Faubourg Marigny in the News

American Planning Association Designates

Faubourg Marigny

One of the Top 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009

The American Planning Association announced today that the Faubourg Marigny has been designated one of 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009 by APA’s Great Places in America program.

“We are truly honored to have been chosen as a Great Neighborhood” President of FMIA Chris Costello noted, “our residents work hard to keep our neighborhood friendly and open to visitors while sharing everything there is to offer in its unique sense of place, local citizen activism, historic architecture with social and cultural diversity.”

Through Great Places in America, APA recognizes unique and authentic characteristics found in three essential components of all communities: streets, neighborhoods and public spaces. APA Great Places offer better choices for where and how people work and live every day, places that are enjoyable, safe and desirable. Such places are defined by many characteristics, including architectural features, accessibility, functionality and community involvement. Read more

Taxicab from the Airport

Here's what I do: As soon as I have all my baggage, I call United Cab, 504-522-9771. They get my name and my location (in front of baggage claim of my airline) and give me the number of the cab which has been ordered. I walk out the nearest door, cross the first lanes of traffic to the neutral ground (median). The cab is there very fast; we check that my name and his cab number match. Charge is $33 for one or two persons, $42 for 3, $56 for 4. As a courtesy to the many B&B's in the Marigny rectangle, United Cab does not charge extra for crossing Elysian Fields (as most companies do).

 Public Transportation from the Airport

The Airport Express Bus E2 leaves the airport about every 15 minutes and costs $1.60 exact fare. It takes about 45 minutes to the Central Business District, Loyola and Tulane Ave (www.jeffersontransit.org). [Katrina update: The E2 only goes to Carrollton and Tulane on weekends now, where you have to transfer to the Tulane bus to Loyola Ave. It therefore takes quite a bit longer than before all in all! Also, E2 no longer runs as often. Check the web site!] From there you can call and I can usually pick you up. If not, you would walk 2 blocks to Canal and N. Rampart and take the St. Claude bus to St. Roch (about 5 minutes), only 2 blocks from the B&B.

If You Arrive by Train

Taxicab from the Train/Bus Station costs approx. $10 (metered fare).
