I LOVE the French Quarter. Grab a drink and then - gasp- walk around and check out the shops while you sip away on your daiquiri. Yep, you can take your drink with you around here.

A great mix of character both human and architectural that can easily be walked. Lots of entertainment music,bars and eateries to suit ALL tastes. The French/Spanish history oozes out and just adds to the charm. More
