Magazine Street in New Orleans is one of the south’s most recognized thoroughfares, dating back to the early days of the expansion of the city beyond the original French Quarter. Magazine Street features six miles of a distinctly unique flair. Visually the street offers an abundance of historic buildings from mansions, now housing elegant bed & breakfasts or single family homes; to Victorian row houses, some residential, some art galleries, some local shops; to a renovated bus barn, converted to a neighborhood grocery. Magazine Street is Main Street USA in true New Orleans style, offering an array of experiences with incredible flavor.
In 2017, the Museum was ranked by TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards as the #2 Museum in the United States and #2 in the World. The National WWII Museum, formerly known as The National D-Day Museum, is a military history museum. The museum focuses on the contribution made by the United States to Allied victory in World War II. Founded in 2000, it was later designated by the U.S. Congress as America's official National WWII Museum in 2003.
WARNING: This museum is for mature audiences, so parents be cautioned about subject matter. Not for the faint of heart! Evolving from the controversial Rita Dean art gallery, the Museum of Death was originally located in San Diego’s 1st mortuary- the building itself once owned by Wyatt Earp. Now located in Hollywood, California and New Orleans, Louisiana, the Museum of Death houses the world’s largest collection of serial killer artwork, antique funeral ephemera, mortician and coroners instruments, Manson Family memorabilia, pet death taxidermy, crime scene photographs and so much more! Each location is entirely unique as the museum does not feature any replicas or duplicates of the exhibits or artifacts.
If you want to explore New Orleans like a local, come to Frenchmen Street. Frenchmen Street is great for live music, food and drinks. Think of Frenchmen Street as the more sophisticated older brother to Bourbon—the place to go to enjoy restaurants, bars, and night clubs without all the strip clubs and neon lights.
For the wild at heart!! Bourbon Street is a historic street in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. Extending thirteen blocks from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue, Bourbon Street is famous for its many bars and strip clubs.
