oysters are a culinary treat.
Ride a Streetcar
The streetcar named Desire no longer runs,
but the city's other vintage streetcars
offer superb, open-air rides through New
Orleans' most elegant districts.
Voodoo
With stops at boutiques selling dolls and
potions, voodoo tours are a bit campy, but
rest assured that the mysterious religion
is still practiced by many in New Orleans
today.
Today voodoo is big business in New Orleans,
with numerous gift shops selling ersatz
gris-gris - pouches carried for good luck,
filled with amulets, charms and herbs -
and exotic voodoo dolls; these can be fun,
but if you're interested in the reality,
you'd do better to head to the Voodoo Spiritual
Temple , 828 N Rampart St (daily 10am-8pm;
tel 504/522-9627), which holds an open service
on Thursday evening and offers tours and
consultations. Visitors are asked to make
a donation.
The Historic Voodoo Museum , 724 Dumaine
St (daily 10am-8pm; $7), is a ragbag collection
of ceremonial objects, paintings and gris-gris
. Its aim, to debunk the myths that surround
this misunderstood religion, is undermined
somewhat by the self-consciously spooky
atmosphere, not to mention its resident
12ft python, crumbling rat heads and desiccated
bats. The gift shop sells gris-gris and
voodoo dolls, while the gallery features
more expensive folk art. Ask about their
readings, rituals and city tours.
The Cities of the Dead
There is no architecture in New Orleans,
except in the cemeteries ?
- Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi
So much of New Orleans is
at, or below, sea level that early settlers
who buried their dead - and there were many
of them - found that during the frequent
flooding great waves of moldy coffins would
float to the surface of the sodden earth.
Eventually, graves began to be placed, Spanish-style,
in above-ground brick and stucco vaults,
surrounded by small fences. These cemeteries
grew to resemble cities, laid out in "streets";
today, as the tombs crumble away amid the
overgrown foliage, they have become atmospheric
in the extreme. The creepiness isn't totally
imaginary, either - though armed muggers,
rather than ghosts, are the danger these
days. You should never venture here alone.
Nearly all the city tours include a trip
around one of the graveyards; some specialize
in them.
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 ,
Washington Ave and Prytania. Built in 1833,
by 1852 - when 2000 yellow fever victims
were buried here - the Garden District cemetery
was filled to capacity. Today it is an eerie
place, with many tombs sinking into the
ground, and some of them slowly opening
in the shadow of tangled trees. It's no
surprise that all this decaying grandeur
should capture the imagination of local
author Anne Rice, who has used the place
in many of her books - she even staged a
mock funeral here, to launch publication
of Memnoch the Devil ; the corpse was herself,
wearing an antique wedding dress, in an
open coffin carried by pall bearers.
St Louis Cemetery No. 1 ,
400 Basin St between Conti and St Louis.
The oldest City of the Dead, dating from
1789, this small graveyard is full of crooked
mausolea jutting into narrow pathways. On
the fringes of the Quarter, it is a regular
stop on the tour bus circuit, and you will
invariably come across a crowd by the tomb
of "voodoo queen" Marie Laveau
, graffitied with brick-dust crosses.
St Louis Cemetery No. 2 ,
200 N Claiborne Ave between Iberville and
St Louis. One of the most desolate Cities
of the Dead, hemmed in between a Tremé
housing project and the interstate. Built
in 1823, it's a prime example of local cemetery
design, with a dead-straight center aisle
lined with grandiose Greek Revival mausolea.
A second Marie Laveau, thought to be the
Marie Laveau's daughter, has a tomb here,
also daubed with red-chalk crosses.
St Louis Cemetery No. 3 ,
3421 Esplanade Ave, Mid-City. A peaceful
burial ground, built in 1856 on the site
of a leper colony, St Louis No. 3 is mostly
used by religious orders; all the priests
of the diocese are buried here, and fragile
angels balance on top of the tombs.
