In addition to stunning architecture, visitors can find shopping and dining, including Commander’s Palace, a


New Orleans landmark since 1893. Tremé: “Many consider the Tremé to be the


cultural heart of New Orleans, and the neighborhood’s contributions to the American arts can be witnessed in disciplines from dance to music to architectural design. Te Tremé celebrates its history and heritage with museums, tours and landmarks dedicated to preserving one of the United States’ oldest African-American neighborhoods,” according to the CVB. “Louis Armstrong Park is the neighborhood’s


dominant landmark, and within its gates you’ll find the March 2017 | 11


legendary Congo Square where enslaved, free African Americans, Europeans and Americans came together throughout the 18th and 19th centuries on Sundays to drum, dance and trade. African dance, rhythms and drum beats survived despite oppression and contributed to the first forms of jazz music and modern American dance.” For more information on attractions, arts and
