New Orleans Historic
Voodoo Museum
No one grows up in New
Orleans without Voodoo. In
the case of Charles Massicot
Gandolfo, the museum’s
founder, this fact was all the
more intensified by the tales
from his grandmother that her
great-grandfather had been
raised in New Orleans by a
Voodoo Queen. An artist, with
a passion for all the history
and romance of New Orleans,
he created the Voodoo
Museum to share his
fascination with the world.

Backstreet
Cultural Museum
Located in the Treme section,
the oldest African-American
neighborhood in the United
States, is the Backstreet
Cultural Museum where you’ll
find an amazing assortment
of memorabilia indigenous to
Mardi Gras, jazz funerals and
other traditions found only in
New Orleans.

away while sipping on some

Spotted Cat
Music Club
Great music and inexpensive
drinks make this Frenchman
St. spot a favorite of locals
and travelers alike. On any
given night catch two sets of
blues, jazz, latin, or any of
their various permutations.
The space is small and the
energy is contagious—it can
get packed, but it's all part of
the experience.

Carousel Bar
The famous Carousel Bar &
Lounge in Hotel Monteleone
is a long-time favorite New
Orleans hotspot. The classic
New Orleans hotel bar is the
city’s only revolving bar. For
decades, it has lured guests
in to take a spin on the 25seat, bright, circus-clad
Merry-Go-Round. This year,
Vogue Living named the bar
one of the Top 20 Bars in the
World, due in equal parts to
the whimsical revolving
carousel and comprehensive
list of cocktails.

French Market
Reminiscent of some
European markets, this openair mall features shopping,
dining and music in a
tradition that is uniquely New
Orleans. From Café du
Monde near Jackson Square
to the market at the end of
Esplanade Avenue, there are
five blocks of specialty retail
shops and a community flea
market with locally-made
jewelry, clothing and art.

St. Louis
Cemetery #1
St. Louis #1, ‘The City of the
Dead’, is just blocks away
from the French Quarter.
Made famous by the 1969
movie Easy Rider, it is the
oldest active cemetery in
New Orleans. The cemetery
contains a labyrinth of tombs,
unique to most in the U.S.,
which hold the remains of
some of the city’s important
historical figures, including,
as legend would have it,
Voodoo Priestess Marie
Laveau.

Faubourg Marigny
Faubourg Marigny developed
as New Orleans’ second
suburb in 1806 and was the
first historic zoning since the
Vieux Carre. Marigny is on the
beaten path for New
Orleaninas and visitors
looking for great music, fine
food, and an authentic,
historic neighborhood. When
you have seen and heard
enough of Bourbon Street
experience life in New
Orleans the way the locals
do.
