Bikes are a very good way to get around that part of town thru the warehouse district and upper garden district.

That is a very good Marriott to stay in and very central to get everywhere.

Too far to bike to Tulane from Convention center unless you have some time on your hands.

If you are taking cabs back and forth from Tulane, make sure to not only go via St. Charles, but also go at least once down Coliseum Street and Magazine Street as your going back and forth. Especially for your first trip to NOLA, will give you a feel for the Garden District.

Colesium has some amazing houses/architecture (arguably one of the finest streets in the US) and Magazine has many different sections with shops/restaurants. It is really an amazing place.

If you are there for a quick weekend, hard to believe but you can even skip the French Quarter on your first trip, plenty to see and do in the Garden/Warehouse District.

Best of luck, we will be there this weekend also, working on final college decision what an exciting time !
