Court of Two Sisters jazz brunch is well worth the time.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The shops much tackier and touristy than they were when I last visited 15 years ago. The ambience and architecture still intact with several buskers up and down the street. Royal street all the way downriver to the Industrial Canal into Bywater was fun to walk. I couldn’t stop gawking at all the interesting homes along Royal Street.

5/5 - Excellent

Cafe Beignet is OKAY but stick to Cafe DuMonde for the beignets
