Garden District
The Garden District is the date you bring out when you want the city to do the work for you. Streetcar clatter on St. Charles, mansions doing their slow Faulkner impression, and Magazine Street a short walk south for the dinner that closes the deal. It reads sincere without trying, which is the trick. The tradeoff: rents track the postcard, parking on a Saturday is a small humiliation, and after-ten options thin out unless you cab to Uptown or the Quarter. Best for candidates who want romance unembarrassed by itself, and don't mind paying the oak-tree premium.
