Along Bourbon Street

A sidewalk display case window in front of Alternatives, a gay establishment on Bourbon Street. The display features Ken dolls in all manners of masculine and feminine dress.

Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop—one of the most ancient buildings existing in the Quarter, dating back to 1772. Now a piano bar, patrons are transported back to the times of pirates and privateers as they soak in the extremely dark and rustic ambiance provided by the establishment. Candlelight is the primary means of lighting inside. One of the less-expensive (but extremely potent) Hurricanes that can be found on Bourbon Street will be enjoyed here. Just seeing this building in person and walking through it is a treat.

This street is the heart of the Quarter, broader than any of the other adjacent streets. In this view, we are looking at the rear of St. Louis Cathedral and St. Anthony’s Garden (which contains the statue). To the left are the columns of the Bourbon Orleans Hotel (once famous for being the Quadroon Ballroom).


	Located at 738 Toulouse St. in the Quarter, the Dungeon is an alternative nightclub catering to vampires and other night creatures. Reputed to be haunted, complete with a levitating jukebox and other strange phenomenon. True to vampire tradition, this club opens at Midnight and closes at dawn.
