FRENCH QUARTER. The lines are long but the music is great! Preservation Hall is a historic New Orleans tradition. The jazz musicians who take the stage nightly are well into their 70s, but when they "jazz" – you'll see why this landmark is a must see. The decor is basic and consists of benches and cushions. There is NO food or drink allowed in the hall and crowds are usually standing room only. Set times are 35 minutes with 10 minute breaks in between. The music begins at 8:30pm; 3:30 on Sundays.

Children are welcome, but guests are asked to remain quiet during performances.

FRENCH QUARTER. Everyone – old and young, from far and near – feels welcome at this cozy German-style beer hall. Patrons, seated near the fireplace or on the patio, puff cigars, down their favorite imported beers or sip cocktails, made with European schnapps. The club's nightly live Dixieland jazz doesn't disappoint.

FRENCH QUARTER. Traditional jazz sounds emanate nightly from the Palm Court Jazz Café. The ambiance is classic and the house musicians, who most likely have been playing for decades, start at 8pm. Although the café is upscale and pricey, it continues to be a favorite with locals, tourists and musicians, with a crowd that leans toward the 40s plus. The decor features exposed brick walls, tiled floors and a decadently attractive mahogany bar. This is the place banjo talent Danny Barker praised in his song "Palm Court Strut."
