| Property Activities |

Esplanade Avenue to City Park to Lake Pontchatrain—By car or city bus, the trip down Esplanade Avenue is a special treat. Forming the eastern border of the French Quarter, the Avenue runs from the Mississippi River to City Park. Beautiful live oaks, classic mansions and a thriving commercial center at the Whole Foods Market line the way. Just before Bayou St. John is St. Louis III Cemetery, an outstanding example of our city-owned tombscapes. City Park is our largest public park with five golf courses, lagoons and the New Orleans Museum of Art as well as the site of the dueling oaks and many wonderful picnic spots. If you have a car, drive around the Park to Lake Pontchatrain where New Orleanians hang out for sun and sailing.
Streetcar to the end of the line—Another great city trip is taking the St. Charles/Carrolton Avenue streetcar line. Steam-powered initially in 1831, electrified before 1900, the system along with the newer Riverfront line carries about 15,000 passengers each day. Known as “Uptown,” this is the area where Americans coming from the east settled. Giant oaks and giant homes line the avenue. Catch the cars near Canal Street, ride to the end and get back on, get off at Audubon Park & Zoo and Tulane/Loyola universities. Combine the streetcar ride with the Zoo Boat leaving from in front of the Aquarium of the Americas.
Algiers Ferry by foot—Besides the big double bridges, the state provides a river crossing by ferry at the foot of Canal Street. This is a free ride for pedestrians and gives a great view of the city. You might want to take a stroll along the levee and have a po-boy before riding back.
And the rest of the riverfront—Walk up Elysian Fields Avenue to the river and by foot or streetcar, meander towards the bridges. New Orleans is first and foremost a river town. You will pass Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral. Stop at the Moon Walk (named after a former mayor) where benches provide a place to watch the ship traffic. Further along are paddle wheelers for a half day or dinner cruise, the Aquarium of the Americas, the Imax theater, the Riverwalk Marketplace and Harrah’s Casino.
The Northshore and getting there—If you have a car for a day, you might drive out along the River and visit some plantation homes or you might drive over the Lake Pontchatrain Causeway, dubbed the longest bridge in the world. Mandeville is a small town on the lakefront with good restaurants, old homes and great walks. Covington, 6 miles up the highway, is well-known for its boutiques and antiques. This is the Carmel of New Orleans. St. Joseph Abby, north of Covington, is famous for its frescos.
The Country Club—In the ByWater, adjacent to our Marigny neighborhood, is day pay swimming pool with two bars and lots of sunning areas (dress opt). Take a break resting for awhile on a chaise.
