- In this video, Andrew with Free Tours by Foot walks through the neighborhood where New Orleans' history as an American city began, the Central Business District. MORE NEW ORLEANS VIDEOS - • New Orleans Virtual Tours .
One of the major areas for visitors to stay and the home of the National World War II Museum and other great spaces for history and art, this neighborhood still gets overshadowed by the French Quarter next door.
Today we give it its moment in the spotlight.
Put on your headphones or listen in stereo if you can because this was recorded using binaural microphones to make it sound like you are hearing the street sounds live.

We just stayed in the Old No. 77! Explored this whole area, we loved it!
Thanks for the Mardi Gras shout out to Mobile, Alabama.
You got it.
Ok,it's late,but I'm RITE there with Yaz, Andrew!
I have to ask, are you using notes or is this wealth of information coming from just a love of the city and all it encompasses? I have a distinct feeling you’re not using notes so I’m impressed! Andrew you’re turning yourself into a New Orleans treasure. We all appreciate you and all you share. Thank you.
Only to make sure that he has the right route own. Other than that, Andrew doesn't use any notes. It's the result of endless reading and a curious mind.
I knew it! Lol, the facts flow so smoothly when he’s discussing even the sidewalks! Andrew is a New Orleans historian and the city is lucky to have him.
I visited New Orleans 3 weeks ago. I binged a ton of Andrews “Free Tours by Foot” vids and I was prepared for my week visit. Glad I did too. I did not mind the party goers, weed smoke, homeless, noise or filthy Bourbon St. hahaha Why? Because I was well prepared to visit thanks to these videos and I had much more to explore than just Bourbon St (which is still awesome!)
I fell in love with this city and it has called to me everyday after I left that I am returning in two months. ❤️❤️❤️
Nola fever. Glad our videos were valuable for you.
Amorino Gelateria = the best Gelato outside of Florence. Your perfect pronunciation of French is impressive and appreciated. The WWII Museum is my favorite of all the National Museums and I'm so glad that it found it's home in NOLA.
Awesome place for an awesome walk!
It really is!
Iam now thinking about doing this in my small city. Thanks, Andrew is awesome!🙂🙂

What is your background that has lead you to such a wide, rich history of New Orleans? Your tours are so addictive I might have to find a 12 step program to not watch them all the time!
Lovely presentation.
Hey, thank you Rayanne! I come from a linguistics and performance background, but there are fortunately all kinds of ways to learn about New Orleans - between the books, museum exhibits, talks, etc., plus the lived culture of today in terms of food, music, festivals, and the historic events happening in front of us, there's really more than a person can keep up with. So appreciate you watching!
New Orleans es hermoso, amo esta ciudad. Con frecuencia la visito. Gracias por éste vídeo, un saludo desde Costa Rica.
Outstanding tour as always. I was thrilled to see the Italian Plaza and here is why. January 1991 a video of the leads of the legendary Temptations was filmed there. One of the last video performances of David Ruffin and Eddie Kendrick talking about their careers and singing. Thank you. Very accessible description for those of us with low vision thank you
Thanks as always for watching and contributing.

Possibly or probably on a tour of Esplanade Ave, which is something in the planning stages. Hope to have it ready before you make your trip here.
Great tour. Took in some that area on my last visit 👍🇺🇸

Oh I love your videos, they make me so happy you are an awesome thats why, my dog is listening too💜🌻🐝🦮🐞😇🥑🐕🦺🐾🌲🐈❤
You are so kind.
Another great video! Love the new sound program. I actually hear the background noises (not distracting). I keep looking over my shoulder for the people with footsteps behind you, the voices of the neighborhood and the traffic noise. Felt like I was really there with you! I will be in NOLA for Christmas, so appreciate your videos.
It's a strange sensation, right?
Andrew also used this special microphone in his 4K walk of the French Quarter th-cam.com/video/8TXVYCIwE_I/w-d-xo.html
Been to WW2 museum 4 times and can't wait to see again.🇺🇸
Thanks again for watching our video Marvin! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
When I visited New Orleans in 2016, I stayed at the hotel at St. Charles and Poydras. The name has changed since then, I see. I would look out my hotel window to see Lafayette Square. I had the best eggs Benedict in their restaurant. Instead of English muffins, it was set atop fried green tomatoes. Mind blown!
Could not figure out how to leave a tip.
But, I love the dingy!!
Magazine Pizza fer shore Y,all
Why are your eyes so red?😆
Andrew assures us it's just how his eyes are.