A Haunted House
The striking French Empire
LaLaurie Home , at 1140 Royal St on the
corner with Gov Nicholls, is New Orleans'
most famous haunted house (not open to the
public). In the nineteenth century it belonged
to the LaLauries, a doctor and his socialite
wife Delphine, who, although seen wielding
a whip as she chased a slave girl through
the house to the roof, was merely fined
when the child fell to her death. Whispers
about the couple's cruelty were horribly
verified when neighbors rushed in after
a fire in 1834 - believed to have been started
intentionally by the shackled cook - to
find seven emaciated slaves locked in the
attic. There they saw men, women and children
choked by neck braces, some with broken
limbs; one had a worm-filled hole gouged
out of his cheek. The doctor's protestation
that this torture chamber was, in fact,
an "experiment," met with vitriol;
the next day the pair escaped the baying
mob outside their home, and fled to France.
Since then, many claim to have heard ghostly
moans from the building at night; some say
they have seen a little girl stumble across
the curved balcony beneath the roof.
Tours
New Orleans' image as a Gothic,
vampire-stalked city has really taken off
in recent years, and the choice of tours
promising magic, voodoo, vampires and ghosts
has become dizzying. Among the high-camp,
the overpriced and the plain silly, there
are, nonetheless, a few worth joining. Historic
New Orleans Walking Tours (tel 504/947-2120)
will lead you to St Louis Cemetery No. 1,
Congo Square, Marie Laveau's home, and a
voodoo temple; meet at Café Beignet
, 334 Royal St (Mon-Sat 10am & 1pm,
Sun 10am; 2hr; $15; no reservations; arrive
15min before the tour is due to begin).
Save Our Cemeteries (tel 504/525-3377; call
for meeting points and to reserve) is a
nonprofit restoration organization leading
fascinating tours of Lafayette No. 1 (Mon,
Wed & Fri 10.30am; 1hr; $6) and St Louis
No. 1 (Sun 10am; 1hr 30min; $12). Call for
meeting points and to reserve. Finally,
if you're less worried about authenticity
and more concerned with whooping it up,
consider the New Orleans Ghost and Vampire
Tour , complete with magic tricks and "psychic
demonstrations." Ghost tours leave
from Washington Artillery Park, across Decatur
St from Jackson Square (daily 8pm; around
2hr; $15), while for the cemeteries you
should meet at CC's Coffee House on Royal
and St Philip in the Quarter (Mon-Sat noon,
Sun 10.30am; around 2hr; $15). No reservations
are needed.
There is are variety of tours of New Orleans,
from whistlestop jaunts in air-conditioned
buses to preposterous moonlit ghost-hunts;
stop by the New Orleans Welcome Center to
see the full range.
Walking tours are especially
popular - notwithstanding the possibility
of showers and, in summer, debilitating
heat and humidity. Those led by Le Monde
Creole , stopping at French Quarter sites
featured in the true-life saga of a Creole
family, are superb. They set off from their
store at 624 Royal St (2hr-2hr 30min; Mon-Sat
10.30am & 2.30pm, Sun 10am & 2.30pm;
$17.50; tel 504/568-1801; reservations required).
The Bienville Foundation 's French Quarter
walking tours emphasize "alternative"
history (2hr-2hr 30min; schedules vary;
$18-20; tel 504/945-6789; reservations essential),
while those led by the Jean Lafitte National
Historic Park Service give scholarly and
accessible overviews (1hr 30min; 10.30am;
free; tel 504/589-2636; reservations required).
Collect a pass from the NPS visitor center,
419 Decatur St, after 9am on the day. In
addition, some of their cultural programs
(30-45min; 9.30am, 11.30am, 1.30pm &
3pm) include short, themed strolls around
the Quarter.
If the weather's bad, or too
hot, you may prefer to take a bus tour.
Gray Line (tel 504/569-1401 or 1-800/535-7786)
offers trips around the city (2hr; $23),
to the nearby plantations (4hr-7hr 30min;
$33-45), and the swamps (3hr 15min; $38).
