The French connection – drive your rental car through the French Quarter of New Orleans
Driving your rental car to the French Quarter, New Orleans’ oldest district, should be at the top of every visitor’s list. As well as countless examples of stunning 19th century architecture (don’t miss LaBranche House), you’ll also find the French Market, Jackson Square, the Old Ursuline Convent Museum, Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo, St. Louis cathedral, antique stores, numerous dining options and some of the best people watching anywhere.
The French Quarter is also home to some of New Orleans’s oldest and finest French Creole restaurants. Broussard’s is celebrating its 100th anniversary while Galatoire’s has been open since 1840 and Arnaud’s since 1918. Enjoy elegant courtyard dining and Oysters Rockefeller at Antoine’s, Bananas Foster at Brennan’s, delicious beignets (a square piece of dough, fried and covered with powdered sugar) at the Café du Monde coffee stand on the waterfront, and a legendary Po’ Boy sandwich at Mahony’s Po-Boys & Seafood. Bon appetit!
Enjoy your stay in New Orleans!
As the sun sets and swallows begin to swoop above the outdoor street musicians and fortune tellers on Jackson Square, you’re probably ready to enjoy a well-deserved sundowner and you’ll certainly be spoilt for choice when it comes to drinking venues. All-time favorites include Pat O’Brian’s, home of the famous hurricane cocktail and dueling pianos, the spinning Carousel Bar (the bar spins, not your head!) and Jean Lafitte’s Old Absinthe House, originator of the Absinthe Frappe. Interesting fact: New Orleans is the only city in the US with an open container law meaning you can drink alcohol in the streets in the French Quarter.
But no trip to the Big Easy would be complete without taking in some live music. Music is the city’s beating heart and it has produced such greats as Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Fats Domino, and Harry Connick Jr. to name but a few. From the intimate and upscale Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro, the atmospheric Saenger Theatre or the historic Preservation Hall, your toes are sure to be tapping!
See you soon in New Orleans!
