Only 6 blocks from the house on Canal Street, Church Alley offers good coffee & pastries. It's a good place to chill and plan your day - hop on the streetcar afterward and head downtown or to City Park.

5 miles from my house in Uptown New Orleans, Audubon is not as large as City Park but absolutely worth the visit. Bordered on one side by the Mississippi River and on the other by St. Charles Avenue, directly across from Tulane University and Loyola University.

Music has always been integral to daily life in New Orleans, and its landmarks can blend into its neighborhoods. The history of the city’s music, and its outsized influence in popular music everywhere, can be traced to creole cottages, parlors, churches, and street corners as well as concert halls and auditoriums. Some are still active; others have been transformed or demolished. A Closer Walk highlights and contextualizes these sites, to advocate for their future, to celebrate their memory, and to honor the men and women who have shared their music with us.

1924 Spanish Colonial style warehouse and an attached circa-1940 seafood processing factory sat blighted and vacant for nearly 10 years. Today it has been renovated into a 4-screen movie theater. The project has been “revitalizing to the Mid-City and Treme neighborhoods.
*Bonus - this cinema has a bar.