New Orleans Tours (tel 504/592-0560 or 1-800/543-6332)
are similar, but fractionally cheaper.
Many visitors, especially
with kids in tow, take a narrated trot through
the Quarter in one of the mule-drawn carriages
that wait behind Jackson Square on Decatur.
These can be fun, though you should take
the "historic" commentary with
a pinch of salt. Rates range from $10 to
$12 per person for a trip of between 30
and 45 minutes. Another pleasant way to
while away a few hours on a steamy afternoon
is on a river cruise . The Natchez steamboat
is by far the best. Leaving from behind
Jackson Brewery, it heads seven miles or
so downriver before turning back near the
Chalmette battlefield (2hr; daily 11.30am
& 2.30pm; $15.75 or $21.75 with lunch
and live jazz; tel 504/586-8777). The John
James Audubon riverboat allows you to combine
a cruise with a trip to the aquarium or
the zoo, or both. It leaves daily from the
aquarium at 10am, noon, 2pm and 4pm, and
from the zoo an hour later (1hr one-way;
$11.75 one-way, $14.50 round-trip, children
half-price; tel 504/586-8777). The only
boat that stops at Chalmette, site of the
Battle of New Orleans, is the Creole Queen
(10.30am & 2pm; 2hr 30min; $16, $22
with lunch; tel 504/524-0814), which leaves
from the Plaza d'España. Tickets
for all cruises are sold at booths behind
Jackson Brewery and the aquarium.
Fine
Art
At the main entrance to City Park (where
Esplanade Avenue crosses Bayou St. John),
you are greeted by a statue of General P.
G. T. Beauregard. This marks the beginning
of City Park's Lelong Avenue, which leads
to the front of the New Orleans Museum of
Art. The museum has hosted such exhibits
as the Treasures of King Tut, paintings
of the Armand Hammer Collection, the Fabergé
Eggs and the paintings of Claude Monet.
These exhibits had visitors standing in
lines, blocks long. Also impressive is its
permanent art collection.
Botanical
Gardens
To list all of the features and attractions
of City Park would make this feature longer
than what would be practical, but there
is one more worth mentioning. That is City
Park's New Orleans Botanical Gardens. It
is the only botanical garden in Louisiana,
and contains about 2,000 varieties of flowers
and plants. Recently added was the Pavilion
of the Two Sisters, modeled after a traditional
European orangery.

Southern Decadence
More than 33 years old, the happy chaos
known as Southern Decadence has become one
of the gay world's major parties. Tens of
thousands of gay men -- complemented by
far fewer lesbians and hetero folk -- descend
on the French Quarter for a non-stop Labor
Day weekend blowout. This street party wears
heels and accordingly teeters from bar to
bar around the hub of activity at St. Ann
and Bourbon streets.
Founded in 1972 as a going away party for
one Michael Evers, Southern Decadence has
evolved into a tourist attraction know as
'Gay Mardi Gras.' In 2003 the over-the-top
party drew more than 100,000 revelers and
pumped approximately $95 million into the
local economy. Individual bars host theme
parties, contests and some of the most elaborate
drag shows ever staged. There's a guaranteed
action at Bourbon Pub/ Parade, Oz, Lucille's
Golden Lantern. Sunday is the traditional
highlight -- from early in the day, a drag
bonanza forms along Royal Street, reaching
a fever pitch when the annual drag parade
leaves from the infamous Golden Lantern
(on the corner of Royal Street and Barracks
Street) around 2PM. Most revelers, however,
extend the celebration well into Monday
and even Tuesday, enjoying the Quarter's
plentiful bars and restaurants, and admiring
themselves (and each other) at all hours
of the day and night. Early
New Orleans Hotel reservations are advised.

