My family and I are going on a weekend trip to New Orleans and I am confused if Canal street is referring to Bourbon street. Is it the same?
not at all
Canal street is huge street with 3 lanes on each side and the street car in the middle, it has many shops, hotels and stores on both sides.
Bourbon street is a small but famous street because of all of the bars and strip clubs that have made it famous, at night portions of it are closed to vehicular traffic (no cars) and people stroll up and down it all night creating a parade of characters including tourists and locals that has to be seen to be explained. you can carry and drink alcohol while you walk as long as it’s not in a glass container.
I’d avoid the overpriced t shirt shops and strip clubs but you can find some good music and fun if you know where to look

Very vague I know… but I was down in NOrleans a month ago and every shop I went into had this upbeat song playing, and I can’t remember what it was… Just throwing it out there, not expecting much… If you guys know some catchy tunes from the big easy that might be it…
Yeah were words… by a guy… I said it was vague 
Could be any song. Was it When the saints go marching in….
It could be a zydeco, cajun music or it could be a Saints song. We need more information.

I don’t think there is anything like Bourbon Street or the French Quarter in Lafayette.
However, Bourbon is only one street in the FQ and the FQ is only a small part of New Orleans. NOLA has a lot more to do than just Bourbon Street and the French Quarter.

I want to take my girlfriend to New Orleans next month. I want to stay in a nice Hotel that overlooks Bourbon street with a balcony. Is bourbon street the only place where you can do this. I have never been so i need some Hotel names that have balconies to people watch/pass out beads etc. Thanks

2 years ago I bought a drink book in New Orleans. I lost it, and I need to get another one. I dont remember the title, i think it was Bourbon Street Bartender or something along those lines. It is a paperback book, small, purple cover and about 200 different drinks in it. It is not New Orleans Bartender, that is a different book. Can you help my find the title and or ISBN number of the book I’m talking about?
I think this is the one you’re talking about, but this is the only site I’ve found it listed. It’s only 36 pages so probably falls under the heading of booklet rather than book and seems to be more of a souvenir type item than book per se. At least you can see if it’s the same one. The title is indeed Bourbon Street Bartender. I didn’t try the contact links but that might be worth a shot. I note the calendar they offer is from 2008.
