A walking tour for the those looking to get off the tourist path! The Bywater arts and food scene are the main draw to this hip neighborhood's revitalization post-Katrina. This tour offers a unique look into the new, innovative direction of local cuisine, including Creole and Cajun fusion in a food hall, classics like the po-boy, cool street art and a visit to the site that launched the historic Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson. Eat and drink your way through this bohemian neighborhood while taking in historic sites, folk art and colorful architecture!
