Mid-City
The neighborhood locals name when they want to sound less touristy than the Marigny crowd. Bayou St. John handles the slow Sunday picnics, City Park handles the daytime dates that accidentally last six hours, and the Canal streetcar handles everyone pretending they don't need a car. Eating and drinking lean neighborhood-joint over scene: Liuzza's, Pagoda, Twelve Mile Limit. The tradeoff: it's geographically inconvenient to almost everything except itself, which is exactly why the people who live here like it. Good for second dates, bad for anyone needing the night to peak before midnight.
