Only a few blocks away, Parkway boasts some of the best po-boys in town. Also, I've been told, some of the best gumbo. The president ate here on one of his trips; look for the photo when you go!

Getting Around

Here's the closest/easiest place to hop on the streetcar. It's about a ten minute walk from the house. The streetcar schedules are posted online. Just keep in mind, it's not the nicest place in town (nor the worst, by far). So, either walk in a group or drive to/from the streetcar stop if you're planning to be there late at night.
