DESCRIPTION

Sometimes, caught in the excitement and energy of Downtown New Orleans, it’s easy to forget that America’s greatest river is rushing by just a stone’s throw away. In the Riverfront neighborhood, locals and visitors alike can look out over the river, shop at the Riverwalk Marketplace, or visit any number of the museums, restaurants and attractions that call the Riverfront home. The neighborhood is also home to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, a gathering place for thousands of visitors every year.
