The Garden District is a charming New Orleans neighborhood that is known for its ornate, gorgeous 19th-century architecture, originally designed in 1806 as a Greek Revival-influenced open district connecting a series of interlocking parks and canals. The district's streets still bear names related to Greek mythology, with many original Greek Revival and Italianate houses and businesses still standing. Boutiques and antique stores line Magazine Street, while beautiful live oaks populate Coliseum Square and the historic 19th-century Lafayette Cemetery. Fine dining establishments, quaint cafes, and popular local nightlife spots are also showcased throughout the district, keeping it lively and active throughout the late-night hours.
