Dear Subscriber,

Let me pass along a secret. Summer in the French Quarter has its way cool side. In fact, July and August may be the coolest time of the year to enjoy the Quarter. Things move a little slower, crowds are a little thinner, but the clubs, restaurants, attractions, galleries and shops are livelier than ever. Fun in the French Quarter knows no season. So go ahead. Come on down. Let FrenchQuarter.com show you all the coolest places…

The Real Thing: French Quarter Jazz Showcases Jazz lives large in New Orleans and it comes out to play in the French Quarter each and every night...

Two Molly's, a Ryan, a Kerry and an Erin: The Irish Pubs of the French Quarter You know about the French, Spanish, Italian, and African hold on the Quarter, but faith and begorra, the Irish spirit adds green to the Vieux Carre.

Drinking in History: Classic Cocktails and Modern Thrists in the French Quarter Milk Punch, Sazerac, Ramos Gin Fizz, Hurricanes and Hand Grenades...from the purely potent to the elegant and poetic, these famous drinks were first concocted right here in New Orleans.

'Making Groceries' in the Old French Market It was a social scene, a lively marketplace and from earliest days a place to fire the imagination. Lafcadio Hearn wrote in the 1890s that in the French Market you would hear a cacophony of languages and see "every race that the world boasts, and a good many races that are nowhere else."

Grand Chorus Without End at the Old Cathedral in Jackson Square St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans has called out to saints and sinners for centuries and still the old iconic landmark perseveres through fire, hurricane, war and unending restoration.
