N7 is a hidden gem of a restaurant and one of our favorites. Tucked away off Montegut Street, it has a charming courtyard, an excellent wine list, and a French- and Japanese-inpsired menu that is always delicious. Reservations recommended on weekends.

Bywater Stuff to Do

Crescent Park runs along the Mississippi River for the length of our neighborhood. It's a lovely place to take a walk, bike ride, or just have a picnic. There are two entrances to the park in our neighborhood: (1) the rusty rainbow bridge at Piety and Chartres street or (2) at the wharf crossing at Pauline and Chartres. Both have free public parking. A third entrance/exit at Marigny and N. Peters street will put you within a few blocks of the French Quarter. (The Pauline and Marigny entrance/exits are both handicap accessible.)
