Riding along the scenic St. Charles Streetcar Line into New Orleans’ Garden District reveals distinctly different worlds sharing shade under the same oak trees. Victorian homes with manicured English-style landscaping sit next to rustic, working-class cottages in a stunning collision of lush gardens and diverse cultures. The streetcars, which are officially designated as National Historic Landmarks, connect many of our neighborhoods in exactly the same way they have for more than 150 years, helping our community celebrate all the forms of contrast that seemingly flow freely around this iconic bend in the Mississippi.
Explore one of the world’s most dazzling residential neighborhoods to experience the architectural splendor of the live-oak-tree-lined “American” sector of town, and examine the antebellum-era “Creole vs. American” conflict.

What started out as a neighborhood juke joint in 1977 now hosts the likes of B.B. King.

The Maple Leaf Bar is one of the longest continually operating New Orleans music clubs, with live performances seven nights a week. Maple Leaf has been the location for many members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, as well as other well-known acts, both locally and nationally.

With attention to the smallest detail, this old-school chophouse has a passion for serving the highest-quality steaks.

Veal, fresh fish and lobster dot the menu. Reservations recommended.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the building on the uptown/river corner of Annunciation and Webster has been either a restaurant or a bar—often both—serving the uptown neighbor.

Reservations are recommended.
