The local bar is the Rendon Inn (3 minute walk), not an Inn at all but it's a great Sport's Bar with yummy food and tons of local beers to choose from - if you're lucky you might spot the local parade crew the Krewe of Carrollton, practicing down the street.

Less touristy and busy than Bourbon Street. A bar lined street with lots of live music and fun to be had. Each evening a second line brass band (brass bands that play on the streets of New Orleans) can be found playing for crowds. Such a treat to see such talented musicians playing in such a relaxed environment.

Obviously a must see. Take a day stroll around the French Quarter - make sure you don't miss the Joan of Arc statue on Decateur St. on the way to the French Market - need souvenirs to bring home? This is the spot. Best place to check out art galleries too!
