NOLA Beyond the Conference Center

So you’re headed to New Orleans for Catersource and you want to see what’s beyond the meeting room walls? We want you to explore too! While the historic French Quarter is a well-known icon, New Orleans has a wealth of unique neighborhoods each with their own personality, culinary style and colorful highlights.

When you have a break from sessions, take a walk through the Warehouse/Arts District. Just steps from the Convention Center, this colorful neighborhood is home to art galleries, chic restaurants and cocktail bars housed in former warehouses, plus coffee shops, hotels and more.

Jump on the streetcar to follow the oak-lined curves of St. Charles Avenue from Downtown to Uptown, through the Garden District and into the Carrollton neighborhood; or hop on a ferry to cross the Mississippi River to explore historic Algiers.
