Esplanade Ave
Frenchman Street
Esplanade Ave
 

Esplanade Ave separates the French Quarter from Faubourg Marigny.  The street is split by lush neutral ground where it appears just as many people walk down it as they do on the sidewalks.

On the edge of Faubourg Marigny (across from the U.S. Mint)is the Dragon's Den (orange building)--a venue that features a wide variety of music.
