Review:
Bayou St. John is a quaint, walkable neighborhood of New Orleans framed by Esplanade Avenue and the Lafitte Greenway.
Eclectic, locally owned boutiques and trendy cafes, restaurants and bars are tucked away in this picturesque neighborhood with oak-tree lined streets.
Walk along Esplanade Avenue past the historic 1852 Edgar Degas House, where the French Impressionist spent a year between 1872 and 1873. Bayou St. John is named in part for the waterway that frames one end of the neighborhood. Get on the water by renting a paddleboard or kayak, take a yoga class or enjoy a picnic on the grassy shores.
