New Orleans Creole History and Culture Bike Ride — Marigny & Bywater Guided Tour

You push off from a patch of sun beneath century-old oaks, the spokes humming like a small orchestra. Frenchmen Street leaks saxophone from an open doorway; the air tastes faintly of coffee, frying oil and something sweet from a bakery two blocks away. Guides Jeff and Danny fall into the easy cadence of conversation—who lived here, who played here, what the streets remember—and the city obliges, offering façades, porches and murals that supply their anecdotes.
