2814 Dauphine Street, between Frenchmen and the river. Here is how to find us from every direction.
2814 Dauphine St, New Orleans, LA 70117.
Faubourg Marigny, two blocks downriver of Frenchmen Street, fifteen minutes on foot from Jackson Square.
Look for the deep burgundy shotgun with five rocking chairs and a brass number plate. If you hear a trumpet, you are close. If you smell red beans on a Monday, you have arrived.
Rideshare or taxi, $36 to $45. The flat-rate taxi zone covers the Marigny; confirm the rate before you get in. Say “Dauphine and Frenchmen, Marigny.”
Airport shuttle, about $24 a person. Tell dispatch we are a private house and they will drop you at Dauphine and Frenchmen, two minutes from the door.
Bus, $2, about 75 minutes. The E2 to Carrollton and Tulane, then the 55 Elysian Fields to Dauphine. The cheapest arrival in the city and a fine first tour.

About 10 minutes
Union Passenger Terminal takes Amtrak and Greyhound. A rideshare runs $12 to $15.
The Rampart and St. Claude streetcar gets you within a twelve-minute walk for $1.25.

Free street parking
From I-10, take Elysian Fields Avenue (exit 237) toward the river, then left on Dauphine. The burgundy house is on the right, just past Frenchmen.
Parking on Dauphine is free and unrestricted. Read the signs in parade season; the city tows with enthusiasm and no warning.
