New Orleans is famous for its Mardi Gras celebrations and general liveliness throughout the city. Seeded in its rich history, NOLA’s culture is a melting pot—from its cuisine to its architecture and community events. Algiers is the second-oldest neighborhood in the city—just across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter.

Contrary to the bustle of the popular New Orleans tourist attractions on the East Bank, our West Bank neighborhood offers a serene visit. We are connected to downtown by one of the nation’s oldest ferries. When you catch it from Algiers Point, you get a fantastic view of the New Orleans skyline. Also while in Algiers, take in the area’s colorful buildings and neighborhoods. Victorian cottages and Craftsman-style architecture tell the history of the neighborhood’s rebuild in the early 1900s. After a fire destroyed many of Algiers’ oldest buildings in 1985, residents built many homes that still stand today. Enjoy a walk back in time through NOLA’s shotgun houses.

Is it really a trip to New Orleans without visiting Bourbon Street? On the other side of the river, the French Quarter beams with 21-and-over activities for any time of day. Visit Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar, the United States’ oldest structure used as a bar, and Galatoire’s Restaurant, one of New Orleans’ oldest and most popular restaurants. Take in the best intersection of local and tourist NOLA in the French Quarter.

New Orleans food is an attraction in and of itself. Get a taste of the signature Cajon and Creole dishes that people travel near and far to experience. While many of the well-known spots in the city are across the river, here are a few of our favorite dining spots right here in Algiers.
