Bourbon Street Nightlife
Few places on Earth possess the year-round party atmosphere as does New Orleans. And it all starts on Bourbon Street.
This is New Orleans’ most famous street, the Amsterdam of America, a place dominated by drinks and drinkers where the cocktail is king and bars stand side-by-side block after block. Weekdays are hardly distinguishable from weekends. In most cities, the weekend starts on a Thursday. In New Orleans, it has no beginning or end.
That Allan Jackson/Jimmy Buffett song “It’s Five O’Clock somewhere” has a home here. It’s always Five O’Clock in New Orleans.
Bourbon Street is neither decadent nor elegant, seedy nor snazzy, cheesy nor charming. It is simply a friendly block party and it goes on until you decide to leave.
A weekend that has no beginning or end. Now I could get used to something like that. And then there are all those ghosts that haunt the region. Now tell me… does it get any better than this?? And just before Halloween? By comparison, my street looks dead… but not in a good way! ;)