Andrew, please pan slower. Thank you.
Noted!
Very badd narrator. Camera and narrative along with mumbling. He talks about one building and shows the opposite side of the street.
You look blazed bro
I was there a week ago today and I can tell you it's nothing but a bunch of poor people and party people a bunch of weed smoking people and a few Old-Timers like myself
Good day Andrew😊
Thank you for so many happy moments.
You and Robbie are Nola stars to me.
Sincerely 💙🤍💚

39:39 The building was originally a post office. My dad had a walking mail route serving the French quarter based from there
This was a very nice tour of an area that doesn't get much attention.
Thanks for the comment!

Love Mothers red beans and rice. Enjoyed the dead horse story, lol. Andrew, I'm so impressed by your manners when you step off the sidewalk to let ladies pass. I'm old fashioned.
Just a good southern boy!
I love all the information. I am from Louisiana and never knew all this information. Thank you!

You could probably do a fantastic video about the theaters in the city.
Agreed. It's something we are considering.
In NOLA right now on vacation- will be checking this area out tomorrow morning

Andrew, have you ever considered doing a documentary? You know a lot of details about New Orleans past that would actually be interesting in a documentary format. For instance, the Native American trade routes and interaction with the French and Spanish settlers. You have a great voice for that type of project.
This is an idea that could be part of a membership we are thinking of rolling out. One of our guides produces documentaries - but they cost much more than TH-cam ads could support :(.
Oh my kid and I love when you bring your voodoo friend , I forgot his name, we love u too though 🔥🌻🐾🚒💛🐕🥑🐈🇮🇹
Then too, I've been rewatching the old TV series, 'The Big Easy,'' again. I always search for familiar landmarks.
And I just read a book about the early housebuilders. "Building Antebellum New Orleans. Free People of Color and their Influence." By Tara A Dudley. ©2021
I fell in love with the city in 2020 during Mardi Gras ! It was where I celebrated my 50th birthday. I’ll be back when Covid19 hits the road .
I’ll be there in a few weeks ! So cool that the video opened with my favorite church! It’ll be my first stop.
New Orleans looks gorgeous! I Was supposed to travel their earlier this year but cancelled due to covid
We hope you get a chance to visit soon. Look us up when you do.
Thanx,somuch4walkng,4us bounded bitches. We lovtha tours de France Orleans?!...
I saw the WW2 Museum in 2014. It's the reason I want to go back to New Orleans!

Great vid as always Andrew and shout out to Robi and James! This is literally a tour of where I usually stay over 90% of the time I'm there. Book as early as possible for everything (hotel, parking or transportation) to save cash on your trip
Glad you enjoyed the video, Terry. And thanks for the tips.
Great video. You guys are a great asset to the city!
Thanks for watching, Shane!

We were in New Orleans for 6 days in October 2023 for those interested we found some great restaurants:
1) Gallier's Restaurant & Oyster Bar - great charbroiled oysters! 2) Oceana Grill - love the charbroiled oysters there also as well as The Taste of New Orleans.
3) Blue Oak BBQ - great wings, brisket and pulled pork.
4) Vacherie - great egg sandwiches for breakfast.
5) Antoine's Restaurant - super expensive but a nice place to dine. We had oysters and shrimp & grits.
For those who want to hear jazz, we went to Maison Bourbon twice. No charge to enter but you must buy a drink every set and should tip the band when they come around with the tip jar. Enjoy!
Glad that you enjoyed your visit to NOLA. Thanks for sharing your list of restaurants. A lot of viewers and tourists look for similar piece of information before their visit. This will help them a lot.

