French Quarter
Walk out of the house, turn left-go two blocks and make a right on St Phillip St (at Treme Coffee House). Continue four blocks and Rampart St is the beginning of the Quarter. A 10 minute walk.
If between the hours of 8AM and 6PM, you can enter the park directly across from the house and just walk straight through to reach the French Quarter.
Or, if the gate is open (the lock it at 6pm) right across from the house, walk straight through beautiful Armstrong Park.
