abstract:Faubourg Marigny (recently being referred to by new residents as The Marigny) is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. A subdistrict of the Bywater District Area, its boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are: North Rampart Street and St.
We spent some time in the lively Bywater and Faubourg Marigny areas to hear local musicians performing in clubs and drinking places.

Franklin Street marks the official boundary where FaubourgMarigny gives way to bohemian Bywater, and like most neighbourhoods in New Orleans, the line between slightly dodgy and do-not-walk-here-at-night begins to blur.
The FaubourgMarigny neighborhood, just a few blocks away from the French Quarter, is home to a cosmopolitan mix of immigrants and working class, artists and musicians, along with some of the best-preserved architecture in New Orleans.
