Hotels Shown on the New Orleans French Quarter Map: Points of Interest on the New Orleans French Quarter Map: The French Quarter (or Vieux Carre) was the original city center, and still retains much of the architecture it had three hundred years ago. You'll still find cobblestone streets and gas lamps. The French Quarter is famous for its bars and nightclubs (go to Bourbon Street for the largest concentration of bars), antiques and art galleries (Royal Street is the hub for those pursuits), live music, quirky museums and great restaurants on seemingly every corner. Along the Mississippi River, Waldenberg Park provides green space and views of ships passing by. At the end of the park is the Audubon Institute's Aquarium of the Americas and IMAX theater. Keep walking into the neighboring Warehouse District for the Riverwalk Marketplace shopping center, Harrah's Casino and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Jax Brewery has shops and restaurants like the Hard Rock Café. Next to it, the Moonwalk, named for a former New Orleans mayor and not for the celestial body, is a good place to rest your weary feet and hear an impromtpu saxophonist. Cafe du Monde is world-famous for beignets, the fried donut covered with powdered sugar. The French Market is a fruit and vegetable stand during the week, and a full-blown flea market on weekends -- a great place for inexpensive souvenirs. Jackson Square is a small public park flanked by fortune tellers and artists. Just outside, St. Louis Cathedral is open for tours whenever mass is not being held.
