If you take a right on Royal Street right outside our house and walk about 10/15 min. you will hit Frenchman Street. It's the "locals bourbon street" but as its popularity grows the more touristy it becomes. I still HIGHLY recommend checking out the numerous bars and restaurants that have live music daily. Main strip is Frenchman between Esplanade Ave. and Dauphine Streets.

If you are a history buff you must see the WWII museum. It is the official WWII Museum of the US. The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn.
