My original plan for tomorrow afternoon was to catch the ferry at the end of Canal over to Algiers, check out the levee, eat at The Dry Dock Cafe, and then (based off of what someone told me) go to Mardis Gras World.
However, I notice while out and about today that there is a Mardis Gras World on the east shore right by the convention center I%26#39;m going to. Is this the same thing? Because the Ferry still has a sign on the entrance advertising Mardis Gras World in Algiers.
If it has moved, is it still worth the trip over to Algiers?
Confused on Mardis Gras World...
Mardi Gras World is now on the eastbank. I don%26#39;t know if the tours are still operating on the west but I suspect not since nearly all visitors stay on the east side of the river.
Algiers Point is a cute neighborhood and the Dry Dock is fun. Since the ferry is free, why not try it?
Confused on Mardis Gras World...
I%26#39;m just limited on time (only a couple free days after the conference ends today) so trying to maximize my time as much as possible.
I guess I%26#39;ll try it out. That way I can say I was on the great Mississippi :)
The ferry ride is only 25 minutes or so round-trip. Even if you walk around ';downtown'; Algiers Point you could still do the whole thing in an hour.
I wouldn%26#39;t go out of your way to do the ferry ride, but if you have some time and are in the area anyway, then go for it. Plus, there are talks of charging pedestrians in the future, so might as well take advantage now!
Take the ferry ride. Algiers Point is very charming. Vine and Dine takeout is getting good press on Chowhound:
';Take the free ferry over to Algiers Point and have lunch at Vine and Dine - a neat little take-out place right at the ferry - great sandwiches / gator dogs at really good prices. They also sell wine in to-go bottles that you can sip while you walk around the neighborhood.';
