Bourbon Street in the French Quarter gets all the publicity, but have you ever been down Royal Street? This promenade of art galleries, cute shops, eateries, and wrought-iron balconies is just as charming as its famous cousin with a fraction of the tourism. Take a break from the neon lights and spend an afternoon shopping for unique souvenirs. Enjoy the street performances as you munch on goodies from Café Beignet. In the evening, join the resident ghosts for a drink at Hotel Monteleone.
