Magazine Street Walk, Uptown to the Lower Garden District

About this video

A 90-minute narrated walk along Magazine Street, one of New Orleans' main shopping streets, from far uptown towards the Central Business District. The guide points out independent shops, cafés, galleries and old market buildings, and talks about Mardi Gras traditions, street names and the immigrant groups that shaped the area. The second half passes the edge of the Garden District, the Irish Channel and the 'Sliver by the River', the higher ground that stayed dry after Hurricane Katrina, and ends in the Lower Garden District.
