NOLA Is the Julia Street Station operating?

[epermar]

We will be in New Orleans Saturday, a day ahead of our cruise, and want to explore the French Quarter.  We are staying at Hyatt Place across from the convention center, and we heard that the Julia Street Station (streetcar) might be closed due to construction.  Can anyone confirm this?  What is the best alternative to get to French Quarter from our hotel?  TIA

It is still closed, and probably will be for several more months due to construction on the old World Trade Center. The closest station to your hotel is at the foot of Canal Street.

 

It wouldn't be a bad walk from your hotel: about eight blocks. Or you could walk down to the Harrah's Casino and catch a pedicab. There are always several of them at the Canal Street entrance.