thanks for another great tour, Can't wait to come back.
Our pleasure!
Your 'dweebie' look is actually hot!
2:20 Marilyn Monroe favorite hotel. She liked to stay in the room overlooking the pool
7:00 Lee Harvey Oswald was filmed passing out flyers for Cuba on the street corner and was arrested there too
Side note: If you go up to the Hotel Royal Sonesta is where the Grateful Dead was "busted on Bourbon Street" from there song Trucking.
Side note: Congo square. The old jail (the real old one not there anymore). 1891 New Orleans lynching. 11 Italians were hung and hunted down one night. The biggest lynching in Americas history. As retribution to Italians they made Columbus Day a national holiday. 1321 Orleans Ave, New Orleans, LA 70116. I believe this is the old jail location, after hours of research.

Hopefully free tours by foot will end up with other cities and states. Would love to see wisconsin, Arizona, florida, Texas, north and south dakota, Minnesota, wyoming
Did you take any of our tours in New Orleans, Amber?
Thanks for the very informative video. I'm staying near Lafayette Square in September this year and can't wait to explore this area with my wife! I was last there in 2013 and stayed on 'Choppatulis' street - without ever getting the pronunciation right! 😂

LOL where Dennis Quaid arrives to view the body at the beginning of "The Big Easy". So it made a great movie set:):) (Piazza d'Italia) TY for another great walk around!
Thanks again for watching Antz!
I'm having a lot of fun rewatching and listening to the built history of NOLA. You have a documentarian's voice. Comfortable to listen to.

Andrew, I can’t hear what street you are on sometimes. I have been to NOLA several times. I enjoyed it so much I would like to move there.
Thanks again for watching Daniel! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Henry Clay of the 3/5 compromise gets center stage! Now that’s a very sad commentary!
Another great tour video
Thanks again!

We just returned from New Orleans. We stayed at the Roosevelt and frankly found Canal Street somewhat terrifying. : 0 ( I wish they would do something about the street people. Investing in housing and treating the homeless population would benefit the city, imo.
Also, what is with having no public bathrooms and no businesses allowing you to use theirs even when you're spending money in them? We were literally forced to leg it back to our hotel every time we needed a quick bathroom break. IMO, that's unacceptable. We would have explored more and definitely spent more $$ had we been allowed to use a restroom while we were out. New Orleans could learn a thing or 10 from Vegas with respect to being visitor friendly.
Hi Leslie. Many places were not allowed to offer public restrooms unless the health inspector had ok'd them for Covid compliance. The city should have done something to accommodate visitors better. Things have recently changed though.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ We went from May 19th - May 23rd. There was quite literally nowhere to use a restroom unless you were sitting down to eat at a full service restaurant or at your hotel. You can only eat so much during the day and even places like Subway, Smoothie King or CVS...all places we spent money would not allow you into their restrooms. Our hotel required a key card to get into the lobby bathrooms so I assume that's the norm with other hotels too. I've never seen anything so insane in my life.
I wanted to love it, but I don't think my bladder could take it again. LOL.... : 0 ) Vegas or anywhere where businesses allow you to use a bathroom or places that provide public restrooms are a much more attractive bet when it comes to travel. Why spend thousands to be told to "hold it" for hours on end if you want to explore?
@@backyardbreeze112 they must’ve not liked you because I never have that issue. 🤷🏽♂️ go back to Vegas.
Im staying in the Warehouse district because it's between the French Quarter and the Garden District. Is it safe to walk at night coming from the French Quarter or should I just take Uber?
Many people walk it. You will be fine. Just be alert.
My mom lived in New Orleans since I was 6.
Love these video tours of New Orleans!
I was born there 1960
Do a tour of Algiers and the role it played in the military

I'll bet you $100 this guy drinks a ton of soy
Ruenstein's. Godchaux's and Holmes were such quality shops.
Just re-watched this , and I didn't notice Barcadia, I love pinball and went to the site to now see it permanently closed and OSO is there...Is there anywhere in the French Quarters/not so far away within walking distance to find a pinball machine/s?
"Ya'll", this is defiantly one of my country people, if anybody going to know what it's about, it's him, another great video.
