I love N, Rampart Street because it is has it all! This street epitomizes local! N Rampart St is one of 4 boundaries of the French Quarter. Like all border streets, its charm lies in the crossover of identities. It is beholden to its namesake but the location fuses the end of one personality and the beginning of another! One side of N. Rampart Street is on the French Quarter side and the other is on the Treme side! In the middle runs the newly constructed Streetcar Line! Let's take a ride starting at Canal Street and N. Rampart, heading towards Esplanade one will see The New Orleans Athletic Club on the right. It's unlike any other athletic club I have ever been in as it opened in 1872. What other club has a ballroom for yoga and classes, a bar, barber shop, pool, state-of-the-art work out equipment and can boast that Tennessee Williams was a member once upon a time?Across from the club on the Treme side of N Rampart is the Saenger Theater which hosts A list acts! Continue strolling down to 732 N Rampart Street and on the corner of N Rampart St and Orleans is Mary's Ace Hardware Store. The second floor has a beautiful selection of items for the gourmet chef! My dog loves going there because they always give him a treat! On the other side of the street across from Mary's is the famous Louis Armstrong Park and Congo Square. When the weather is nice there are usually free concerts in the park on Thursday nights. Sundays one will hear the distant sound of African drumming.Continuing on down N Rampart is a place called Arrow Cafe at 628 N Rampart St. It offers an upbeat vibe, great coffee and a very sweet owner. Moving along, there is a fantastic place for dinner or brunch at Meaux Bar on the corner of N Rampart St and St Philip. Other venue's you won't want to miss are Black Penny - a local watering hole; Voodoo Lounge that's open 24 hours; Mr. Gregory's Cafe, Dreamy Weenies (hot dogs) and local TV Station, for Channel 4 WWLTv . Right next door is a new champagne bar called Effervescence at 1036 N. Rampart St.that just opened up March 2017! Across the Street is a Tattoo Parlor and next to that is the French Quarter Suites Hotel.Go pick up some food for your pooch at Dr Mike's (vet) and then head over to the Carmelite Convent (1877) which was recently bought by a local developer and is now used for weddings and events. Across the street on the Treme side is the beautiful New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation. When you get to the corner of Esplanade and N Rampart St, you are at the end of the French Quarter side of N Rampart. Too the right, walk onto Esplanade Avenue, which is the next border Street of the French Quarter heading towards the river or go to the other side of Esplanade and you will be in The Faubourg Marigny!
