The French Quarter

The most famous neighbourhood in New Orleans- the French Quarter. It is a tad touristy with a souvenir shop in every 3 shops you passed by on Decatur Street where Bubba Gump New Orleans is at as well. If you are one who appreciate architecture with ornate cast and wrought-iron balconies, you will need the whole day in French Quarter. Also horse carriages is a big thing, I have to go back and take a ride on the horse carriage.
"The Court of Two Sisters has been ISPR-certified as haunted and many locals tell haunted tales Of the Two Sisters ghosts (Emma and Bertha Camors) watching over them as they enjoy their wonderful meals. The two sisters, Emma and Bertha Camors, born 1858 and 1860 respectively, belonged to a proud and aristocratic Creole family. Marriage, reversals of fortune, widowhood - nothing could separate the sisters. Indeed, as the Picayune was to report, the sisters died within two months of each other in the winter of 1944. United in death as in life, the sisters lie side by side at St. Louis Cemetery #3. And today they say there ghost do the very same and or often sighted sitting together at a table late at night."
Quoted from Haunted History
But we are more interested in the Jazz Brunch (haha)

While walking around the townhouses, do not forget to peek in others' courtyards, you never know what you might get to see~
