Everyday Life in an Extraordinary Neighborhood
To keep up with socialite Margarita Bergen you'd need a tanker of expresso and high-dollar roller skates. For we mere mortals, this page makes life simple.

At French Quarter Journal, we report on New Orleans' oldest neighborhood as a community - not a commodity.

We look further than the obvious tourist attractions that draw 18 million visitors a year to New Orleans and focus on the French Quarter's continuing evolution as a world-class incubator for individualism and creativity. 

The stories are fascinating - and numerous - for although the neighborhood's population has dwindled drastically in recent decades, it remains sacred ground for those who live to create.  

Each week, our professional writers and photographers pull aside the Quarter's velvet curtain and reveal its quirky backstage workings for readers.  
​
You'll meet some of the engaging characters who live and work in this enigmatic place.  We'll introduce you to the artists, the residents and the street-sweepers.  Get acquainted with musicians and bar-backs, shopkeepers and chefs. 

​Explore the nooks and crannies of the Quarter's venerable buildings with us.  Visit in the homes and walk through the patios of long-time residents.  Step inside generational businesses.  Share a meal, lift a drink and make a toast:  

To everyday life in an extraordinary neighborhood.
