OUTSIDE OF FRENCH QUARTER

Only French Quarter is New Orleans. Take streetcars or cars, let's see another part of New Orleans.

ST. CHARLES STREETCAR

The tour riding on a St. Charles Streetcar is enjoyable and reasonable. From downtown to uptown, you can see the changing of the street.

Fare; $1
Transfer; 10c

JIMMY'S

8200 Willow St.
866-9549

We intended to see Marcia Ball's show. We couldn't see her Jazz Fest. stage, though I found that she had a gig at Jimmy's. That was our last night in New Orleans. I was so glad that I would be able to see her show, at last. But unfortunately, there was the opening act "Paula & the Pontiacs" at that night. They played until midnight. They were not bad, but we saw their Jazz Fest. stage already. And we were so tired and sleepy. We waited for Marcia after midnight. It would be long time until her show and finally we gave up.

Jimmy's was comfortable place. There were lots of local college students and they were very frank. You can reach there by St. Charles Streetcar, though, a taxi or a car is better for you to return to downtown in a midnight hour.

LOUISIANA SUPERDOME

1500 Poydras St.
587-3810

Now there is Tokyo Dome in Japan, but I was so surprised when I first see Superdome. I had never seen huge stadium like this.

Available Superdome tour; Adults $6, Kids $4

CITY PARK

1 Dreyfous Ave.
482-4888

Near Lake Pontchartrain. There are Botanical Gardens, Amusement Park, Storyland and New Orleans Museum of Art.

It will take 20 minutes from French Quarter to City Park by bus.

LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN & CAUSEWAY BRIDGE

Lake Pontchartrain is very huge, and of course, the bridge across the lake is the longest in the world.

It will take 60 minutes from end to end by car.

ST. LOUIS CEMETERIES

Cemeteries of New Orleans are different from that of any other area. There are flood in New Orleans, so it's unable to bury dead bodies in the ground directly.

I recalled the scene from Easy Rider.
