Mardi Gras Note (advice): If you are intending to enjoy Mardi Gras in New Orleans, I would advise you to come Thursday till at least Monday, if not also Fat Tuesday itself. There are "Super Krewes" that have parades throughout the major weekend of Mardi Gras, and those start on Thursday with Muses. Also, as Thursday still somewhat functions as a "work day" during Mardi Gras for locals, there are fewer parades to disrupt traffic flows, pedestrian traffic, etc. and getting into town, settled, and ready for the main event is just simply easier and more pleasant. Furthermore, you can wake up Friday and be ready for whatever you want to do, instead of traveling into town through all the partying and parade driven traffic that lasts into the night. Finally, staying through Monday is a must, at a minimum, as there are several GREAT parades (Bachus) on Sunday you don't want to miss, plus Orpheus on Monday evening. Tuesday is a more "traditional" and "formal" day of parades, which are in and of themselves interesting and part of New Orleans history (Zulu and Rex), but I will say they are not quite as fun as all the others through Monday, so it makes for a great day to travel home. Just my two cents of advise for those who haven't been before and want to "do it right".
There is a parking garage diagonally across the street above the CVS which is managed by Premium Parking and has security, cameras, elevators, and electric chargers if needed. Rate and additional information can be found on Premium Parkings website and app (of the same name) and using P-373 as the garage number on their system.
Guest interactionI live on an upper floor, so easy to assist as needed, or completely unseen if not.
Neighborhood overviewDirectly across the street is a first class grocery store, Rouses, which makes any shopping or stocking up you need to do both quick and convenient.
Three blocks down the street is the Caesars Superdome and Smoothie King Arena which host an array of annual major concerts, large festivals (Essence Festival, Endymion Ball, Super Bowl 2025, College Football Simi Finals and National Championships, and All-State Sugar Bowl), and of course the homes of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans. Game day is a breeze, as you can avoid all the traffic, easily hang out and pregame in the AC, and when you are ready, saunter down the street to cheer on your preferred team. And after the game, whether happy or sad, you have only a short walk to get back to relax or make a turn and go out to celebrate.
For those in town for business meetings or conventions, the CBD is all around, so a very quick walk, or short Uber/Lyft (wait time is approximately 2 min on almost all occasions), to get to any office building or the Morial Convention Center. Hyatt Regency is two blocks away.
One of the greatest attractions New Orleans has to offer is a trip to the World War II Museum, which is less than a 10 minute walk away. This experience is not to be missed for anyone interested in history, but even for those that don't. The museum is THE Smithsonian museum on WWII, so if you have had a Smithsonian experience before, you will know what that means, and if you haven't, GO.
If you enjoy dinning out, there are over a hundred restaurants to enjoy within easy walking distance, many of which are James Beard Award winning, and almost all of which allow you to sample the excellent culinary experience a visit to New Orleans has to offer.
Nightlife entertainment opportunities abound outside of the sports complex of the Superdome/Arena, as you can enjoy musical performances at the Three Keys, Fillmore Theater, Sanger Theater, Howling Wolf, Republic, Joy Theater, Virgin Hotel, and many others, all within an easy walk or extremely fast Uber/Lyft. Outdoor concerts are regularly held at Champions Square and Lafayette Park, as well as the French Quarter Festival that takes place along the river and throughout the French Quarter. Jazz Fest is an easy uber away, and for those that enjoy taking risks and rolling the dice, the Caesars Casino is a very approachable size casino.
The French Quarter is an easy to access 15 minute walk without the frustration of being right in the middle of the noise and chaos that is the French Quarter experience. Many people frequently say they enjoy being in the mix for a time, but very much enjoy not staying in it full time. So our location provides a respite from the 24 hour experience, while allowing visitors plenty of options in their immediate vicinity to still enjoy their visit.
While many don't see shopping in New Orleans as the first thing they want to do, there is still some excellent boutiques and interesting treasures to be found in the local stores of the South Market District, which is directly outside our doors. Furthermore, one can enjoy a leisure day by walking the small stores and restaurants along Magazine Street in the Garden District, which is a simple and quick Uber/Lyft ride of 8 minutes or less to the starting point.
Getting aroundThe St. Charles Streetcar Line is a half block down on the corner, and the Loyola Streetcar Line is three blocks away. Across the street is a Blue Bike station, allowing anyone with a smartphone the ability to rent a bike to ride around town, with the convenience of leaving it wherever you would like when finished. Walking is often preferred, as there are numerous buildings throughout the Warehouse District worthy of a stop and look. The French Quarter, WWII Museum, Casino, Convention Center, and Riverwalk Outlet Mall are all a 10-15 min walk. If speed is a need, Uber/Lyft are but a moment away.
