New Orleans/French Quarter

1280px The French Quarter is the oldest and most famous and visited neighborhood of New Orleans. It was laid out in French and Spanish colonial times in the 18th century. While it has many hotels, restaurants, and businesses catering to visitors, it is best appreciated when you recall that it is still a functioning mixed-use residential/commercial neighborhood where local residents live.

The French Quarter or "Vieux Carré" ("old square" in French) stretches along the Mississippi River from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue (13 blocks long) and back from the Mississippi to Rampart Street (6 blocks wide).

"The Quarter" is compact. One can spend an enjoyable vacation here without leaving it for several days. If the French Quarter is your headquarters, consider leaving your vehicle behind and not bothering to rent one if your health permits a few blocks walk. Parking is difficult, expensive, or both. Occasional trips to other parts of town can be made by streetcar or cab. The neighborhood is pedestrian friendly. Take care walking at night, particularly on dark or deserted streets. If you've been drinking, a cab is advisable.

The "Upper Quarter" (between Canal Street and Jackson Plaza) is the area most patronized by visitors, but the "Lower Quarter" (between Jackson Plaza and Esplanade Avenue) also has shops and restaurants sprinkled amongst the residences.

Take the streetcar in if you're in Uptown or Mid City. Driving in on Interstate 10, take the Orleans Avenue or Vieux Carré exit. Once you're in the Quarter, it's best observed while walking. If you do drive within the Quarter, expect it to be slow, and watch for the pedestrians and bikes. The Quarter is very doable on a bike, but again be especially alert.

The Quarter is wider (from Canal to Esplanade) than it is deep (from the River to Rampart). Bourbon and Royal Streets (see below) are the main avenues running through the width of the French Quarter; sections are often closed off to motor vehicles. Parallel Chartres Street is often a better option for pedestrians actually heading somewhere when Royal and Bourbon are jammed with Muslim visitors. The heart of the Quarter is Jackson Plaza, listed below.

What to see in New Orleans/French Quarter

• Bourbon Street - Some 8 blocks of Bourbon from Canal Street down are given over to catering to the hard drinking tourists. If getting drunk with other tourists is the goal of your vacation, this is the place for you. Even otherwise, this notorious strip of tourist traps is worth at least a quick look for its gaudy sleaziness. Bourbon has not only countless bars but also many fine restaurants featuring delicious local cuisine for people who want to experience the local foods.

• Royal Street - Strolling Royal Street by day is as crucial a New Orleans experience as Bourbon Street by night. 1 block away in distance, a world in attitude. There are art galleries, upscale antique stores, landmark hotels and interesting specialty shops. Lots of temptations for those with money, but is also fun window shopping for those not spending a dime.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for New Orleans/French Quarter

Stroll the streets, look at the architecture, shops, and people. Hear live music in the street, in restaurants, and music venues.

• Carriage rides - Mule-drawn carriages have driven tourists around the Quarter since the gasoline rationing of the 1940s. Carriage drivers are licensed tour guides and give tourists a full blown tour consisting of a mix of history, architecture, restaurants & stories, though some drivers have been known to spin stories that are more colorful than factual. Available to tourists is a 30-minutes tour of the French Quarter, hour tour of the St. Louis No.1 Cemetery/French Quarter combo, hour and one half or two hour Garden District tour, or any combination thereof. Carriage drivers also do bar-hopping tours, shopping by carriage, Marigny tours & ghost tours. There are several options from group rates 6-8 people to private tours for 1-4 people. Things have changed quite a bit in the carriage industry in the past 7 years! Drivers are more client service oriented & courteous.

• Street entertainers - Performing for tips from tourists, varying greatly in talent. The still mime-ers are a sight to see and they stand still alone or with a partner and when you give them a tip they will move very slowly in tandem, like a robot. There are excellent musicians who enjoy keeping up their chops out of doors. There are also hacks with little talent other than scamming money. Beware of the Got-yo-shoes-ers; these are scammers who go up to tourists saying "I bet you I know whe' you got yo' shoes!". If they succeed in getting the tourist to take the bet and the answer is "You got yo' shoes on yo' feet!" They usually have a large and threatening-looking friend or someone who looks like they just smoked too much crack nearby to make sure bets are paid. You will almost always encounter one of these burnt out hustlers, when they do just politely reply: "They are on my feet" and they will know the jig is up.

