New Orleans blurs the line when it comes to what is a gay or straight bar. It is a lovey area to wander where you can enjoy the unique homes and old-world architecture of New Orleans. The Garden district is home to the city’s stunning old mansions and is just south of the French Quarter. The busiest gay bars and restaurants are centred along Frenchman Street and Elysian Fields. The scene here is quite relaxed, more “grown-up” some would say, when compared to the raucous of Bourbon Street. This district is famous for its 19th century quaint Creole cottages. Marigny is just a short trip northeast of the French Quarter. Visitors to The Quarter can enjoy a unique mix of Spanish, French and Creole architecture as well as the ubiquitous cast-iron balconies from which gay boys dance and dangle every night of the week! Marigny
The area is bordered by the Rampart, Esplanade, Canal and the Mississippi River. Most first timers spend much of their time in this district. Known to locals as “The Quarter”, the French Quarter or the Vieux Carre, is the beating heart of gay New Orleans.
