Oct visit

Hello everyone...My husband and I will be coming into NOLA Oct 13 for 3 days. We are staying at the Avenue Inn B%26amp;B. I hope we picked a good place to stay since I just happened upon it on the internet and it looked charming. I did, of course, check it out on Trip Advisor and it had good ratings. However, this is our first trip and I am wondering about hsitorical homes to visit/admire. We also want to visit the cemetaries (what is it that attracts folks to a cemetary?). Any help from the locals or those who have expreience would be greatly appreciated.

I wanted to bump you up on the postings..but try forum searches on cemetary tours. Save our Cemetaries Inc. does excellent cemetary tours. Keep in mind at the avenue inn you will be way up (4100 block) st charles and the streetcar does not yet run that far up...its still only to Lee Circle (around the 900 block). The rooms are large and very nice but if you have any problem with stairs this might not be the place. The homes that you can visit are generally in the FQ..such as Gallier House, Beauregard Keyes, 1850 House..try forum searches on the topics.

Thank you very much for your reply. Will it be expensive for us to take a cab into the other parts of the city?

I%26#39;ve been to NO twice and both times I have booked and paid for cemetary tours and both times I have not gone. I really will do my best to go on one next time, but there is just so much to do in NO.

Make sure you go to Jackson Square. Not only is it just a cool area, but you can take a buggy tour of the french quarter/garden district.

Maybe some other cabwise folks can chime in. We had a car when at the Avenue Inn. I%26#39;d estimate $15 to the FQ.

There are Garden District walking tours and similar tours if you want to see some of the historical homes - this is outside of the FQ of course. If you Google ';Garden District Walking Tours'; you will find lots of information about various historical home tours.

Everyone is so helpful. I love using Trip Advisor as a tool before we vacation. I have received many great tips as a result of spending a little time on this site.