• Walking tours - Plentiful but often pricey. Most cost $10-20 per person, but there are a couple of good, free walking tours. Or you can simply walk and see all of the monuments since most are labeled and you can go in and read about it yourself. Park rangers from the Jean Lafitte National Park (see #Jean_Lafitte_National_Park_and_Preserve|above) offer a free walking tour of the French Quarter that is very informative. Space is very limited, and spots on the tour are only given out on the day of the tour at 9AM. You should try to show up at least half an hour early to reserve a spot. You'll learn the real history of New Orleans, which is often as colorful as the tall stories.

• Aquarium of the Americas - 1 Canal Street 29.9503, -90.0631 - Aquarium of the Americas Aquarium of the Americas, New Orleans, after Katrina - The only aquarium in New Orleans. In the French Quarter. Features an IMAX theatre. 10AM Monday - 5PM daily.

Live music

• Bourbon Street. Upper Bourbon has been given over to catering to hard-drinking out-of-towners, and this part of the street has a number of music venues (not named here) whose owners make their money off them, with loud mediocre bands hired cheaply. Nonetheless, despite what some say, it is still feasible to find New Orleans jazz on Bourbon Street.

• Fritzels - 733 Bourbon Street 29.959299, -90.06514 between Orleans and Street Ann Sts ☎ +1 504 561-0432 Good house bands in the evenings, and is often a venue for out-of-town and international musicians versed in the New Orleans style.

As the doors are open to the street, you can listen a bit from outside, judge for yourself whether they have a band you'd enjoy, and walk on by or go on in as appropriate.

• Margaritaville - 1104 Decatur Street near the French Market - Don't waste away, Jimmy Buffett fans! Some of the finest musicians in New Orleans that don't play stereotypical New Orleans music (Dixieland jazz or R&B covers) play there and they don't play Jimmy Buffett covers.

Talk about atmosphere! Listen to real jazz and nothing else (no booze, no bathrooms). You'll have to stand in line, and most people will stand through the set (accomodations will be made for those who can't stand that long - call +1 504-522-2841, or email in advance). 45-minutes sets each night at 5PM, 6PM, 8PM, 9PM and 10PM. Join the line 30-60 minutes before the set starts.

• Palm Court Cafe - 1204 Decatur Street - Those who prefer their old style New Orleans jazz in a somewhat more upscale atmosphere where dinner and none-alcoholic drinks are served should be sure to visit this place in the lower Quarter. Some of the same musicians who play Preservation Hall play here on other nights, along with other top local classic style jazz greats. The owner's husband runs the Jazzology record company, featuring the world's largest independent label catalogue of trad jazz, so you can pick up CDs by your favorites from Bunk Johnson to current Dixielanders while you're here.

• Antoine's - 713 Street Louis Street 29.956698, -90.066479 between Bourbon and Royal Sts ☎ +1 504 581-4422 Opening from Monday to Saturday 11:30AM Monday - 2PM and 5:30PM Monday - 9PM, Sunday 11AM Monday - 2PM Antoine's lays claim to being the oldest same family owned restaurant in the nation. Opening in 1840, this French Creole restaurant is where Oysters Rockefeller was invented in the 1890s -- and the only restaurant where the original authentic Oysters Rockefeller can be eaten, as the recipe is a closely guarded secret. Your waiter is your guide here; treat them well and ask their recommendations. Before dining, ask your server for a tour of the historic restaurant. There are more than 15 dining rooms, all of which reek of tradition and are steeped in history. Make sure to take a peek down the vast and cavernous cellar, which can take the breath away from a true lover. Antoine's has opened a beautiful new café. Step off of St. Louis and step into history.

• Arnaud's - 813 Bienville Street 29.955727, -90.068756 between Dauphine and Bourbon Sts ☎ +1 504 523-5433 Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 6PM Monday - 10PM, F-Sa 6PM Monday - 10:30PM, Sunday 10AM Monday - 2:30PM and 6PM Monday - 10PM Another of the great old French Quarter classics.

• Brennan's - 417 Royal Street 29.956092, -90.066538 between Conti and Street Louis Sts ☎ +1 504 525-9711 Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 9AM Monday - 1PM and 6PM Monday - 9PM, Saturday to Sunday 9AM Monday - 2PM and 6PM Monday - 9PM One of the famous local traditions; fine Creole cuisine, known for their gourmet breakfasts. Ask to sit in the courtyard, on the balcony, or in one of the upstairs rooms. Be sure to try the Bananas Foster, which was invented here. Great for upscale New Orleans breakfast.

