I recently went to New Orleans for my birthday. Before we went I viewed a couple of your walking tours. Thank you for these they were very helpful. We had a great time.❤
Belated Happy Birthday! Glad to hear that our videos helped and you enjoyed watching them. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
A lot of places were boarded up in preparation for a hurricane.....Louisiana was in the path of 8 named storms this season and 5 of them hit, quite a busy time! Some owners paid artists to paint on their boards for decoration.
I have been watching a live camera set up on the Cats meow karaoke bar and its all up and running now,...Strangely not for Fat Tuesday( Mardi Gras) but evening and weekends have been lively !
And if you haven't done so yet, check out our video tour of the French Quarter th-cam.com/video/7LvsKLW09tA/w-d-xo.html and another on the Garden District th-cam.com/video/kAiLpTt-ydw/w-d-xo.html.

Gives me goose bumps. I worked and lived in the Quarter in the mid-late 80's. I had a room in some slave quarters off Conti and Dauphine. On the second floor of the Old Absinthe House was Tony Moran's Italian Restaurant where I worked for a while and met Frank Sinatra and Red Buttons one night. Had a gig as DJ at Chris Owens' club where she was still putting on a helluva show at 55+, another working with a street magician named Keith Wilson and a midnight show at the Famous Door. Got to shoot a game of pool with Paul Newman when he was between takes shooting the movie "Blaze" down on St. Phillip Street. Sold roses on the street corner for Bob Bridges, the Flower man. Every thing from pushing a Lucky Dog cart a couple of nights to dining room captain at Court of Two Sisters, lol. Lots of memories in a few short years. Thanks 👍👍 Oh, and thanks to Ruthie and Chicken Man for helping to make the Quarter what it was then.

Thanks, Andrew, your videos are great! Takes me right back to my childhood home. I'd love to see you do one of each street in the Quarter, the Treme, Uptown, Bayou St. John . . . basically every neighborhood in NOLA.
Thank you, Lorna. We do plan on creating many more videos of New Orleans. We'll eventually get up videos for Treme, Bayou St. John, and even more streets in the Quarter. Stay tuned!
New sub.! La native born and raised just north of NOLA. Wife from Metairie, LA. Lived in BR for a long time. Love south La!! Always something to do here: fishing, hunting. Boating, 4 wheeling, and so-on. Only problem I ever have is air quality, it's very humid here...

17:35 Zydeco really never gets the recognition that it deserves. Everything is all about Jazz. The first time that I heard Zydeco, I loved it. Fun Fact: There's a cheesy post-Wall Germany movie about an old man who secretly (when the two Germanys were separated) gets a radio channel from Louisiana. He starts to copy Zydeco on his own accordion. When the Wall falls, he heads to Louisiana and becomes a Zydeco sensation.

Thanks for the great tour. I’m from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We have been to New Orleans many time. Especially enjoy Southern Decadence so thank for going all the way down to gay neighborhood. Took relatives once and had to explain the neighborhood with out telling them to much. Love New Orleans. We have reservations Thanksgiving weekend but not sure. Trying to see what’s open.

Actually, Earl opened the first Tropical Isle on Toulouse Street off Bourbon, then the second one opened on Bourbon Street years later. I heard that the Toulouse Street bar closed since I last lived there, so the newer one on Bourbon is actually the third.
Reports have stated that since the pandemic started, food sources of the Quarter's rat population have dwindled, and the pesky rodents have been moving to outlying areas of the city to compensate for this.
I love this! I am from Germany and have plans to visit in March. (If the virus lets me) how is the situation now? Everything open again or already reclosed? ❤️ thanks for that video

