Admission Not Included

Storyville District

Storyville was the red-light district of New Orleans, Louisiana, from 1897 to 1917. It was established by municipal ordinance under the New Orleans City Council, to regulate prostitution. Sidney Story, a city alderman, wrote guidelines and legislation to control prostitution within the city.

Admission Not Included

The Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans East Campus

Charity Hospital was one of two teaching hospitals which were part of the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans (MCLNO), the other being University Hospital. Three weeks after the events of Hurricane Katrina, then Governor Kathleen Blanco said that Charity Hospital would not reopen as a functioning hospital. The Louisiana State University System, which owns the building, stated that it had no plans to reopen the hospital in its original location. It chose to incorporate Charity Hospital into the city's new medical center in the lower Mid-City neighborhood.[1] The new hospital completed in August 2015 was named University Medical Center New Orleans

Treme

For decades, that highway — an elevated stretch of Interstate 10 that runs above North Claiborne Avenue in the Tremé neighborhood — has been cast as a villain that robbed the historic African American community, taking many of its homes, businesses and a glorious strand of oak trees when it was built more than a half-century ago. Since then, generations have envisioned a day when it might be removed — or at least closed off to traffic — and the neighborhood restored to its former vibrancy. Now, the infrastructure bill sets aside federal funding to help neighborhoods like Tremé.

Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes and Culture

The Mardi Gras Museum is a contemporary celebration of the vast array of grassroots traditions of Mardi Gras. Come see the pageantry, fun, and creativity that only the Mardi Gras Museum can offer.

I had a great time learning about one of the most historic neighbourhoods in America, Treme. I was fortunate have the esteemed King Hollis as my tour guide. He is knowledgeable, kind and passionate about his hometown/ neighbourhood. He is truly an ambassador of the culture and the community. I was spoilt with a stop at Baby’s Snack Box to enjoy authentic local cuisine. A trip to New Orleans isn’t complete without a tour with King Hollis and of Treme.
