The French Quarter is the city’s oldest and best-known neighborhood. Most visitors make a beeline to Bourbon Street, and many first-timers think the Quarter is nothing but a party. But there’s a lot more to do here - gorgeous architecture, a ton of history, fabulous antiques, local boutiques, great food, music, and views of the Mississippi. It’s family-friendly too, with the Aquarium of the Americas, the Cabildo Museum, carriage rides, street performers, and more fun for kids. Stay here if you want to be in the middle of it all, with easy access to other neighborhoods.

Downriver from the French Quarter, across Esplanade Avenue, are two of the trendiest neighborhoods in the city, frequently referred to as one continuous neighborhood. The young and the hip are drawn to this area, which is attracting an ever-increasing in-the-know crowd. Hotel chains have yet to invade, but there are several bed and breakfasts and a couple smaller inns to consider. The furthest reaches of Bywater are best accessed with a cab or rideshare, but the energetic can safely walk through the area when there's daylight. You’ll find colorful Creole cottages and historic homes containing small cafes and shops, a few art galleries and hip record stores, and the riverfront Crescent Park. Restaurants are local and casual, with a smattering of vegan-friendly spots along St. Claude Avenue. Bars run the gamut from the classy Three Muses to the divey Hi Ho Lounge. The epicenter is Frenchmen Street; here you’ll find a string of live music venues where you can hear anything from jazz or blues to reggae and rock, or even a brass band performing on a corner. It’s still crowded, but a more unique alternative to the Quarter.

For a real neighborhood adventure away from - but accessible to - the French Quarter, consider Mid-City. Midway between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, it offers easy access to both destinations via streetcar or taxi/rideshare. For the overachievers, the Lafitte Greenway, a 2.6-mile paved trail is a bikeable option to the Quarter. Mid-City is a strong, diverse, local community that’s home to the famous annual Jazz and Heritage Festival. You’ll find an artsy crowd and colorful homes in the Bayou St. John area as well as historic landmarks along Bayou Road. There’s a thriving commercial corridor along Carrollton Avenue and a number of classic bars, restaurants, breweries, and sno-ball stands throughout the neighborhood. Many Mid-City families have been based in the area for generations. If you’re a repeat visitor and want to have a more local experience, Mid-City is a good choice.

Rental Car
If you need full time access to transportation, renting a car may be your best option. Renting a car means you go when you want to go, where you want to go, but you will certainly miss out on a lot of the local flavor, sights and sounds that New Orleans has to offer. For the best price, make sure not to rent your car from the airport locations for any of the major rental car companies. When you rent from the airport locations, you pay additional taxes and fees when compared to renting from one of the ‘neighborhood’ locations.
Also, be prepared for the experience of driving in New Orleans.
