Washington Square Park
700 Elysian Fields Ave, , New Orleans, 70117-8512, Louisiana
A beautiful park, dating back to the early 1800's, lined with Louisiana's majestic oak trees is where we get to know one another. Located right next to Frenchmen Street, where our best music clubs are, we will orient you to the city and to the deep history that will give to the context to make the rest of the stories you hear make sense.
And a great place to bike a practice lap if it's been awhile.
15 minutes
Faubourg Marigny
, , New Orleans, Louisiana
The sight is the old Creole neighborhoods themselves. The Marigny is the oldest of the 'suburbs' surrounding the French Quarter, and we get the feeling from the streets and people as we bike slowly through the quiet streets.
Dating back 200 years with architecture and vibes that try to remain the same despite the modern world coming at us, this is where the people who play your music and cook your great food live.
A very local area that all are welcome in.
1 hour, 30 minutes
Bywater Historic District
, , New Orleans, 70117, Louisiana
Besides the beauty of the neighborhood itself, we will have stops at a few places important to us that explain who we are. We will see the spot of the nation changing Plessy vs Ferguson case, the levee wall and Missisppi River, and examples of local art and spots where our favorite music comes from.
These neighborhoods are all changing before our eyes, we embrace both the past and present with y'all, because both are pretty amazing.
1 hour
Marie's Bar and Kitchen
2483 Burgundy St, New Orleans, LA 70117, USA
Our drink and relaxation stop.
A neighborhood tavern that dates back to the 1930's and that we go back a long way with in the neighborhood.
A great place to enjoy the outdoor tables along the old street and ask anything still on your mind while enjoying a drink, or not...whatever you like.
We have the music schedules handy and all the food recommendations you can swallow.
Conversations with everyone at Marie's is how we live, if you like us you will love this spot.
Drink not included in the price of the tour.
