Looking for the perfect romantic activity in New Orleans? Your choices are endless, but if the weather is nice, which it usually is, one choice is to watch the sunset at the Fly.
The Fly is a park that runs along part of the Mississippi River behind the Audubon Zoo. It’s the perfect spot to stretch out on the green grass and sip a glass of wine and watch the sun set with that special someone. Your Garden District Bed and Breakfast, Southern Comfort, has bicycles available so getting to the Fly is easy.

What a special year! Not only is this the 25th anniversary of the Festival but it is also a 100th birthday celebration for the famous playwright.
Tennessee Williams held New Orleans dear to his heart and often referred to her as his spiritual home.
Each year, actors, playwrights, poets, writers, and fans come together celebrate his life and works.This 5 day event is filled with art, live music, panel discussions, poetry readings, movies and much more. One of the most cherished event is the famous Stanley and Stella Shouting contest.
Another year passes

Another Mardi Gras comes to an end. We’re all moving slow now, a bit exhausted from all the preparation and celebration. Ladders and chairs lean against the house….beads hang from the trees and power lines on the Avenue…out of towners sort though their teasures trying to narrow what will fit in that homeward bound suitcase…. goodbyes have been made to new friends met on the parades with shouts of see ya next year. Until next year!
Living On the Parade Route
March 1st, 2011 by cindee
It’s almost here.Anticipation pervades the neighborhood as we ready ourselves for the big weekend ahead. The most colorful parades start tomorrow! Anyone living within a short walk, like our B&B;, are getting out the barricades and ropes to save parking space for family and friends. This is a time you realize you have friends you didn’t even know. A nearby bathroom is a wonderful addition to the parade experience.
