Where to Park for French Quarter visit

We are going to drive over to New Orleans for the day from Biloxi. Planning on a mule buggy tour, walking around the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.

My question is where is it safe to park our vehicle near these sites and also where would you suggest we have lunch?

Where to Park for French Quarter visit

There is a lot at Elysian Fields and Decatur St. which is just a few blocks from the FQ. I believe it is $8 per day. It is easier to drive on the downriver side of the FQ near Esplanade Ave as opposed to Canal St. and the CBD.

Lunch options I recommend are Johnny%26#39;s Po Boys, Napoleon House. If you like muffaletta%26#39;s, they are good at Central Grocery and Napoleon House. If you want a nice place, Mr. B%26#39;s Bistro for BBQ shrimp, Muriel%26#39;s or Bayona.

If you%26#39;ll be visiting on a weekday, you could park at the Canal Place shopping mall, which fronts on Canal Street and is adjacent to the Audubon Aquarium. There is covered parking, and the early bird parking rate is $8 if you%26#39;re in by 9 and out by 5.

Just a note that there%26#39;s nothing to see on Bourbon during the day. It%26#39;s pretty tacky, in fact. Spend your time on Royal instead!

Park on Decatur next door to the Canal Place Mall and walk up to where all th ehorse/buggy tours can be caught.

Theres an outdoor lot next to Jax Brewery and then in the further block toward S.Peters is another lot on Decatur..those would place you closer to the items you mentioned.

Thanks for the parking tips.

Any suggestions on what we should see/do for the afternoon? Mule buggy ride is all we%26#39;ve planned other than lunch.

I agree the Jax Brewery lot is easy to get in and out of - I work in the FQ and that%26#39;s where I park every day. I don%26#39;t have a choice, but I still think it%26#39;s most convenient. I second the recommendation for Napoleon House, it%26#39;s my favorite!

One of our favorite lunch spots is Acme Oyster House. And don%26#39;t forget Cafe du Monde. Go there for dessert and coffee after lunch, and you%26#39;ll be right across from where the carriage tours begin.

Parking between Canal and the brewery would probably be best for everything, just a couple of $ most than some places but less than other. The Aquarium would be nice, a visit to Mardi Gras World. Just walking the streets between Decatur and Bourbon from Canal to Jackson Square there is a lot to see, more than you could possibly enjoy in a day. There%26#39;s also the French Market.

What kind of lunch would you want to have?

We will be staying at the Country Inn and Suites. Is the mall parking lot or the one by the brewery close enoungh (or safe enough) to walk from there to the hotel?
