 10 o’clock. Any given night of the week on Oak Street, you can get food, live music and check out some art at the same time.

YOUR WEBSITE REFERS TO YOU AS A “CULTURAL AMBASSADOR.” WHAT’S THAT ABOUT? Everywhere I go, I share the knowledge of the New Orleans vibe. When I do my paintings in other cities, people are like “Whoa, where did you come from?” I tell them, “visit New Orleans, and you’ll see.” The thing about New Orleans is, ever since it was settled, it’s always

brought in adventurous people. I mean, the only way people used to get here was by boat! And I think the city’s always kept that adventurous vibe.

Inside New Orleans

It’s never been a secret that New Orleans welcomes everyone. We embrace diversity, believe there’s never a bad time to wear a costume or throw a party and encourage everyone in our city to live a life as authentic as our Creole cuisine. For these reasons and more, the city has earned a well-deserved reputation as a haven for equality. It’s even been named one of the world’s best gay cities by American Airlines and GayCities. We invite you to come as you are — just don’t come with a plan. Let this city take you wherever she wants you to go. Read on to discover some of the city’s most LGBT-friendly neighborhoods and events.

Explore the thriving LGBT culture in one of the country’s most colorful cities. Bywater

French Quarter Here you’ll find Café Lafitte in Exile, one of the oldest gay bars in the country. Open since 1953 (and open 24/7), locals and visitors alike can enjoy daily happy hours and a balcony view overlooking Bourbon Street. For a warm and welcoming night out on the town head to Good Friends Bar, a favorite local hangout. Grab a drink, play a game of pool with friends, or join in a piano sing-along. And if you’re feeling up for anything, make your way to Oz, a 24/7 club known for its DJs and late night dancing.

This bohemian, open-minded neighborhood is home to places like The Country Club, a cabana and social club with a tropical flair. Known for its Gulf Coast-inspired fare and events like its “bottomless” mimosa brunch, you can sip cocktails poolside while enjoying the view. If you have a little too much fun the night before, start your day with a refreshing run along the Mississippi in Crescent Park. Then head to Satsuma Café for regional dishes with an artsy flair. Grab a cup of coffee, a fresh-squeezed juice, or a healthy bite to eat and take in the local artwork on the walls. Mismatched tables, exposed brick, and a sunny patio add to the charm.

The Shave at the End of the Galaxy provides the ultimate experience with a luxurious, hot towel shave. To express your creative side, head to Box Paper Scissor, a boutique stationary shop with a vibrant, minimalist edge. You’ll discover designer journals, a luxe selection of papers, letterpress stationary, pens, and other products handpicked for their aesthetic appeal.

Events For a multiday party filled with parades and music, visit during the Southern Decadence Festival, held each Labor Day weekend. It’s the city’s largest LGBT event, nicknamed the “Gay Mardi Gras.” And you can party for a good cause during Halloween New Orleans, a weekend full of exciting galas, elaborate costumes, and other festivities. The proceeds go to Project Lazarus, an assisted living home in New Orleans for men and women living with HIV/AIDS. New Orleans is also the perfect place for your commitment ceremony. Vendors throughout the city, from floral designers to officiants, can help you plan a day you’ll never forget.

FAMILY FUN IN NEW ORLEANS Family fun begins in the Crescent City with kid-friendly adventures that are abundant and diverse, so finding something that everyone will enjoy is easy! Whether you are young or just young at heart, discover family-friendly restaurants, attractions and adventures that the whole crew can enjoy.

EXPLORE Does your family come with big curiosities? Begin your family-style explorations by checking out the four attractions in the French Quarter and Uptown that make up the Audubon Nature Institute. With a zoo, aquarium, IMAX theater and even an insectarium, the institute allows you to spend time getting up close and personal with bugs, exploring ape exhibits, reptile habitats and underwater worlds. Explore the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas’ new Great Maya Reef exhibit to adventure into the submerged Mayan ruins filled with reefs and exotic fish. The kids will love getting beak to cheek with some pretty cute parakeets at the aquarium’s Parakeet Pointe,, an interactive exhibit where you can feed the birds. Join one of City Sightseeing New Orleans’ Hop-on, Hop-off tours for a second-story view of the Big Easy’s most famous neighborhoods. Their open-air double decker buses pick up and drop off visitors every half hour at prime attractions throughout the French Quarter and Garden District. Get the kids outside and onto a swamp tour — one of the best ways to see Louisiana’s wildlife up close. If you don’t get your gator fix while touring the moss-shrouded waterways, head to Insta-Gator Alligator Ranch & Hatchery (home to more than 2,000 alligators) to get an opportunity to hold one. For an adventure of historic proportions, head down the Mississippi on one of New Orleans’ giant paddle wheelers, which cruise from one of America’s busiest ports to sites such as the War of 1812-era Chalmette Battlefield.

