We rented a house in this neighborhood. We walked a few blocks to good restaurants, Frenchmen Street for non-stop music and art, and grocery stores. While the French Quarter is a mile away, it was an… Full review by kathykB5666PW
Hi, We are visiting New Orleans in May and cannot wait. We have been advised to get out and visit the Faubourg Marigny area - we are not hiring a car and will be getting about under our own steam - mostly walking and buses etc. Can you tell me how easy it is to get from the City Centre out to Faubourg marigny on the bus and how long it would take? Thanks

Not sure what you mean by the City Centre, maybe you mean the CBD (Central Bus Dist) where lots of restaurants and the banks are. If so there is only one bus that goes from Canal Street to the Marigny and that is the #5, Bywater/Marigny Bus. It seems to run about every 40 min on weekdays, hour or more on Weekends. You can catch it at Canal and S. Peters, down by Harrahs, the streetcar is there as well which goes uptown (nice side trip, take the streetcar on St. Charles (off Canal) and take it all the way up to the Carrollton area, nice ride and either get off and eat and shop, or come back again, may charge you another faire, but it's cheap $1.50 I think. So the #5 goes down Decatur through the French Quarter crosses Elysian Fields and goes to Poland and turns around Google and put in New Orleans Regional buses, (they won't let me put the url, that is the website for the buses with all the routes and you can see. But streetcar is more fun but not down our way yet. I live in the Bywater which is further down from the Marigny. Basically, the historic part of the city (French Quarter/Marigny/Bywater are all along the Mississippi River. Hope this helps, ask away. We love our city and hope you will too. You might not want to leave! Barbara
