NEW ORLEANS
Simply mention its name and an exhilarating sense of excitement stimulates the soul.
For some, New Orleans is a destination for the free-spirited atmosphere
festively personified at a Sunday second line. Others are called by the various
culinary delights only found in this southernmost paradise.
Still, many come to revel in, and engage the history of, the wildly popular, worldrenowned melodic traditions distinctive to the city and its musicians – where nearly
every street corner offers the opportunity to experience the local, musical way-of-life.
A modern metropolis bursting with a rich, multi-ethnic history, rarely does a
New Orleans day pass that you won’t find yourself within earshot of a parade
or party, happily laced with dance-provoking sounds, and an even more
welcoming people.
Weekdays are hardly distinguishable from weekends in this city, whereas in most, the
weekend starts on a Friday. In New Orleans, there’s neither a beginning
nor end.
Many of its cultural practices and traditions, like jazz to the untrained ear, rarely make
sense, but when everything comes together, it works just right. That is
New Orleans, a city whose energy is often times indescribable, one whose past
is never far from its future.
Everywhere you venture there is something to savor and the New Orleans
Multicultural Tourism Network (NOMTN), an organization exceptional in its own right,
is here to ensure you experience the city in all its remarkable brilliance.
Welcome!

BACK O’
T O WN
Depending on which side of Canal St. you stand,
the fundamental, directional instructions native New
Orleanians offer visitors to the city allude to areas and
neighborhoods in either uptown or downtown.
Back o’ Town technically speaks to the development
of the city that took place on the downtown side of
Canal St., or “back” from the Mississippi River, to Lake
Pontchartrain.
With further development, however,
it has evolved to reference areas
in Mid-City, to include celebrated
avenues such as Esplanade, Orleans
and Claiborne, contributing to a
wide-ranging, intrinsically eclectic
amalgam of ethnicities piquing
one’s every sensory element.
Back o’ Town – the beating heart of a
city that lends the pulse to a nation.

THE NEIG
H BORHOODS
Exploration
in historical
opulence…
shall we?
New Orleans is a cultural Mecca,
seeding the soil from which many
uniquely American art forms have
grown. Its neighborhoods are home to
some of the more intrinsic, powerfully
influential institutions the world over –
including music, cuisine, performance
and visual art, architecture and more.
Those expressions, and the people who
breathe life into them, are what give
the city its flavor, its highly-venerated
identity and prominent stature.
Multicultural in its purest form,
New Orleans, its people and the
neighborhoods of which they dwell
stand to intrigue, captivate and mystify.
Faubourg Tremé
Widely known as the country’s oldest,
African-American neighborhood and
believed to be the birthplace of jazz –
yes, that is correct, this neighborhood
spawned an entire genre of music –
Tremé provides a lively pulse to this
country’s history in a way only its
residents can.
During the antebellum period, slaves
would be given Sundays off, with many
congregating in the neighborhood’s
Congo Square for ritualistic dancing,
chanting and celebration. From these
gatherings, a musically iconic custom
was born – jazz!
A mere stone’s throw from the French
Quarter, the Tremé neighborhood also
housed the famed red light district of
Storyville. For years, the area between
North Rampart and North Claiborne
existed as a haven for jazz and brothels.
w w w.SOULOFNE WORLEANS.com
occurring after heavy rains and
hurricanes.
The grace and refinement of Tremé
is omnipresent, stemming from the
green spaces of Armstrong Park
and culminating at the steps of the
statuesque St. Augustine Church.
Handsome art galleries and mouthwatering soul food establishments
abound in this section the city, as
its history and architecture exist to
provide an extraordinary balance.
The Garden District
A streetcar ride through uptown,
an affable means in which to explore
this region of the city, allows the
traveler to start from the French
Quarter and winnow her way through
an architectural paradox known as the
Garden District.
Architecture throughout the city often
reflected the people who settled in the
area, and the architectural foundation of
the houses in this celestial part of town
is a breathtaking characterization of its
wealthy Anglo settlers.
Lavishly cured Victorian and Classicalstyle homes gracefully line St. Charles
Avenue, with many having been raised to
avoid the frequent street flooding
Close in proximity to the city’s
center, the Garden District offers
authentic New Orleans atmosphere and charm. A cherished
guidepost, the area has been satisfying the desires of its guests since the
19th century.
Gentilly and
Pontchartrain Park
This long, graceful neighborhood
bounded by Lake Pontchartrain to its
north, France Road to the east, Bayou St.
John to the west and the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad to the south, Gentilly
is an area much favored by retirees,
families with young children and those
attending and affiliated with Dillard
University, its chief landmark and pride.
Offering seamless access through the
heart of this locale, Elysian Fields,
an important thoroughfare for the
city even before Gentilly became an
established neighborhood, was built
close to the New Orleans Fairgrounds,
the country’s third oldest, continuously
operating thoroughbred race track and
home to the city’s annual, culturally
deified congregation – Jazz Fest.
Pontchartrain Park
“The American Dream realized,”
Pontchartrain Park was the very first
sub-division in New Orleans specifically
designed for the growing class of
politically potent, middle and upper
w w w.SOULOFNE WORLEANS.com
class professional African-Americans
seeking homeownership (doctors,
lawyers, teachers, postal workers, etc.).
At its center lies an immaculate, 18-hole
golf course designed by and named for
African-American golf pro, Joseph M.
Bartholemew Sr. – a black golfer who
conceived, but was not permitted to play
on several of the city’s courses.
It was here where the seeds of many
of the city’s more prominent black
people were germinated, spawning such
talents as: Ernest “Dutch” Morial
(New Orleans’ first African-American
mayor), actor and producer Wendell
Pierce (star of the HBO series The Wire),
Grammy Award-winning jazz musician
Terence Blanchard and more.
Gert Town
Home of the famously indigenous
Cutting Contest–informal, musical battles played between bands to win over
audiences – Gert Town, once part of the
large McCarty Slave Plantation, is said to
have derived its name from the broken
pronunciation of an early gathering spot
and general store, Gehrke’s Town.
In the early 1900s, the area’s Johnson
and Lincoln parks became significant
jazz sites in New Orleans, when
many African-Americans settled there.
Among those settlements lives one of
the nation’s more exalted educational
institutions, Xavier University – the only
historically Black and Catholic university
in the U.S.
Pigeon Town
An area of the city whose inhabitants
spoke “pidgin” English, or just enough of
a broken form of the English language to
transact business in the street, Pigeon
Town is the city’s “Uptown Back’oTown.”
Bounded by S. Claiborne to the north,
Carrollton Avenue to the east, the
Mississippi River to the south and the
parish line to the west, this historical
neighborhood, whose official moniker is
Leonidas, serves its residents well.
Site of the city’s annual Po-boy festival,
Pigeon Town denizens are a prideful,
blue collar lot who turns to the
area’s charmingly antiquated boutiques,
restaurants, coffee shops, bars and
dance halls to partake in those little
treasures and pleasures life offers once
you’ve punched the timecard at the end
of the day.
The Vieux Carre
The New Orleans French Quarter, the
oldest section of the city, also known to
its many visitors as the Vieux Carre,
remains the spiritual center of the city,
capturing the intrigue of both guests
and locals alike with quaint, narrow
streets brimming with first-class antique
shops, award-winning restaurants and,
of course, internationally-renowned
night life.
