Be sure to check out one of the many street and art fairs as well as free music festivals. Mardi Gras, Jazz and Heritage Fest, Red Dress Run and Running of the Bulls and many many more.

Restaurant in the French Quarter to visit for wonderful unique food and a spectacular drink menu: Green Goddess (307 Exchange Place). I used this guide to book my hotel and chose the St. James hotel-- sadly, I had to relocate (to the Lafayette Hotel on St Charles St in the Central Business District-- it was great). The St. James was quaint but filthy. If you are looking for a boutique hotel that is not a chain, I would recommend the equally charming but much cleaner Lafayette Hotel. Similar prices, way cleaner. Thanks for suggesting Perch home on Magazine-- it was my favourite stop!! Hi all,

My husband and I are local to the area and love to stay there when we hit NOLA for a weekend. Cafe Degas on Esplanade is also a must eat place! A great add to your boutique hotel list is Loft 529.

Looking for a small space, within an antique mall, to sell my "stuff". I've had successful shops in Savannah & Atlanta. Any advise would be so great! I’m soon re-locating to NOLA!
