New Orleans questions

Is 3 days enough for New Orleans?

Three days works for focused music and food trips if you stay in or near the French Quarter. Use streetcars and rideshares to reach City Park and Tremé without losing time.

Do I need to book jazz venues ahead in New Orleans?

Book Preservation Hall and similar spots online at least one week ahead. Snug Harbor brunch tables fill quickly on weekends and require reservations.

Is it safe to walk in the Tremé and Marigny at night?

Stick to well-lit streets and travel in groups after dark in Tremé. Rideshares are reliable for late returns from brass band venues.

How do I get from the French Quarter to City Park?

Take the Canal Street streetcar line to City Park for under 2 dollars each way. The ride takes about 25 minutes and runs every 15 minutes during daytime hours.
