im in new orleans now, we’ve hit some of the places you suggested.. but i still can’t seem to find how to get to village l’est , the open air market sounds really interesting… how far is it from french market?

It’s about 13 miles from the French Market. If you do a google map search for “Village de L’Est”. This neighborhood is one part of the city that came back quickly. But, you will see some areas that are untouched along the way. The market is usually a weekend thing, pretty early. I think they open at sunrise. I’ve been there around 7 am. I heard it’s pretty much over by 9 or 10 am.

If you miss that, we have a Farmer’s Market that runs on Tuesday and Saturday. Do a Google for Crescent City Farmer’s Market for locations and times.

There is a movie being filmed in town. Yesterday, they were by Audubon Park.
