00:30What's going on everybody, this is Jeff with IslandHopperTV and today we are going to explore

00:38the French Quarter of Narlins, also known as NOLA.

00:43So we're going to explore Decatur, Frenchman Street, Royal.

00:49This here is Royal and St. Peter and there's a lot of things to see and do in the French

00:54Quarter as you're about to discover, more so than just Bourbon Street.

00:59I mean the French Quarter is huge, it is a big, huge walking area and when you come

01:07to New Orleans you're going to have to spend quite a bit of time, if you want, exploring

01:15all of the intricacies of the French Quarter.

01:20I also wanted to give you guys a little bit of a history on New Orleans, or Mardi Gras,

01:28which means Fat Tuesday.

01:31It's a religious festival that takes place in February or March and that's what Mardi

01:39Gras is, Fat Tuesday.

01:43Now you know when you go to Fat Tuesday restaurant what you're dealing with and you've got many

01:48different things.

01:51You've got those cool people there.

01:59Lots of street performers.

02:02We will also show you guys around Bourbon Street.

02:06Now bear in mind, it is the afternoon, so the way it looks down here in the afternoon

02:11and at night, two totally different things.

02:13And it is just a Tuesday.

02:17So, Tuesday afternoon in the French Quarter.

02:23If I go this way a little bit more, that will take me to Decatur and I'll also end up near

02:30the Mississippi River.

02:32If I go that way, that's just downtown, the business district.

02:36So let's go ahead and keep this tour going.

02:40Alright, so, this is Decatur Street.

02:49Now, one of the things I will say, New Orleans in the 1800s was the third largest city in

02:57America.

02:58But, because of flooding, it has come under siege.

03:04Many of you already know what happened in 2004 with Hurricane Katrina.

03:09But the erosion of the New Orleans coastline has been going on for a long time.

03:16It is a part of the Mississippi River Delta.

03:20And, combined with the fact that it is already swamp land, the Mississippi River Delta, and

03:29the ocean just keeps eating away at the flat marshland.

03:32That is what keeps New Orleans on its toes.

03:38So, it does flood here.

03:41Lots of water.

03:43Tidal surge is real around New Orleans.

03:50Or, as they like to call it around here, NOLA.

03:54If I keep going that way, I go to Bourbon Street.

03:59I want to keep taking you guys up and down.

04:02We are on Decatur.

04:06This is Jackson Square.

04:23I'll show you guys Jackson Square real quick.

04:39Bananas.

04:42Banana.

04:54Banana.

05:07So, here you go.

05:08St. Ann in Decatur.

05:10The only other city that kind of reminds me of this place is Key West.

05:17Key West has a little bit of a similar vibe to this here.

05:24So, I went up to Decatur.

05:27I'll add in the market tour.

05:31There is a market up there.

07:07And, here we are at the French Market.

07:21It's on Frenchman Street.

07:37Wow.

07:58That's some pretty good art right there.

08:07It's a beautiful day in Louisiana today.

08:35Look at this.

08:48What do we got here?

08:53Oh, some drinks.

08:55Gator Head.

09:00Apple Bainette.

09:08Let's see.

09:16Oh, they got oyster and shrimp.

09:21Look.

09:22Might just have to do some oyster and shrimp.

09:25Oh, boys.

09:34You guys do oyster?

09:35No.

09:36No?

09:37Okay.

09:38Not right now.

09:39Okay.

09:42So, Seinehan and Chartas.

09:53By the way, there are better French pronunciations for most of these words.

10:02But,

10:04I only know c'est la vie.

10:06Bonjour.

10:20A few other words.

10:34Like I said earlier, the French Quarter is really, it's pretty big.

10:40It's not just some one road.

11:03This is a nice street because it's got lots of vegetation on Royal Street.

11:09Let's go cruise Royal Street real quick.

11:11Before we go to Louis Armstrong.

11:25Oh, hey.

11:26We're in the Big Easy.

11:28Bourbon Street.

11:3110 in the morning.

11:57Let's go.

12:28Damn, there's sailors.

12:29There's sailors everywhere.

12:58Hello.

13:23Okay.

13:27Let's go.

13:57Everything okay?

13:59What happened over there?

14:06Alright, I'm going down to Frenchman Quarter.

14:10Frenchman Street.

14:14So, let's keep cruising here on Orleans Street.

14:27Let's go.

14:58This is a main drag, though.

15:03And this main drag is called...

15:13Canal Street.

15:15So, this here is Canal Street.

15:19And,

15:21Canal Street.

15:24So, this here is Canal Street.

15:44I'd say Canal Street separates the French Quarter from downtown.

15:50Let's go.

16:09Go ahead.

16:12Alright, everybody.
