Sitting pretty across the Mississippi River from the
rambunctious French Quarter, the Crescent City’s
second oldest neighborhood is as historic and as
scenic as any – just a lot less showy about it. With
its numerous 19th and early 20th century homes and
plentiful parks and riverside green space for cycling
and walking, subdued and low key Algiers yields the
best views of New Orleans and offers a quiet haven
...More
from the hustle and bustle in other parts of town.
Most of the area’s activity, for visitors anyway,
takes place at Algiers Point where the famous Canal
Street / Algiers Ferry has been the main attraction
since 1827 and is still giving folks one of the best
rides in town at very affordable rates. Restaurants,
bars and music venues here all but guarantee the
utmost of authentic experiences sans any hype or high
prices.