Hey Elizabeth! We’ve got brass bands playing in the Quarter again at this point (late 2020), but I’ve been seeing them in Jackson Square and by Cafe du Monde (during the day) more than on Bourbon. But spring is always when our outdoor music scene is the strongest - fingers crossed that we’ll be in a position for that to be true again in 2021.
You neglected to mention Al Hirt's statue. Jumbo was one of the greatest trumpeters to come out of New Orleans! Catch Pete Fountain and Al Hilton playing together on TH-cam...It's fantastic!!!
Andrew knows Al Hirt. This was one of the first videos we produced and we were just getting used to being succinct with our content. He just got sidetracked there.
Liked the tour. Brought me back to younger years. But I gotta ax (ask) you if you really didn't know who Al Hirt was??? He's in the park with Pete Fountain...
Hi Joe. Glad you liked the tour. I can assure you that Andrew knows who Al Hirt was and which statue he is. He just happened to mention the two on the outside.
Hey anyone remember the Strip Club that had the girls on a swing that swung out of a window onto Bourbon street. When I was little it was real ladies then it changed to mannequins sitting on the swings. There were always two. The good old days of NOLA. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
@@Gueygirl1 Thanks Sarah for the info. Going to bourbon as a kid with your family was like no big deal. Parents were way cooler then. We had to take family to see it whenever they visited from out of town. We did the French quarter tour that always ended with Cafe Du monde . That was the best part. ⚜️
When I used to live in New Orleans...when I grocery shopped at a Swegman's Grocery store, it was a nickle for a beer, while shopping! Imagine that! It's true!
Hi Dennis! Parts of the city are open with certain safety protocols. This was one of our first virtual videos so more things have reopened since the video but, like many places, we’re keeping an eye on changes each day.
Much has changed since Katrina - - and now the virus. Much remains the same. The best value for a visitor would be coming not for Mardi Gras but St. Patrick’s!

Are there really states in the USA where you can't drink alcohol in the passenger seat? Excellent tour - very knowledgeable guide and not an 'uuumm' to be heard :)
We don't have a video specifically talking about what's open and what's about to return. Things are changing rapidly, though it's safe to say that most things are now open. We did film this video on April 9th of Bourbon St. th-cam.com/video/vyD9ndDi_Cc/w-d-xo.html
I love New Orleans, it's music, it's food, it's voodo, it's stories in history, and the love of this city! I pray that it survives this climate change, because it's really bad what our country is going thru now! We must stop fracking and big oil, now! I want my birds chirping at my window when I wake up, and I want to see butterfly's in my garden with bee's buzzing around...I want to see Polar Bears in Ice Land, we MUST DO SOME THING NOW!
We're a bit worried too, especially since the land in New Orleans sits so low next to the water. Some of the most important historical moments in the history of our country took place in this city, and it would be sad to see places like the Cabildo under water. Thanks for the comment!
The Mrs. says: Way, way, to many counties, all you need for such a small area is an East County, a West County, a North County, a South County. A lot less paper work that's for sure and only four Mayors and Probably much better Law enforcement and more accountability on what's going on with each county.

Love these NOLA tours. I worked in the bars in the French Quarter from 1999-2013 and it’s kind of sad seeing everything all boarded up and closed
A lot of places were boarded up in preparation for a hurricane.....Louisiana was in the path of 8 named storms this season and 5 of them hit, quite a busy time! Some owners paid artists to paint on their boards for decoration.
I have been watching a live camera set up on the Cats meow karaoke bar and its all up and running now,...Strangely not for Fat Tuesday( Mardi Gras) but evening and weekends have been lively !
@@KalOrtPor ~ Those businesses were boarded up to protect them while they were closed for quarantine. From either hurricanes or ne'er do wells.
Andrew, New Orleans is a town in rich history and tradition!

Actually, Earl opened the first Tropical Isle on Toulouse Street off Bourbon, then the second one opened on Bourbon Street years later. I heard that the Toulouse Street bar closed since I last lived there, so the newer one on Bourbon is actually the third.
I was in New Orleans twice. Fun both times.
Agreed. You should visit a third time, Marica.
Thanks so much man!

Mysterious Puddle Street.
YEP!
Never seen the streets in the Quarter look so clean. Ha!
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, you are correct.
Reports have stated that since the pandemic started, food sources of the Quarter's rat population have dwindled, and the pesky rodents have been moving to outlying areas of the city to compensate for this.

You neglected to mention Al Hirt's statue. Jumbo was one of the greatest trumpeters to come out of New Orleans! Catch Pete Fountain and Al Hilton playing together on TH-cam...It's fantastic!!!
Andrew knows Al Hirt. This was one of the first videos we produced and we were just getting used to being succinct with our content. He just got sidetracked there.
Liked the tour. Brought me back to younger years. But I gotta ax (ask) you if you really didn't know who Al Hirt was??? He's in the park with Pete Fountain...
Hi Joe. Glad you liked the tour. I can assure you that Andrew knows who Al Hirt was and which statue he is. He just happened to mention the two on the outside.
Cafe beignet is the best place for beignets 👍😊
Many would agree with you. We created a post on this very topic that you might enjoy

