    Visitors to New Orleans often comment about our many trees and how much green space there is here. For a medium size city in terms of square miles it does have a large percentage of green spaces in the form of parks large and small. The two largest parks, Audubon Park (in the Uptown area) and City Park (In the Mid-City/Lakefront area) are home to the Audubon Zoo and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Combined with the Mississippi River, Lake Pontchartrain, and many other lakes and bayous, the area offers many recreational opportunities, such as river cruises, boating and fishing, as well as providing a cooling respite from the summer's heat.

    Mammoth Espresso
    When strolling through downtown, Mammoth Espresso is the coffee shop for you. I always order a cappuccino, but they have a large variety of coffee options. Also, they have yummy pastries for a quick grab and go. I absolutely love the high ceiling of this place, the plants, and all the natural light...perfect set up for studying/working!

    Growing up I've been spoiled with having some A+ Sushi restaurants down the street. Haiku has been the first place that really stood above the rest in the city. The service is always friendly, and THEIR TUNA IS GREAT. I'm a tuna-over-all-other-fish type guy and they've got the stuff. For those not into sushi, their Ramen options are always great for those days when it's cold or you just need to get warmed up. The Crouching Dragon is the bomb.com

    Aging is a funny thing. What you used to accomplish in a day now takes you all day to complete. In this case it's staying active. If you're anything like me, you like to be competitive and also integrate into the city you live in. Recently, I've joined an over 30 intramural team. It gives you that extra enthusiasm to work out and stay healthy, rather than running mindless on a treadmill. This is a strong recommendation for those looking to get more established in their community, or just wanting to change it up.

    Best Recipes in the State!
    I've been frequenting this area for years but never got a chance to stop by Urban South. Upon my first visit, I realized I've been missing out. Urban South has some of the best recipes and is widely produced throughout the south. If you find yourself nearby during business hours, I'd highly recommend stopping in. Their sours are some of the best in the business. The food truck outside also never disappoints.

    El Pavo Real
    El Pavo Real is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the city. I've never ordered something there that I didn't really enjoy. When you get there, they bring you complimentary Mexican style popcorn, which is out of this world.

    Asuka Sushi
    This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the city. The sushi is so fresh, the tuna and tuna roll is killer! The restaurant is clean and the staff is great too. All around its a great spot. It's kind of inconvenient to get to for me, but it's worth it.

    Head to Crescent Park, a hidden oasis that not a lot of locals or tourists know about. Once you cross the bridge over the train tracks, by foot, you'll enter a hidden park on the river. Crescent Park has a bike and walking trail, flowers, and a spectacular view of the the Mississippi River. You won't want to miss out on this view!

  • Magazine Street makes it easy to be in some kind of party because of the myriad number of stores, bars, restaurants, coffee shops and art galleries. Art galleries are the gems of Magazine Street, displaying the true nature of New Orleans heart. Although Magazine Street is a few miles long, you can easily move from distant blocks with transportation and then walk for few blocks to access and admire what that particular block(s) has to offer.

    Lately I was able to enjoy one of the best art shows at the DDM Gallery on 3426 Magazine Street, where artist like Marianna Canu and a few more others are on display. Take the time to be a part of one of the most vibrant streets in the beautiful city of New Orleans. Also, there are some available properties for sale in the area. If you would like to become a resident of this neighborhood, make your move!

    Magazine Street is one of the more popular areas in the city to shop and people-watch! Explore six miles of art galleries, shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants and cafes. Magazine Street stretches from the Downtown/Central Business District all the way uptown to Audubon Park.

    Many different architectural styles can be found along this street including: Victorian cottages and shotguns with gingerbread millwork, as well as Greek Revival with columns. It was named for a "magazin", a warehouse built in the 1700's where products were stored before exporting.

    Garden District
    Ride the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, hop off anywhere between Jackson Avenue and Louisiana Avenue, and stroll around this picturesque neighborhood known for its larger scale magnificent homes with their lush gardens. Built in the late 1800's, largely for Americans who became wealthy from the sugar, cotton and shipping industries, these mansions were made in the more elaborate Italianate, Greek Revival, and Victorian style. The Garden District extends from St. Charles Avenue to Magazine Street; a vibrant shopping area with many restaurants, bars, shops, and entertainment.
  • When discussing neighborhoods in New Orleans, we often throw names around loosely. Places such as "Uptown," or "Lakeview" may actually encompass three or more different actual neighborhoods. I certainly don't know anybody who, when asked where they live, says they live in West Riverside - or East Riverside for that matter. In fact, the City Planning Commission has designated 73 official neighborhoods in the city of New Orleans. While in our day to day lives, it may not matter that we are referring to the Irish Channel as "Uptown," it will matter when purchasing or selling a home. Many important factors considered by home buyers, from zoning regulations to market trends, are governed along these lines. Therefore, whether you're buying or selling, it is important you know where your home actually is according to the government.
