Frenchmen Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frenchmen Street is a street in the 7th Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana.

The most famous section of Frenchmen Street is a short section in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood, just down river from French Quarter, with some of the city's most popular live music venues, including Snug Harbor, in addition to restaurants, bars, and other businesses.

Frenchmen Street runs from the intersection with Esplanade Avenue just inland from the Mississippi, back to the Gentilly neighborhood.

Jelly Roll Morton's childhood home is on Frenchmen Street one block riverwards from Claiborne Avenue.
