Night presses close along the French Quarter as the group gathers on the corner by Tropical Isle — the hum of Bourbon Street softens to a background beat and the guide begins. Footsteps fall on worn brick; gaslamps and neon throw mixed light across ironwork balconies. The Mississippi, a dark ribbon to the south, seems to dare you toward its banks between stops.
