Best Street Markets in Edgard

"When people talk about Frenchmen Street they normally mean the three-block stretch through Faubourg Marigny that has ascended the throne as the best place for live music in New Orleans. Traced by charming Creole cottages and hopping into the early hours, Frenchmen Street became a local cultural zone after Bourbon Street became a tourist honeypot in the 1980s. The Maison, d.b.a., the Blue Nile, the Spotted Cat and Snug Harbor are just a few of the venues here, interspersed with bars, restaurants, coffee shops and enticing stores."

"Experience Live Jazz on Frenchmen Street End your night on Frenchmen Street, one of the best spots to hang out in New Orleans. Almost every local we talked to told us to head over to Frenchmen for tons of options for live jazz music every night. We were even told by a local that Frenchmen was what Bourbon Street used to be like before it became the big neon party destination it is now for tourists."

"Instead, head to the live music clubs on Frenchmen Street. It’s actually close enough to Bourbon Street to walk. And, while Frenchmen Street goes for several blocks, between Decatur and Chartres Streets there’s enough music, food, and drink to have you booking your next trip to New Orleans!"
