The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Bywater District, Louisiana (LA)
Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

Theres a small room just off the altar at St. Roch (who was the patron saint of plague victims) where supplicants leave their part or piece thats been healed, supposedly by the saint. Theres a bizarre collection of such items as eyeballs, crutches, false limbs and organs.

This is an interesting example of a New Orleans cemetery where the remains are interred in vaults above ground because of the high water table. Someone in our group asked the guide why most of the vaults contain the remains of hundreds of individuals. He said sorry to be morbidly detailed but the high temperatures promote rapid decomposition of the bodies and they don’t take up much room.

The was my 6th time to New Orleans. I can't believe I haven't heard of this neighborhood sooner. Walking distance from the Quarter. Head to Frenchman's Street in the "Mar-In-Nee" You will love it.

I've been shopping at this magical store since it was over on Piety st! I've always felt warm and welcomed. The products are unique (you really have to check them out)! I've had readings done by Sallie ~~ They have facilitated me on my path in life and I am truly grateful! A fine store indeed!!

7. Villalobos Pitbull Rescue Center

Visiting Villalobos made me want to adopt all the dogs. It was so sad to see them in cages. Some of them have been there for years, but they are all well taken care of at the rescue. The tour was very informative and it raises awareness for pitbulls and the other dogs they have taken in. The staff was really great and the kisses and snuggles feom the dogs (through the cages) were heartwarming. Ask about the dog walking if you want a more up-close and personal experience with the dogs.

Located in an historic building completely refurbished after Hurricane Katrina -- it used to be a po-boy shop with GREAT sandwiches and the place you went to get turtles for your turtle soup recipe. Now it's open, modern, airy and bright. Many food vendors offering a variety of choices -- fresh juices and smoothies, coffee, chicken many different ways, Latin fresh-Mex, Asian (good assortment and Pho, seafood and more! The "more" is a full service bar. Place your order, select a seat, enjoy your meal .. great for solo diners, small groups and families. Outdoor seating is great when the weather is nice ... Good mix of locals and tourists.

We went at night, I thought someone was playing, but instead he was hanging out around the instruments. It was very well lite and walking around climbing on things was not problem. It wouldn't be good on a muddy day or a wheelchair bound person. We had so much fun playing all the different wacky instruments, who would have know that lids to a pot would sound so great? We didn't have any problems with our GPS finding this place, but it is off the beaten path. We told so many folks about this place. Kids of all ages were having a blast. We got a drink and walked around enjoying watching and playing all the fun instruments. Go and have some fun.