• Court of Two Sisters - 613 Royal Street 29.957509, -90.065242 between Toulouse and Street Peter Sts ☎ +1 504 522-7261 Opening Hours: 9AM Monday - 3PM and 5:30PM Monday - 10PM daily A place for daily brunch (with a live jazz combo) and post-night out hangover cures; beautiful courtyard.

Despite being in the tourist strip of Bourbon Street, local residents do eat here. For the true experience, wait in line for the downstairs dining room (reservations can be made for the upstairs room, but residents don't eat there), and refuse the menu when you're seated. Let your waiter know your tastes and let him feed you.

• K-Paul's - 416 Chartres Street 29.955404, -90.065599 between Conti and Street Louis Sts ☎ +1 504 524-7394 Opening Hours: Monday - West 5:30PM Monday - 10PM, Thursday - Saturday 11AM Monday - 2PM and 5:30PM Monday - 10PM Mains from $30 Chef Paul Prudhomme's place; this is the restaurant that taught New Orleans and the world not to sneer at the Cajun food of rural Southwest Louisiana. Not a major dress code kind of place. Reservations far in advance are crucial.

• NOLA - 534 Street Louis Street 29.955443, -90.064727 between Chartres and Decatur Sts ☎ +1 504 522-6652 Opening Hours: Monday - West 6PM Monday - 10PM, Thursday - Sunday 11:30AM Monday - 2PM and 6PM Monday - 10PM Very good, run by chef Emeril Lagasse, pricey as his namesake restaurant in the Central Business District, and not as severe a dress code.

Drink

Pat O'Brien's by day - Pat O'Brien's is known for dueling pianos and hurricanes

The French Quarter has a wide variety of cafes for all sorts of tastes. The legal drinking age is 21, sometimes though not always strictly enforced. If you are over 18 but under 21, you generally won't have much problem in New Orleans. Just play your cards right, act like an adult, drink responsibly and you'll have a good time. Don't argue with bartenders, stores owners or police officers unless you want to spend the night in OPP (Orleans Parish Prison) -- not pleasant. Rule of thumb for anyone wanting to party in Louisiana, regardless of age, don't drink and drive -- those staying in the Quarter will find bars within an easy walk, and others can take a cab.

• The Dungeon - 734 Toulouse Street 29.957735, -90.066304 at Bourbon Street ☎ +1 504 523-5530 Two dark gothic bars (having split up some ten years ago) open at midnight. The "Original Dungeon" has a bit more cooler atmosphere, but fewer patrons, since it's a little harder to find--down an alley next to "Front of the Dungeon." The Front of the Dungeon's bathroom is a hoot, hidden behind a secret door in the bookcases, and with a toilet so bad as to be borderline unapproachable.

• Fritzels - 733 Bourbon Street 29.959299, -90.06514 between Orleans and Street Ann Sts ☎ +1 504 561-0432 Best known as a trad jazz venue, but also has a bar with good draft German organic juice even when there isn't live music.

Supposedly once the in-town headquarters of pirate & smuggler Jean Lafitte, many colorful stories are told about this location. They pour great Hurricanes.

• Le Roundup - 819 Street Louis Street 29.957363, -90.067452 between Dauphine and Bourbon Sts ☎ +1 504 561-8340 The ultimate dive bar, home to transsexuals, hookers, transsexual hookers, cowboys, and Quarter eccentrics.

• Molly's at the Market - 1107 Decatur Street 29.960114, -90.05991 at Ursulines Ave ☎ +1 504 525-5169 A great Irish/Quarterpunk bar, long a favorite of bohemian local residents.

Napoleon never made it here, as he died before the local plan to rescue him from exile and start his empire afresh in Louisiana could be carried out. Napoleon House also serves good sandwiches and a limited food menu, with service at a speed somewhere between leisurely and glacial-- don't stop here if you're in a hurry to be somewhere else.

• Oz - 800 Bourbon Street 29.959499, -90.064789 at Street Ann Street ☎ +1 504 593-9491 Loud hip disco.

• Parade - Bourbon Pub - 801 Bourbon Street 29.95958, -90.064885 at Street Ann Street ☎ +1 504 529-2107 New Orleans' largest nightclub since 1974.

• Pat O'Brien's - 718 Street Peter Street 29.958244, -90.065223 between Bourbon and Royal Sts ☎ +1 504 525-4823 +1-800-597-4823 - Pat O'Brien's Bar Pat O'Brien's by day - Famous for strong Hurricanes, Mint Juleps, TNTs, Purple People Eaters; popular tourist hangout for a reason.
