jenboyd29 Posted August 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2017 We are crusing out of NOLA the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We arrive in town that Saturday, 11/18. Staying at the Marriott Downtown Convention Ctr. Wondering what the best mode of transportation will be once we leave our hotel and want to see Jackson Square and French Qtr. We've never been to NOLA before. Also, its my sons 9th birthday so we are looking for a fun place to eat for a party of 9 (ages 9-60). Not looking for a super expensive restaurant but good food and fun atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenboyd29 Posted August 26, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yes, we are all capable of walking but would also like to take one of the street cars to see the area before dinner. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums head towards the quarter and take a right on Julia and walk down to the waterfront route. cafe du monde for beignets is on this route. use gmaps to look at stuff. there is so much to see and do in your area you need at least a week. Julia street has art galleries and the WW2 museum is very close. cochon Butcher for local cajun pork, meats and eats which is perhaps 4 blocks. https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+Orleans+Downtown+Marriott+at+the+Convention+Center/@29.9432036,-90.0671416,16.9z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x8620a66e3a76ea19:0x6bb659ee1a865f71!8m2!3d29.943284!4d-90.064784 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjthecruiser Posted August 31, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The streetcars are great for getting around. Plan on using them for sightseeing. We always take the entire route just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
