New Orleans welcomes guests with world-class dining, rockin’ clubs, and good ol’ Southern hospitality. In fact, continued tourism not only brings a smile to travelers’ faces but funds further reconstruction.

Unfamiliar with the Big Easy? Not a problem. Summer presents a great chance to get away, and get loose. Here are a few NOLA nights out to cross off your list:

*Make the rounds at Bourbon Street

*Sip one of 100 types of martinis at the Bombay Club

*Survey the Bourbon Bar at Pat O’Brien’s

*Listen to pure New Orleans jazz at Preservation Hall (no food or drink here, the music is the big draw.)

The best part? Whether you’re grabbing some late-night seafood at Acme Oyster House, or soaking up the ambience of Bourbon Street, you are personally helping New Orleans shine the way it was meant to.

Or is it real? Visitors who have never been cannot imagine what this city has to offer until they arrive. When the sun goes down, New Orleans comes alive with a magical energy all its own. New Orleans’ night life is in full force these days and continues to earn its legendary reputation – a diverse array of music, color, flavor, fun and excitement. This city never sleeps . . . and gives one an unmatched range of reasons to party on with it.

New Orleans nightlife is the neon, noise and revelry of Bourbon Street; but it is also the shadows of moonlit couples walking hand-in-hand along the Mississippi. It’s the abandon of red-hot live music and the mouthwatering gratification of all-night coffee and beignets. It’s beer, bands and bowling – all together, all night long. It’s the clinking of chips, the ringing of slots and cheers of the lucky at world-class casinos. It’s unforgettable performances – from street music to opera, comedy to cabaret, and cinema to theater. And world-class restaurants as well as local favorites are open late too.

It’s just about anything you can imagine and many more things you can’t. Wild and unbridled or relaxed and subdued, nights in New Orleans will always be unforgettable.

The Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast is conveniently located on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line. This affords visitors easy access to all the nightlife venues in the city, and in the wee hours, a taxi ride is inexpensive and a quick way home. Let us show you how sweet life can be in New Orleans.
