Less touristy and busy than Bourbon Street. A bar lined street with lots of live music and fun to be had. Each evening a second line brass band (brass bands that play on the streets of New Orleans) can be found playing for crowds. Such a treat to see such talented musicians playing in such a relaxed environment.