Originally launched to celebrate and preserve
jazz, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Festival (Jazz Fest) embraces genres of
Louisiana music and sounds from around the
globe every April/May. For two weekends,
top-notch performers draw music-loving crowds
to the New Orleans Fair Grounds, while evening
concerts are featured at selected venues
around town. Profits from the festival are
used by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, to
fund ongoing programs that keep the spirit
of jazz alive in the Big Easy.
Official Web Site www.nojazzfest.com
While the big draw is the music, there
are plenty of other attractions to keep
festivalgoers happy. At the many food booths,
mouthwatering gumbo, tender crawfish and
even exotic fare like alligator pie are
on hand, as well as kids' treats and vegetarian
meals. The culture of the bayou is also
highlighted at a variety of craft demonstrations
that feature Native American arts and music
and cultural experiences from the African
Diaspora. Little ones can join in the fun,
too, with performances and activities especially
for the kids.

Voodoo Music Experience
What started in 1999 as a daylong music
event has expanded into a three-day modern
rock and hip-hop "experience"
held at New Orleans' City Park at the end
of October. Think of it as a slightly more
mainstream Lollapalooza or a Jazz Fest for
the piercings-and-tattoos crowd. Attendance
is around the 100,000 mark for the more
than 80 top rock and rap acts. Past performers
include the White Stripes, 50 Cent, John
Mayer, Eminem, Ludacris, Marilyn Manson,
Paul Oakenfold and Smile Empty Soul. Like
similar events around the country (Coachella,
Bonnaroo), Voodoo prides itself on its eclectic
lineup, meaning that jam-band and techno
fans will find much to celebrate here. Similar
to Jazz Fest, Voodoo features several stand-alone
concerts in various venues. around the French
Quarter; sponsored by the House of Blues,
Voodoo After Dark helps keep the musical
party going into the wee hours. Expect there
to be dozens of vendors present at the main
site, not to mention several DJs in the
Techno Tent -- and, supposedly, actual voudoun
rituals. Early

State Farm Bayou Classic
The yearly matchup between Louisiana rivals
Grambling and Southern in November is much
more than just a football game -- it is
an event that draws thousands of college
students and other fans to New Orleans to
hang out, party and show their school spirit.
Over the last several years, this black
college football game has been a compelling
offensive juggernaut, with both teams trading
touchdowns like demented stockbrokers unloading
bonds. However, this is a game in which
the records of the teams coming in are pretty
much irrelevant, as the rivalry is so strong
that crazy upsets often happen. The Bayou
Classic has arguably the best halftime show
in football; both schools feature outstanding
bands that march, strut and play in a ridiculously
funky fashion. Many folks consider the halftime
band matchup the highlight of the game.
In addition to Saturday's game, a Friday
night Battle of the Bands is the time for
the bands to shine, and the accompanying
Greek show features skits and singing from
traditionally black Greek organizations
across Louisiana. Also on Friday, a Super
Job Fair at the French Market Exhibition
Hall in the Hyatt Regency is what it claims
to be, a job fair filled with a variety
of employers seeking to connect with the
student bodies of Grambling and Southern.
Participants are encouraged to bring several
up-to-date resumes and to be sure to dress
for success.

Satchmo SummerFest: Louis Armstrong Celebration
Now in its fourth year, this summer festival
offers a great sampling of local jazz at
stages scattered all over the Quarter. Held
in honor of jazz great Louis "Satchmo"
Armstrong, it features educational seminars,
exhibits and most importantly, some of the
best live music around.

the Old U.S. Mint will feature discussions
and presentations about the life of Satchmo
by local musicians and jazz historians.
There will also be an exhibit of rare Louis
Armstrong images, many of them never before
seen by the public. This year would have
been Satchmo's 103rd birthday.
The real action is on the streets and various
stages scattered around the French Quarter.
There will be performances by such artists
as ReBirth Brass Band, Dr. Michael White's
Original Liberty Jazz Band, Maurice Brown,
Troy Andrews, Jeremy Davenport, Kermit Ruffins,
Ellis Marsalis and Storyville Stompers Brass
Band. Impromptu second lines will weave
in and out of the Quarter throughout the
festival so keep an eye out.
