Our Neighborhood
Just down river from the French Quarter, stretching from Press Street to the Industrial Canal, is Bywater, where the mood and pace shift as you enter into the heart of an edgier yet still welcoming neighborhood.

Arts and restaurants
The St. Claude Arts District is home to visual and performance art, artisan crafts, restaurants, thrift stores, and galleries. Even the homes, cafes, and restaurants seem to capture Bywater's eclectic appreciation for the arts.
Crescent Park and river views
Spend the afternoon at Crescent Park for views of downtown New Orleans and the Mississippi River, then thrift through the neighborhood, stop into an exhibition, or make your way to dinner.