12/1/14 12:32 PM

Inside New Orleans If music, art and handcrafted treasures are what excite your family, plan a stop by the historic French Market, a treat for all the senses and free to explore. Next, stroll through the ever-artsy French Quarter, or stop by nearby Dutch Alley, home to the Jazz National Historical Park, where you’ll find live music and programs for kids. Keep the creativity flowing with a visit to Jackson Square, and wander the pedestrian mall to watch artists at work. Magicians, mimes and musicians provide free entertainment nearly every day of the week. Next, take a cab, drive or take the Canal Street streetcar to City Park, where you’ll find one of the South's top art museums, the New Orleans Museum of Art;; it’s home to nearly 40,000 art objects. Outside the museum, more art awaits: you’ll find more than 60 outdoor sculptures at the free Besthoff Sculpture Garden, one of the most important sculpture installations in the U.S. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic of po-boys.

CREATE

Once the kids have found inspiration among the sculptures and paintings, let the little ones make their own masterpiece during a family paint session at Corks N Canvas. For a behind-the-scenes peek at the artistic side of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebrations, drop by Mardi Gras World, where your family can learn about what it takes to build all of the colorful floats that fill the streets during carnival season. Photo ops here abound: get a family pic taken in front of floats, with parade props, or wearing traditional carnival costumes.

LEARN

Get some fresh air with a mule-drawn Royal Carriages tour through the French Quarter. Or take a tour with stories, props and stops geared just for kids with French Quartour Kids.

Nearby, in the heart of the historic Tremé neighborhood, your family will enjoy the New Orleans African American Museum. The museum is closed while undergoing a $6 million renovation, but tours of Tremé, America’s oldest black urban community, are offered in the meantime. In the Warehouse District, Aunt Sally’s Pralines is satisfying sweet tooths and curious minds with in-store tours. Learn about this distinctly New Orleans treat made with buttery pecans, and be sure to get your sample at the end of the tour. Still have a hunger for history? Then head over to the Louisiana State Museum's Cabildo, Presbytere and 1850 House,, located in the heart of Jackson Square. This is the place to learn many of the state’s fascinating, true tales. To round out the learning adventure, head south of town to one of the many plantations that are open to the public. On your plantation tour, you’ll see and hear more about Louisiana history, right where it was made. For a taste of the New Orleans' nightlife, one of the city’s most beloved cultural landmarks is Preservation Hall.. Opened in 1961, this club is dedicated to preserving the legacy of New Orleans jazz. Catch one of the shows playing almost every night and its perfect for families, as it is open to all ages.

PLAY

A favorite for fast-paced families is Mid City Lanes Rock 'n' Bowl. See who can roll strikes and who just can’t keep their ball out of the gutter during a friendly game of bowling.

Another place for endless fun is at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. Here, kids can step inside a giant bubble or explore a cargo ship — it's an exciting way for children to learn while they play! No visit to the French Quarter is complete without a stop at the Musee Conti Wax Museum. Walk among wax figures of some of New Orleans’ most historic characters, all decked out in realistic period costumes. Take some New Orleans flavors back to your kitchen with a lesson from one of the local cooking schools, where adults and kids will learn how to stew up some of New Orleans' favorite Creole dishes. For a relaxed ride through New Orleans history, hop aboard one of the city’s fabled streetcars. Easy and affordable, these stop at some of the Big Easy’s kid-friendliest attractions such as the Audubon Zoo and the French Market. Pick up a $3 one-day Jazzy Pass and ride as often as you like.

