Carrollton
Where the St. Charles streetcar bends at the river and the address becomes Riverbend, Carrollton trades Garden District grandeur for a more lived-in version of the same uptown idea. Oak Street is the spine: Jacques-Imo's, Cooter Browns, Maple Leaf on Tuesdays for Rebirth. Tulane and Loyola are a streetcar ride down the line, so the bars skew younger than the shotgun-house blocks suggest. A Carrollton date reads as casual local rather than performance French Quarter, with the honest tradeoff that parking is a sport and Oak Street is the whole scene.