Luv it 💓
Thanks for watching and for recommending us. We really appreciate that.
Vary Good!!!
Yay fritzels!
Thanks for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed watching it!
Hey anyone remember the Strip Club that had the girls on a swing that swung out of a window onto Bourbon street. When I was little it was real ladies then it changed to mannequins sitting on the swings. There were always two. The good old days of NOLA. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
Yep! It was called Big Daddy's. It was a New Orleans Icon since the 1950's. Many people on our tours recall it as one of their New Orleans memories.
@@Gueygirl1 Thanks Sarah for the info. Going to bourbon as a kid with your family was like no big deal. Parents were way cooler then. We had to take family to see it whenever they visited from out of town. We did the French quarter tour that always ended with Cafe Du monde . That was the best part. ⚜️
Yes! The swing!
The blacksmith shop is probably one of the most haunted . I would know , I lived in Chris Ownes building for about a year
Did you see any ghosts?
Excellent tour! Thanks. Do you give NOLA tours in person?
Andrew does. He is one of our main tour guides. He also offers private tours.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ That's good to know, my fiance and I are visiting New Orleans in the winter.
Me too. Asap
When I used to live in New Orleans...when I grocery shopped at a Swegman's Grocery store, it was a nickle for a beer, while shopping! Imagine that! It's true!
You must know how to get around safely. Ask the concierge at your hotel. He/she will give you a map of the safe areas.
Hi Andrew, I'm Dennis from Cleveland, Ohio. I heard New Orleans was shutdown 8 months ago!
Hi Dennis! Parts of the city are open with certain safety protocols. This was one of our first virtual videos so more things have reopened since the video but, like many places, we’re keeping an eye on changes each day.
How was your Thanksgiving, Andrew?
I’m glad I born and raised in Louisiana we have so much fun
Much has changed since Katrina - - and now the virus. Much remains the same. The best value for a visitor would be coming not for Mardi Gras but St. Patrick’s!
I used to go every year for my birthday
Glad that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
Nice

No Lafittes is the olds bar on burbon st
Are there really states in the USA where you can't drink alcohol in the passenger seat? Excellent tour - very knowledgeable guide and not an 'uuumm' to be heard :)
All these tours are about 2 years old, is Andrew still doing tours?
There was a new video of his out about 3 months ago
Royal is a much more interesting street. The convent hotel Bourbon Orleans is gorgeous inside the ballroom upstairs is stunning.
Mine and others tour was soured by the packs of Bro's trying to hustle and shake you down. Stalking
Do you have an updated video now that things are opened back up and Covid is not what it used to be?
We don't have a video specifically talking about what's open and what's about to return. Things are changing rapidly, though it's safe to say that most things are now open. We did film this video on April 9th of Bourbon St. th-cam.com/video/vyD9ndDi_Cc/w-d-xo.html
I love New Orleans, it's music, it's food, it's voodo, it's stories in history, and the love of this city! I pray that it survives this climate change, because it's really bad what our country is going thru now! We must stop fracking and big oil, now! I want my birds chirping at my window when I wake up, and I want to see butterfly's in my garden with bee's buzzing around...I want to see Polar Bears in Ice Land, we MUST DO SOME THING NOW!
We're a bit worried too, especially since the land in New Orleans sits so low next to the water. Some of the most important historical moments in the history of our country took place in this city, and it would be sad to see places like the Cabildo under water.
Thanks for the comment!
Yo make a tiktok out of that Chris Owens segment and you'll go so viral
Lol, reminds me of the movie Gypsy, “ You gotta have a gimmick”, burlesque girls.
Whats the vampire speak easy called? 😂
Ironically there are no smooth roads in New Orleans
Are the places boarded up because of COVID?
Yes, for the most part.
I would love to bring my granddoughter there to see it and would be grate to tast the food
We hope to show some good places to eat when you get here.
Did they clean the streets for the video?
No, but we filmed early in the morning and the city was relatively empty when we filmed in the summer of 2020.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ That is the cleanest I have ever seen Bourbon Street.
The Mrs. says: Way, way, to many counties, all you need for such a small area is an East County, a West County, a North County, a South County. A lot less paper work that's for sure and only four Mayors and Probably much better Law enforcement and more accountability on what's going on with each county.
Galatoire's opened in 1905, not 1909.
Thanks for the correction.
Andrew lookin like a snack. There I said it!
In Mississippi you can drink while driving as long as you can pass a breathe test.
Andrew's a babe.
You're not wrong..
No the French quarter start at Iberville st not canal st
Tropical Isle Bayou Club has Cajun Music not much Zydeco. There is a difference.
Would love to hear what your saying. Why don't you fix the sound.
There isn't anything to fix. I believe the issue is on your end.
It sounds okay from my iPhone
