Holt Cemetery Site:nolacemeteries.com Map: 635 City Park Ave. New Orleans, LA 70119 Description:
An under-ground cemetery-- possibly the only one in New Orleans. The people buried here are poor, but the graves are very personal and the site is very peaceful. Orbs are very common and the feeling that someone is touching you or tugging on your clothes is constantly felt.

Saint Claude Ave Site:myneworleans.com/st-claude Map: Saint Claude Ave., New Orleans 70117 Description:
The next up and coming music hot spot. The doors are open, the noisy crowds are flowing from one gallery to the next and local and international visitors are enjoying the dozen or so new contemporary art exhibitions opening tonight. You might assume it's another night on Julia Street or maybe Magazine. But be surprised. This vibrant scene is taking place in the Upper 9th Ward on St. Claude Avenue in the Bywater, and it's not just this night. It is 'Second Saturday of the Month' and it happens 12 months of the year.
