⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking New Orleans : Bourbon & Royal Streets, French Quarter during Golden Hour

Google Maps Route: goo.gl/maps/fD...
A walk through Bourbon Street & Royal Street in the French Quarter District of New Orleans. Bourbon Street is full of wild parties, music, and tourists every night. However, it is especially wild on weekend nights and during Mardis Gras.
From Wikipedia:
"Bourbon Street (French: Rue Bourbon) is a historic street in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. Extending thirteen blocks from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue, Bourbon Street is famous for its many bars and strip clubs.
With 17.74 million visitors in 2017 alone, New Orleans depends on Bourbon Street as a main tourist attraction. Tourist numbers have been growing yearly after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the city has successfully rebuilt its tourist base. For millions of visitors each year, Bourbon Street provides a rich insight into New Orleans' past."

Best time to walk around B street and have a few drinks is afternoon to early evening. You can sit down and relax and chat up a bartender and locals without much of a problem. Not a real fan of B street at night as the music is pretty generic and the food over priced. Oh well it is fun to bar hop in the afternoon when its not packed like a sardine can.

[@rowhill59]

New York city and New Orleans are GREAT American cities for walking. New Orleans has the most unique culture in the USA 👍

[@frank-xp6pj]

I would say NewYork city has the most unique culture in the USA.

[@yeby_8203]

Most unique culture in the USA? I'm from Hawaii and beg to differ. Lol

[@tswagg504]

Not really, the areas such as the French Quarter, Garden District, Marigny, Treme, and Downtown are walkable….but the majority of the city is like Houston, a car city….public transportation used to be reliable before Hurricane Katrina where you’d wait no more than 15 minutes for a bus….not anymore…..but for a tourist, it’s absolutely perfect, your hotel will be walking distance from everything, restaurants, attractions, Riverwalk and it’s mall, ferries, sports events, live theater, a movie theater and mall inside the Westin hotel conventions, museums, parks, bars, a wal mart, even tour buses have pickups that can bring you far out to swamps, plantations etc…..unlike NYC, you won’t need to navigate an unfamiliar public transportation system….there are 3 streetcars lines that take you to anything touristy.

[@accurrent]

@@frank-xp6pj New York cities culture is a mix off so many cultures, which is why it’s so unique, whereas New Orleans just has such a rich musical culture, same with New York though. I think that New Orleans has more of a unified culture, and not a hodgepodge of different cultures? Idk though I’m from chicago

[@accurrent]

New York is the best for walking, it’s so compact that walking becomes so much easier than driving

[@laiotpagani]

I like the architecture and atmosphere of this neighborhood

[@mbwheeler5641]

Laiot Koenigsegg there is a lot of culture and spirit in New Orleans. They have some amazing artists as well.

The tropical humidity of New Orleans no obstacle to the action kid nor the temptation to party 24 - 7 He has a mission , to showcase the decadent delights of " The Big Easy " !

[@missadams1330]

Best city on the planet 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BenNstyle]

The French and Spanish architecture of the French Quarter and New Orleans is its true treasure. I myself, prefer the old world appeal of the Garden District as opposed to Bourbon Street.

[@mbwheeler5641]

So many beautiful houses outside of the French quarter.

[@JLDReactions]

Old World appeal? But the French Quarter is much older than the Garden District. I think the Garden District is more Victorian era than anything, beautiful nonetheless.

[@judithhinton5784]

Went to New Orleans with my travel agent colleagues. Love the vibe of the city. Only bad thing...try not to go in the summertime. It was 98° and 120% humidity. I just about was on my hands and knees in that dang heat! Beautiful, vibrant city, though...

[@mbwheeler5641]

Judith Hinton the spring time is beautiful down here if you can handle pollen allergies but the fall is really the best. Weather wise.

[@largol33t1]

Will they let you back in if they recognize you? 😁

[@عليالأمين-ذ4ب]

Awesome 😍. Thank you for your sharing friend

[@Beulah5144]

I NEEDED THIS!!! Had to cancel my last trip to NOLA due to work schedule, then Covid 19's schedule. I am soooo ready to go back...to say I'm jonesing is an understatement! (It's been 3 years & I was going every 6 mos) I could almost smell Bourbon Street...& those who have walked B Street know...the smell is only half the ambiance! So...Thank you! Also, are you using a camera or gopro or what & what do you use for balancing...this was a very smooth walk & no bounce at all...bravo!!

[@largol33t1]

It's likely the uploader has a mount called a gymbal. You can buy them online at most electronics websites. It suspends the camera or GoPro under a sort of "mechanical swing" to counteract the movement of walking. The result is most of the shakiness is removed. He could also have easily run this through a software program to further smooth out the video.

[@yellowjasmine2009]

You are the best the video remain me when I was in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2018 I remember some of does places. 😁

Never seen Bourbon St that clean.

[@soundflowrelax]

So beautiful and interesting walk with lots of good music =)

[@Diana-jh7rp]

When were you in New Orleans i live 2 hours from new Orleans 😁

[@benmak917]

Unfortunately hurricane Katrina destroyed black population of New Orleans. Most of low income neighborhoods was demolished and developed for rich. Since then New Orleans is not the same.

[@CGarrett]

It's for the better though. Less crime

[@tswagg504]

@@benmak917 No, it didn’t. I’m born and raised in New Orleans, and black. People have adjusted, but the culture is still strong

Bourbon St is the Times Square of New Orleans

[@tswagg504]

I would say Canal St is…It’s a central hub area like Times Square…A lot of public transportation connects there and it has lots of restaurants, hotels, attractions (museums, aquarium, riverwalk, mall, movie theater, casino), and foot traffic

[@cacaoparty]

You must drink 1 beer in each bar till the end of the street lol.

I’m missing my home, NOLA.....

[@NickHallGuitarist]

I recently came back from vacation in Nola. Music was great but we did not feel safe at all. The first evening we were there we witnessed a shooting on bourbon street, next day a guy walked into a bar and shot a member of staff. Lots of drugs circulating and people under the Influence trying to scam or rob tourists. We planned where we were gonna visit and then swiftly made our way to our restaurant or hotel at the end of the day to avoid the crazies after dark. Was an experience though!

[@ActionKid]

Yup, it’s definitely an area with a lot of crime too. Stay tuned for an upcoming video!

[@COMMUNITYPROPERTY78]

[@TheRezone07]

Are there any hotels close by in walking distance to the strip?

[@JLDReactions]

Robert Jones The entire French Quarter is walkable. Stay in the French Quarter, Marigny, or Treme neighborhoods if you want to be within walking distance of everything.

[@TheRezone07]

Thank you

[@ActionKid]

Yes, there are plenty of hotels here.

[@JLDReactions]

@@TheRezone07 Oh, and one more thing, stay in a boutique hotel or a bed and breakfast. I find the experience to be homier and more authentic as opposed to a cold, overpriced hotel in the Quarter. Look in the Marigny neighborhood or Treme.

[@largol33t1]

0:48 - The bike taxi doesn't have an orange triangle on the back. Isn't that required by law? In my city, they all have the triangles.

[@Tonithenightowl]

I've never been but my daughter was there the year before Katrina hit. While it was fun and interesting she said it was also seedy. It certainly doesn't look seedy now. Thanks Actionkid.:o)
