Fauborg Marigny Gay New Orleans B&B –
Four Blocks from the French Quarter

People often compare New Orleans to San Francisco, Savannah, Charleston, Paris, or Marseilles. It’s not like that at all. The biggest difference? The streets are full of live music year round. You’ve never seen so much “street theater.”

At our gay New Orleans B&B, our most cherished guests come for the wonderful food, music, architecture, history, artists, and writers of the Big Easy, and our French-Caribbean ambiance.

We live in the old French area, as my Creole ancestors did, coming from France and Spain in 1the 1700’s. My mother and father grew up speaking French just a few houses away from us. Our district, Faubourg Marigny, is a quieter version of the adjacent French Quarter – you can actually sleep at night here. It’s a safe, artist/gay residential area with about seventy bed and breakfasts. The city attracts one million visitors each month, so accommodations here book up quickly.

Within a short walk of our New Orleans gay B&B, you’ll enjoy great local restaurants:

* Marigny Brasserie
* Belle Forche’
* Cafe Negril
* Feelings
* Santa Fe
* Marisol
* La Peniche
* Mona’s
* Wasabi
* Adolfo’s
* Santa Fe

And bars:

* Spotted Cat
* Cafe Brasil
* d.b.a.
* Checkpoint Charlie’s
* Phoenix

Not to mention an overabundance of art galleries and antique shops. There’s a Cuban grocery store right across the street, and Jackson Square is just a twenty-minute stroll through the adjacent French Quarter.

Seven Great Places in New Orleans (Outside the French Quarter) – Keep Calm and Wander

Image credit: Anne Ganucheau

It’s hard to think about New Orleans without immediately conjuring images of the French Quarter in your mind. The Big Easy’s historic hub is picture-perfect: Creole-style buildings railed with ornate iron balconies line the streets while roving jazz bands and happy party-goers join in a colorful parade of humanity.

It sounds like a great place to visit, and it is. But Louisiana’s largest city shouldn’t be defined by the 422 acres comprising the French Quarter. 

To show love for the Big Easy’s underhyped hot spots, here’s a look at 7 Great Places in New Orleans – outside the French Quarter – that you should check out the next time you visit. 

Great Places in New Orleans – Audubon Park

You’re committing a grave injustice if you don’t visit lush Audubon Park while in New Orleans. One of the most unique green spaces in the country, the park is filled with hundred-year-old oak trees, expansive lagoons, and beautifully dripping strands of Spanish moss.   

While the scenery is breathtaking—you could easily spend an entire day just relaxing in nature here—John James Audubon’s namesake park offers awesome activities for recreation-seekers.

LA DAUHPHINE: FAUBOURG MARIGNY 4 BLOCKS TO FRENCH QTR

You might have heard people say that New Orleans is like San Francisco, Savannah, Charleston, Paris, or Marseilles. It’s not. The biggest difference is that the streets are exploding with live music all year round. You’ve never seen such “street theater.” Our most cherished visitors come for our food, music, architecture, history, artists, and writers. The ambiance is most like the French Caribbean.

We live in the old French area, much like my Creole ancestors did, coming from France and Spain in 1715 and 1793, respectively. My mother and father grew up speaking French just a few houses away from us. Our district, Faubourg Marigny, is a quieter version of the adjacent French Quarter-the main difference being that you can actually sleep at night here. It’s the safe, artist/gay residential area with about 70 bed and breakfasts. The city attracts one million visitors each month, so accommodations fill up quickly.