Finally, no event in New Orleans would
be complete without a large sampling of
delicious food. Vendors will be scattered
throughout the festival serving everything
from gumbo and jambalaya to shrimp po-boys
and beignets. When the sun sets on Friday
night, the party heads to Frenchmen Street
for the Club Strut.

Essence Music Festival
New Orleans gets grooving in a major way
when the Essence Music Festival takes over
the Louisiana Superdome every July. The
festival bills itself as the largest gathering
of African-Americans in the United States,
which is a hard claim to dispute: It's certainly
the biggest national black musical event
of the year, doing for contemporary urban
sounds what the Jazz and Heritage Festival
does for roots music. Look for the some
of the biggest names in music to be here
for nighttime concerts (past performers
include Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Patti
LaBelle and Ashanti, to name just a few).
In addition to the main acts, the festival
hosts musicians of slightly smaller, but
no less impressive, commercial stature:
both up-and-coming black artists and respected
veterans of the R&B scene. During the
day, a marketplace and empowerment seminars
are held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention
Center. Created by the magazine of the same
name, the Essence Music Fest has become
a blowout of epic proportions, further securing
New Orleans' place on the map of American
music.
Early
New Orleans Essence Music Festival Hotel
reservations are advised.
Tennessee
Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival
What began 19 years ago as a struggling,
local literary festival has blossomed into
an internationally renowned weekend of literature,
theatre, art, conversation and sheer entertainment
held every March. Tennessee Williams remains
one of the would-be patron saints of New
Orleans culture, and an annual celebration
of his contributions to the world is honored
and widely attended. Writers, agents, budding
authors, playwrights, actors, producers
and others all gather in the French Quarter
for a series of master classes, stage performances,
panel discussions, book signings, walking
tours and even a 'Stella!' yelling contest
in Jackson Square. The crowd gets bigger
every year.
Early Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary
Festival Hotel reservations are advised.
The Tennessee Williams/New Orleans
Literary Festival is a non-profit, tax-exempt
organization. Contributions are deductible
according to the provision of current tax
laws.
Festival program and schedule are subject
to change. Theater seating and space on
walking tours is limited, and advance reservations
are recommended. Payment in full is required
to hold reservations.
All ticket sales are final. Absolutely
no refunds or exchanges will be made. Because
of variations in attendance, the purchase
of a Festival panel pass cannot guarantee
seating for every panel discussion. Seating
is on a firstcome, first-served basis, but
is generally available.

Orleans Historical Interest
Louisiana State Museum
504.568.6968
The Louisiana State Museum is dedicated
to the preservation of the history and heritage
of Louisiana. The State Museum includes
several historic buildings and museums all
located in the French Quarter. The price
of admission is $4 for Adults, $3 for Seniors
and children under 12 are admitted free.
Admission allows entry to the following
museum buildings.
New Orleans Museum of Art
The New Orleans Museum of Art is located
in City Park, in the heart of New Orleans.
The New Orleans Museum of Art, the city's
oldest fine arts institution, has a magnificent
permanent collection of more than 40,000
objects, valued in excess of $200 million.
The collection, noted for its extraordinary
strengths in French and American art,
photography, glass, African and Japanese
works, continues to grow. The five-acre
Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden
at NOMA is one of the most important sculpture
installations in the United States, with
50 sculptures situated on a beautifully
landscaped site amongst meandering footpaths,
reflecting lagoons, Spanish moss-laden
200-year-old live oaks, mature pines,
magnolias, camellias, and pedestrian bridges.
