All aboard!! Hitch a ride on the Steamboat Natchez Riverboat and cruise around the Toulouse Street Wharf harbor and the Mississippi River to see the city's attractions from the water. The cruises are accompanied by a jazz band, "Dukes of Dixieland" and food is available for hungry passengers.
Spend an evening at the oldest jazz club in New Orleans, Fritzel's European Jazz Club. The club is located in the heart of the French Quarter and offers live shows almost every night of the week. Fritzel's has been open since 1969 and has a reputation for being a "home away from home" for many jazz musicians. Visit the nightlife destination and learn the stuff of a true New Orleans music venue.
