Beyond Bourbon Street, an Insider’s Guide to New Orleans
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
Today’s show was recorded live at the King Cake Hub in New Orleans.
My guest is Peggy Scott Laborde, the Senior Producer at WYES and host of Steppin' Out, the only weekly television show about New Orleans culture and arts. We talk about Mardi Grsas past and present, and answer some audience questions.
Beyond Bourbon Street SponsorsTwo Chicks Walking Tours If you love New Orleans, you’ve probably wandered through the Garden District. It is beautiful, but it really comes to life when you have a guide who can tell you about the history and about the people who live there.
On a Two Chicks Walking tour you learn about the architecture, the residents and more. You also get to tour Lafayette Cemetery, just across the street from Commander’s Palace.
Two Chicks keeps their tour groups small and offers a more intimate experience than most. You’ll have time to ask your questions and really walk away getting an insider’s perspective of the Garden District.
Two Chicks also offers tours of St. Louis Cemetery #1 and the Ladies of the Night tour. Whatever you choose, know you will be in great hands and will have a wonderful time. Use code BEYOND and save 15%. twochickswalkingtours.com