One of the truly unique features of the
permanent collection is the work of Peter
Carl Fabergé [1846-1920], the master
jeweler to the last czars of Russia. On
extended loan from the Matilda Geddings
Gray Foundation and installed in a specially-designed
gallery, the Fabergé collection
features three of the extraordinary Imperial
Easter Eggs as well as the famous jeweled
Imperial Lilies-of-the-Valley Basket,
created in 1896 for the Empress Alexandra
Feodorovna.
As it has for 90 years, the New Orleans
Museum of Art continues to be a gathering
place for all those seeking to share the
beauty of this extraordinary collection
or world art and learn from it. NOMA engages,
educates and enriches the diverse populations
within, and drawn to, the New Orleans
area.
The Cabildo
701 Chartres Street - Jackson Square
In 1988, the Cabildo nearly
burned to the ground. After an extensive,
five year renovation, the Cabildo has been
restored to its former glory.
The Spanish constructed the Cabildo in 1795
to house the spanish colonial city council.
In 1803, the documents transferring the
Lousiana Purchase Territories from France
to the United States were signed in this
very building. After the signing of the
Lousiana Purchase, the Cabildo was transformed
into the City Council of New Orleans.
In its long history, the Cabildo has served
the city in many ways. From 1853 to 1910,
the Cabildo housed the Supreme Court of
Louisiana. Since 1911 theCabildo has operated
as the Louisana State Museum.
The 1850 House - Lower Pontalba Building
Jackson Square. This museum is kind of hard
to find. It's located right in the middle
of the line of row houses facing Jackson
Square. The 1850 House features exhibits
depicting the daily life of New Orleans
Creole home during the 1850s.
The Old U.S. Mint
400 Esplanade Avenue
This building found at the corner of Decatur
and Esplanade, near the French Market, was
erectedin 1835 as a branch of the United
States Mint. The Mint once turned out coin
at a rate of $5 million a month. The Mint
operated from 1838 to 1862. During the Civil
War, the Mint was captured and used to coin
confederate currency. When federal forces
captured New Orleans in 1862, William B.
Mumford was hanged in front of the Mint
for tearing down the United States flag.
After the Civil War, the Mint was put back
into operation from 1879 to 1910.
When the Mint ceased operating,
it remained a vacant property until 1932
when the United States Coast Guard moved
in and used the building as a federal prison.
Today the Mint houses a restored "Desire"
street car and a Mardi Gras &Jazz museum.
Louisiana Children's Museum
428 Julia Street - (504) 523-1357
The kids will love this "hands on"
museum. Featured are exhibits that teach
everything from fitness to physics in creative
and very amusing ways.
Open Tuesday - Saturday 9:30 a.m. - 5:30
p.m. Sunday noon - 5:30 p.m.Admission is
$4
National D-Day Museum
945 Magazine St.
New Orleans, LA 70130
504-527-6012
One word describes this impressive
museum: ''Wow.'' Allow yourself at least
a half-day to view three floors of exhibits.
Located in a circa-1850 building that once
housed a brewery, the National D-Day Museum
opened June 6, 2000 -- exactly 56 years
after the Allied invasion of Normandy. The
museum was dedicated by historian/author
Stephen Ambrose. Also attending the unveiling
were Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks of 'Saving
Private Ryan.'
The museum's cavernous main
level features WWII vehicles, including
autos belonging to Nazi officers. An introductory
video runs continuously in a bivouac tent.
Then proceed to a presentation of 'D-Day
Remembered.' The 48-minute documentary is
shown on the half-hour.
On the second floor, exhibits
chronicle events leading up to WWII. The
United States was ill- prepared for conflict;
in the 1930s we had only 635,000 military
personnel compared to Germany and Japan's
4.5 million each. That changed after Japan
bombed Pearl Harbor (shown in another film
clip). Don't miss the draft of President
Roosevelt's legendary "Day of Infamy"
address, with penciled notes and crossed-out
words. You may also hear tapes of veterans'
personal accounts.
