500 Powder St

Brightly painted Victorians with lacy, wrought-iron balconies, charming shotgun houses with wide porches, and colorful Creole cottages rest beside brick-lined walkways shaded by oak and palm trees. Nestled along the Mississippi River, Algiers Point looks a lot like the French Quarter, but this New Orleans neighborhood is lesser known to tourists. In fact, Algiers Point is often called the "best-kept secret in New Orleans." Algiers Point is NOLA’s second oldest neighborhood and is known for being home to the nation’s oldest ferry lines. To this day, Algiers Point takes locals and visitors across the river to the French Quarter every 30 minutes. However, there is so much more to this charming neighborhood than a scenic ferry ride.

Similar to other NOLA neighborhoods, Algiers Point has incredible restaurants, art galleries, local shops, and a vibrant nightlife scene. Admire one-of-a-kind pieces at Algiers Folk Art Zone and Blues Museums or hear some music at Old Point Bar.
