Are you a big history buff? The Warehouse/Arts District is home to fantastic museums. The National WWII Museum (best-rated attraction in New Orleans on TripAdvisor) and the Confederate Memorial Hall Museum are neighborhood icons.

The Warehouse/Arts District is also home to some of the Big Easy’s most iconic restaurants including Emeril Lagasse’s newest restaurant, Meril and John Besh’s award-winning flagship eatery, August.

If you are looking for a little more casual fare, there is lots on offer in the Warehouse/Arts district. Tackle the Croque Monster, a massive grilled cheese sandwich at St. James Cheese Company for lunch, enjoy the best Mexican food and tequila in the city at El Gato Negro right across the street or dig into a charcuterie plate over at Cochon Butcher.

The Mercantile Hotel New Orleans is a three-minute walk to the New Orleans Convention Center, the cruise ship terminal, Harrods Casino and the Outlet Collection at Riverfront: an enormous mall featuring shops from all your favorite national retailers.

We are near the final stop of the Riverfront streetcar which is a fun and inexpensive way to explore Mississippi Riverfront attractions. It will take you to famous attractions like the French Market and Frenchman Street in historic style.
