Treme
From there, we walk through the historic Faubourg Tremé neighborhood, sharing highlights of its charming architecture, vibrant street life, and cultural landmarks.
Along the way, we’ll spotlight a few of Tremé’s “do not miss” food stops, and wrap up our tour at the beloved Lil Dizzy’s—famous for its warm hospitality and classic Creole fare. With its local businesses, rich traditions, and “Main Street USA” feel, Tremé offers a heartbeat of New Orleans you won’t forget.
