Located within walking distance of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Frenchmen Street is where the locals go to listen to live music. The street is also home to the Frenchmen Art Market, which is an excellent place to find authentic local art. The music clubs here are some of the best in the city, and they play almost every genre imaginable.

Admission to the clubs is typically cheap or even free, but it's a good idea to give the bands a generous tip. There are also plenty of restaurants on Frenchmen Street, many of which are open late.
