Didnt go here until the last night, wish we had found it sooner, jazz and bars excellent. Was warned you have to be careful in the area though.

the place to go to hear good music at reasonable prices- Frenchmen Street- really enjoyed Spotted Cat
This was where you could go and sit in a bar a listen to blue's and jazz. We found our way here late one night and sit and listened to music for hours and even got up for a dance. Enjoyed this very much.
Great food and music --- Love the Spotted Cat the music there was fantastic and very friendly staff.
We loved this area so much, live jazz everywhere. This is the place to go after dinner (that's when we went) to top off your evening. Just walk from place to place with a short stop at each. They will even let you bring your drinks as you go, the best
best to take cab to this area and be careful after midnight ... but great bars and restaurants every bar has some form of real new Orleans's style jazz bands (usually) no cover charges... wonderful evening here lots of fun. Not as crowded as bourbon st
You can walk on Frenchman Street and enjoy so much jazz music without even going into some of the jazz bars but you you do go in you on't have the cover charge or minimums that you have on Bourbon Street
You have to stop here! We decided pretty late in the evening to make our way over and it did not disappoint! The art market was a great surprise, the music was great, the food was yummy(try the deep fried pickles at ruthies bar!) and the prices were cheaper than in the French Quarter. Live music came from all directions...

This street is very small, with lots of little dive bars that were packed. The music was also more indy than jazzy. Most people were in there early 20's and seemed like they were there for the scene more than the music.
We heard about this street from one of the restaurants - WOW what a great treat. It's a street filled with Jazz venues. We had dinner at Maison and listened to Jazz music there for 2 hours. It was so wonderful we had to buy their 2 CD's. We'd go back again.
