Today, Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast - http://www.avenueinnbb.com offers visitors an opportunity to sample the style, grace and ambience of another time in one of 17 beautifully appointed rooms.
Inside the mansion you will find highly polished hardwood floors, antiques that depict the period and high ceilings that compliment the spaciousness of the mansion.
The guest rooms include standard, deluxe and suites and each one is carefully decorated and emote a feeling of luxury. Each room has its own private bath and is also provided with telphone and voicemail and cable TV.
Each morning a complimentary continental breakfast is available in the dining room or on the veranda. What a wonderful way to start your day!
There are streetcar stops nearby and within minutes of the Inn you can be walking the streets of the French Quarter - http://frenchquarter.neworleans.com/ experiencing all that's available from Riverwalk shops, riverboat rides, numerous bistros and speciality shops to the many restaurants, pubs and nightspots on Bourbon and Canal Streets.
One of my favorite places in New Orleans is the Cafe du Monde - http://www.cafedumonde.com/. Established in 1862, the cafe serves the best coffee in town and if you're not familiar with a sugar pastry called a "beignet", be sure to stop by if you're in the city or check out their website. You can order the mix online and make up your own beignets and I promise, you won't be sorry!
The French Quarter retains its European ambience and is rich in French and Spanish history and architecture. Add to that the flavor of the Creole influence and you have the makings of a very special as well as mysterious city.
A visit to the French Market, established in 1791, operates 24 hours a day and not far from the market you'll find the Louisiana State Museum, a must see if you're interested in music.
For enthusiasts of beautiful architecture and iron balconies, a tour of Rue Royal street houses some of the most beautiful and intricate work to be seen.
Whatever your reason for visiting New Orleans, becoming accquainted with the history of the Crescent City, enjoying fine food, sampling delectable pastries and lodging at a truly splendid bed and breakfast will make your visit well worthwhile.
