Review & FAQ:
The Garden District is a historic neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. The neighborhood preserves one of the best collections of historic homes and mansions in the Southern United States. Historically, the area was once home to a number of plantations as well as to wealthy Americans.
Although the district gets its name from the large gardens that used to surround the homes, many of the lots were subdivided later on, and many of the gardens replaced with Victorian homes. Some neighborhood landmarks include the George Washington Cable House, the Ashe Sfard synagogue, and the Commander’s Place, which is one of the most famous restaurants in New Orleans.
