As far as getting around the city, we encourage you to Uber / Lyft / Taxi. New Orleans is confusing with many detours and improvements in process.

 

Restaurants and Shopping

 

Stroll down Magazine Street for endless options for unique shops, galleries, and all sorts of delicious

cuisine.  There are many food options within walking distance of the studio.  Here are some of our personal favorites within 4-5 blocks of the studio.

 

• Gracious Bakery | Coffee shop with delicious chicken salad, great pastries and good coffee

• St. James Cheese Shop |Good lunch spot

• Parran's Po-Boys | Local favorite

• Zara's Grocery | Hot breakfasts and lunches, great poboys, rotisserie chickens and terrific for bring-your-own-lunch supplies, fixings for dinner at home, and the best chicken salad in the city!

• Guy's |  Local favorite, and Guy himself will cook for and serve you while discussing his art on the walls
