Go to Frenchmen Street for Music

Explore Magazine Street
For a more local shopping and dining experience, stroll the six miles of Magazine Street, lined with boutiques, antique shops, and fine restaurants.
Let Yourself Go (Laissez les bons temps rouler)
The town's unofficial phrase is 'let the good times roll.' The local culture is relaxed and hedonistic. Don't rush, enjoy the moment.
You can drink on the street
It is legal to consume alcoholic beverages on the street, as long as they are in a plastic cup or 'go-cup'. No glass bottles or cans allowed.
Hydrate and Protect Yourself from the Sun
The heat and humidity can be intense. Drink plenty of water, use sunscreen, and seek shade during the hottest hours of the day.
Use Mosquito Repellent
Especially if you plan to visit the parks or take a tour of the swamps, mosquito repellent is your friend.
Stay in Lighted and Busy Areas
At night, stick to the main, well-lit streets of the French Quarter or Frenchmen Street. Avoid walking alone on dark or unknown streets.
Beware of Common Scams
Beware of the 'I bet I can tell you where you got your shoes' scam, where they clean your shoes and then demand an exorbitant payment.
