The homes of New Orleans’ rich and famous sit amid ancient oaks and historic streetcars, affirming the Garden District’s reputation as one of the city’s most upscale neighborhoods.
Rest well at one of the B&Bs, upscale hotels, or boutique accommodations in this area.
This area is full of cozy cafés, delicious lunch spots, and fine restaurants. Start your day at Molly’s Rise & Shine or The Chicory House, find local flavors at Audrey Mae’s Heard Dat Kitchen, and enjoy dinner and drinks at Commander’s Palace, GAIA Steakhouse, or Gris-Gris.
Whether it’s wine on the patio or beer at a brewery, there are plenty of options. Visit a sleek hotel lobby bar or sip a cocktail on a balcony overlooking Magazine Street. Toast your day’s adventures at Lula Restaurant Distillery, Ecology Beer Creative, or The Bower.
Magazine Street is among the city’s top shopping spots. Find everything from antique furniture to locally made jewelry. Be sure to swing by The Rink, Piety and Desire Chocolate, and The Garden District Book Shop.
View pretty architecture, then ride the historic St. Charles Avenue streetcar. Ready for fun? Head to The Exchange Pickleball + Bar.
