Garden District

Most college kids and quite a few yuppies can be found in the Garden District and Uptown neighborhoods, just a streetcar ride away from the French Quarter. At $1.25 per ride, the streetcar is its own tour: you’ll view stately mansions new and old, Tulane, Loyola, Audubon Park, and countless restaurants, bars, and shops. Or if you are looking for an experience that’s a little less traditional, veer off the streetcar line toward the river to Magazine Street, which spans for six of the funkiest miles in America.
