Review:

Jackson Square is an historic park within New Orleans' French Quarter, best known as the site of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The park was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and has served as a major filming location for feature films and television series throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. As one of New Orleans' top visitor attractions, the square faces the Mississippi River and is surrounded by historic landmarks such as the city's St. Louis Cathedral and Cabildo and Presbytere Louisiana State Museums. Retail shops, restaurants, and art galleries are offered at the Pontalba Apartments, while an open-air artist colony within the square features local portrait drawers, caricature artists, and other artisans.