Here are a few favorites: After filling up on coffee and beignets at City Park’s Morning Call café, get ready to burn some calories. Love to paddle board (or at least interested in trying it out)? Then stop by the City Park Boat House to rent one. If that’s not your speed, ask about the Boat House’s pedal boats, kayaks, fishing boats and bikes, all for rent at affordable rates. History and architecture buffs will love tours of nearby Bayou St. John, offered by outfitter Kayak-iti-yat. If you’re into lower-impact adventure, stroll through the New Orleans Botanical Garden or go for a spin on the old-school bumper cars,

carousel or Tilt-a-Whirl at Carousel Gardens (open seasonally), whose history dates back more than a century. City Putt is a 36-hole miniature golf complex in the park, and for younger adventurers, Storyland has 25 largerthan-life sculptures depicting classic fairy tale characters. For a true sense of New Orleans’ wild side, explore Couturie Forest. This 60-acre urban jungle is densely packed with native trees and wildlife. It also boasts the city’s highest point — Laborde Mountain — yet at only 43 feet high, you can leave the hiking boots at home!

12/1/14 12:33 PM

Inside New Orleans With casual atmospheres and children’s menus, many New Orleans restaurants are made for fun-loving families. Mulate’s was expertly designed to be the ultimate kidfriendly restaurant: The owners’ daughters weighed in on foods for the made-fromscratch kids menu. After your meal, get dancing: Mulate’s presents live Cajun music nightly, and the dance floor does fill up.

EAT

Cafe Du Monde is a must-taste serving warm beignets (a French donut), chocolate milk and chicory coffee. Take a picture of the family member who gets the most powdered sugar on them. Swing by Deanie’s Seafood in the French Quarter for fried shrimp and crawfish tails, Central Grocery for their tasty (and huge!) muffulettas, Mother’s Restaurant Downtown for their special debris po-boy, or Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for their Cajun shrimp. Dare the family to try something new like the boudin balls or gator bites (fried alligator andouille sausage) at the The Crazy Lobster in the Central Business District. This spirited eatery offers great views of the Mississippi River with live entertainment nightly, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

5 Tips for Families on a Budget 1. COMBINATION PASSES: With the Audubon Experience Package you can visit the Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Entergy IMAX Theatre and Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium for one low price. It’s good for up to 30 days, so there’s no need to rush.

2. SKIP PARKING FEES: With a multi-day Jazzy Pass from the Regional Transit Authority, you can get around by streetcar or bus.

3. PLAN A PICNIC: Grab one of the city’s famously over-sized sandwiches, like a muffuletta or po-boy. They’re big enough to share.

4. FREE FUN: Explore the city with Free Tours by Foot, which offers walking tours and bike tours on a pay-what-you-want system. Find more free fun in the French Quarter, where dozens of street performers, costumed characters and buskers are ready to entertain.

5. SPECIAL DEALS: Check out the coupons in the back of the guide (or online: neworleanscvb.com/visit/ specials-coupons) to find special offers that will help you save on attractions, activities, dining and more.

Stick around for an incredible show after your meal. • Eat at Mr. B’s Bistro, a Brennan family-owned Creole restaurant popular for its jazz brunch and awardwinning lunch menu. • Step into New Orleans’ culinary history at Tujague’s — the restaurant has been serving up great Creole fare since 1856.

THE GIST OF IT: This neighborhood’s canyon of brick warehouses recall New Orleans’ industrial heyday, while the galleries and restaurants that now inhabit them showcase the city’s thriving arts and culinary scenes.

HOW TO GET THERE: From the French Quarter, walk upriver on St. Charles Avenue or Magazine Street. You can also catch the St. Charles streetcar or Magazine Street bus.

STEP ABOARD OUR STREETCARS They are symbols of the city — rumbling relics from New Orleans’ past. Streetcars have been a part of New Orleans’ public transportation since the first half of the 19th century. But in the mid-1900s, buses replaced many of the iconic vehicles. After several decades, our streetcars made a comeback, and now four different lines travel throughout the city, letting you explore for an affordable $1.25 fare (exact change is required). You can also save money by purchasing a Jazzy Pass, which lets you ride the streetcars (and public buses) as much as you’d like during the period it’s active. Find out more by visiting norta.com.