Chalmette Battlefield
Lafitte National Historical Park
New Orleans, LA 70043
504-281-0510
Not too far from downtown New Orleans is
the Chalmette Battlefield. On Jan. 8, 1815,
the Battle of New Orleans took place at
this location. Any good New Orleans citizen
can tell you about how Andrew Jackson led
a small army to overtake 2,000 British soldiers
in a battle that reportedly took about two
hours. An important section of this sacred
battlefield is the Chalmette National Cemetery.
The cemetery was established in May 1964
as a final resting place for the Union soldiers
who were killed in Louisiana during the
Civil War. Aside from the Civil War soldiers,
the National Cemetery also serves as the
final resting place for many other veterans
who served in wars throughout history. There
are soldiers here who fought in the Spanish-American
War, World Wars I and II, and Vietnam. This
historical site is run by the National Park
Service and is open to the public free of
charge. A self-guided walking tour is about
1.5 miles long.
Louisiana State Museum -
The Presbytere
751 Chartres St.
New Orleans, LA 70116
504-568-6968
The Presbytere is a historic Spanish building
located next door to the famous St. Louis
Cathedral in Jackson Square. This building
once provided housing for the priests who
served in the Cathedral. Now, this museum
houses many exhibits concerning life in
Louisiana. One of the most interesting pieces
on display is actually outside the building
in the courtyard. The Pioneer, as it is
named, is the first submarine used by the
Confederacy during the Civil War. This curious
looking metal hull is certainly a sight
to see. This Spanish Colonial building now
houses the State's collection of paintings,
art, and historic photographs.
Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery
5100 Pontchartrain Blvd.
New Orleans, LA 70124
504-486-6331
More so than any city this side of Paris,
New Orleans is renowned for its historically
significant and ornate necropolises. One
of the parish's most unique "Cities
of the Dead" is the eerily beautiful
and diverse Metairie Cemetery. Built over
the old Metairie Race Course, the cemetery
was founded by Charles T. Howard. According
to legend, when Howard was not allowed to
join the country club that owned the track,
he vowed it would become a cemetery. (His
tomb -- with a marble figure of an old man
with his finger to his lips upon it -- is
located on Central Ave.)
Many other famous Louisianans are interred
here, in structures ranging from Gothic
crypts to Romanesque mausoleums to Egyptian
pyramids.
Free audiotapes for walking
or driving tours can be obtained at the
front gate.
Washington Square Park
Frenchman and Royal streets
New Orleans, LA 70152
Tucked out of the way between Jackson Street
and the levee, many people would miss Washington
Park if they didn't keep their eyes peeled
for it. But this is actually a superb spot
to snap a few photos of the mighty Mississippi
on one end and the stunning historic Jackson
Square on the other. Washington Park, originally
named Founders Park, was renamed in honor
of one of the oldest military units in the
nation -- the Washington 141st Artillery
which has engaged in nearly every battle
since the 1845 Mexican War. Lundi Gras revelers
are also found partying at this locale prior
to the big Mardi Gras celebrations. Visitors
appreciate the information booth stocked
with maps and a friendly knowledgeable local,
while folks with little ones in tow spend
a lazy summer afternoon entertaining their
tykes on the park's playground equipment.
Before you leave, pose for a photo or two
with the Civil War cannon which stands as
the park's focal point.

Phunny
Phorty Phellows Web Site
The Phunny Phorty Phellows first
appeared on Fat Tuesday, 1878,
when they began the tradition
of following the Rex parade. Since
that time, the Phunny Phorty Phellows
have made distinguished themselves
as one of the liveliest additions
to Mardi Gras with their hijinks
and well-meaning mockery of the
day’s events (one 1881 float
depicted Rex’s traditional
symbol, the Boeuf Gras, as a heifer).
The original Phunny Phorty ceased
parading and ultimately disbanded
in 1885.In 1981, 83 years after
their predecessors’ last
parade, a new group of Phellows
emerged to revive the irreverent
tradition as members of the Krewe
of Clones (the impetus of today’s
wildly ribald Krewe du Vieux).
