So, to steer clear from the madness, locals made Frenchmen Street in the Marigny their designated “Bourbon Street.”. Chockfull of live jazz bars, restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques and even an outdoor market where local artists sell hip, one-of-a-kind crafts, Frenchmen Street is more laid back than Bourbon—but at only three blocks long (meaning a heavier concentration of partiers) it’s still considerably wild."

"Frenchman Street is just a few blocks away from Bourbon Street but it seems like an entirely different world. The daiquiri stands and “huge ass beer” signs are replaced by jazz clubs and spontaneous street performances. If you’re in the mood for live music then you’ll almost certainly find something to your liking here."

The crispy whole fish with black bean sauce is a winner, ditto the Peking duck, which comes with ten thin crepes for bundling."
