overlooked by the St. Louis
Cathedral. A favorite spot for
visitors and locals. It’s no secret
why the green s uare is embedded
with culture. It calls the Presbytere,
Cabildo and Pontalba Apartments its
neighbors and it is also the hub of
local city artists. The wrought-iron
fence wrapping around the square is
where generations of artists have
displayed their portraits, paintings,
drawings and creations for cultural
minds to savor.
When first hearing of what ew
rleans had to offer, I found it
difficult to believe that luxury
existed within the southern
destination. However, after my visit,
I found that the city, enamored with
art, music, architecture and fine
dining, is in addition, a hub of
cultural opulence and incredible
history that deserves a visit from
those with finer tastes.

is quite literally embedded
within a courtyard of
fairy lights and fountains.