THE ST. CHARLES LINE: As the oldest continuously operating streetcar in the world, the St. Charles Streetcar has earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Hop on for a ride from the edge of the French Quarter to the beautiful Garden District. As you ride through the Garden District, see impressive homes, universities and Audubon Park. THE CANAL STREET LINE: This line spans nearly six miles, beginning at the Mississippi River and running through the Central Business District and into Mid-City, where you’ll find dining and shopping opportunities aplenty. Take this line to get to historic cemeteries and the New Orleans Museum of Art in City Park. THE RIVERFRONT LINE: Climb aboard the Riverfront Streetcar to visit the French Market, Woldenberg Park, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Canal Place and the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. This line connects the French Quarter to the Warehouse District. THE LOYOLA LINE: As New Orleans’ newest streetcar line, the Loyola Streetcar enables travelers arriving by Greyhound bus or Amtrak train to get to Canal Street, where they can transfer to other streetcars and reach French Quarter and CBD hotels and attractions.

Day Trips from New Orleans

WAYS TO DAY-TRIP IT When you plan a trip to New Orleans, it’s easy to set your sights solely on the attractions of the city proper. There are countless gumbos to sample, music venues to visit, historic sites to tour and shops to poke around in. But take our word for it: There are some awesome adventures to be had just a short drive away. Here are some of our favorite ways to go exploring beyond the Big Easy.

Tour the Plantations of River Road Down south of New Orleans is a 70-mile long stretch of highway known as River Road. Here, nestled up against the Mississippi River, you’ll find more than a dozen grand old plantation homes that recall south Louisiana’s history as a centuries-old agricultural powerhouse. This is old Louisiana architecture at its most scenic.

Destrehan Planta

tion ©Richard Sex

ton

Lucky for visitors, many are open to the public. Destrehan Plantation is the closest plantation to New Orleans and oldest in the lower Mississippi Valley. After touring the balcony and well-preserved Creole architecture, be sure to see a craft demonstration: blacksmithing and open hearth cooking are just a couple worth seeing. Laura Plantation offers tours based on former owner Laura Locoul’s 19th-century memoirs, the history of slavery, and plantation life as experienced by Creole women. Any time of year is good for a visit to San Francisco Plantation, especially March, when its arts and crafts-themed Frisco Festival is happening. While you’re there, look for the hand-painted ceilings and decorations that recall plantation life in the years just before the Civil War. Nottoway Plantation is remarkable for its sheer size — it claims to be the South’s largest antebellum mansion — while Oak Alley, with its tunnel of majestic oak tree canopies, can easily claim to have the most photographed front yard of them all. Costumed tour guides tell the story of Southern sugar barons at Houmas House Plantation & Gardens, and at St. Joseph Plantation, you can catch a glimpse of life as it was lived in the 1800s.

Tasty Trips Near New Orleans Because of the distinct culinary traditions and mouthwatering dishes that come from New Orleans, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of spots to find culinary adventures.

Royal Street ends at Canal Street, where you’ll find fashion stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Brooks Brothers and Mignon Faget at The Shops at Canal Place. Up the street you’ll find Meyer the Hatter, which has been providing headwear to New Orleans shoppers since 1894, and men’s specialty store Rubenstein’s. If you visit New Orleans in March, check out New Orleans Fashion Week. This multi-day event brings together fashion experts, designers, models and fans to locations across the city. A short walk along the riverfront will bring you to The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, a recently reopened, renovated shopping paradise that is also the nation’s first upscale outlet center in a downtown setting. Need help making a selection? Consider hiring one of New Orleans’ expert retail consultants.

The Truth About Our Floor – A Symbol For Peace

The mosaic tile floor was installed in 1902. The symbol depicted is an

ancient “Symbol For Peace” dating back more than 10,000 years. It can be found in many places around the world such as; the gates of the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids in Egypt, and ancient Aztec Indian sites. The American Indians also used it. This symbol is sometimes confused with the swastika. It is thought that Hitler took the ancient “Symbol for Peace” and inverted it as an expression of anti-peace. Hitler was actually a teenager when the floor was installed here at Ernst Cafe in 1902.

Our art scene has become one of the most vital and innovative in the nation, from the world class New Orleans Museum of Art to local street vendors at Jackson Square. While New Orleans is home to over 100 galleries, we also have a plethora of museums, antique stores, outdoor markets, specialty shops and more. But the creativity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. Art can be found in every note of jazz and every bite of gumbo. Whatever your passion is, we are ready to paint it, play it, serve it.
