Places in New Orleans to visit
Faulkner House Books: 624 Pirates Alley, between Royal and Chartres streets in the French Quarter; (504) 524-2940, https://www.wordsandmusic.org
Williams’ apartment: 632 St. Peter St. A plaque marks the home in which Tennessee Williams wrote “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1946.
The French Quarter: best savored on foot. Besides walking tours, horse-drawn carriage rides also provide informative journeys through the narrow streets.
The St. Charles streetcar: a good way for visitors to rest their weary feet while enjoying a trip from Canal Street to Uptown, past stately homes and Loyola and Tulane universities.
