Question
What is a second line and how should I prepare?
Answer
Second lines are a tradition among New Orleans weddings where guests follow the newly weds and a brass band on a parade through the French Quarter. Our second line will be .5 miles (approximately 20 minutes). Your shoes for the evening should be comfortable enough to walk half a mile and then dance the night away. If it looks like it may rain, please bring an umbrella.

Appetizers and desserts will be served along with coffee, craft beer, and a full bar. Please join us on the second floor. An elevator is available.
Question
How do I get around New Orleans?
Answer
The best ways to get around New Orleans are by foot, rideshare, or public transportation. Hotel parking is expensive (generally, $40 a night and up). For getting to and from the airport, Uber/Lyft are available 24/7. Barring a surge, it usually costs $45 one way. Taxis are also available ($36 for 2 ppl and $15 for every add’l person). Once you're in the French Quarter, walking is the best way to explore the neighborhood. If you want to access another part of the city, ridesharing or the streetcar are the best ways to get there.
