Bourbon Street -- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bourbon Street (French: Rue Bourbon) is a famous and historic street that spans the length of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. When founded in 1718, the city was originally centered around the French Quarter. New Orleans has since expanded, but The Quarter remains the cultural hub, and Bourbon Street is the street best known by visitors.
The most popular section of Bourbon Street is Upper Bourbon Street, an eight-block section of popular tourist attractions. Bourbon Street begins at Canal Street (across Canal is Carondelet Street in the New Orleans Central Business District). The straight street continues downriver, southwest to northeast a few blocks from and roughly paralleling the Mississippi River, and comes to its terminus at Pauger Street in the Faubourg Marigny. (In the 19th century, Pauger was named as a continuation of Bourbon Street.) Bourbon Street was named in honor of the House of Bourbon, the ruling French Royal Family, at the time of the city\'s founding.
The street is home to many bars, restaurants, strip clubs, as well as t-shirt and souvenir shops. The upper end of Bourbon Street towards Canal Street is home to many of the French Quarter\'s strip clubs. These include Rick\'s Cabaret, Temptations, and Larry Flynt\'s Barely Legal Club. Towards the central section of Bourbon Street one can find many famous bars including Johnny White\'s, The Famous Door, Razzoo and The Cat\'s Meow.
The section of Bourbon Street from the intersection of St. Ann Street proceeding several blocks northeast caters to New Orleans\' thriving gay community, featuring such clubs as New Orleans\' largest gay nightclub, The Bourbon Pub, and Oz. St. Ann Street has been referred to as the Velvet Line[citation needed], in reference to it being the edge or boundary line of the gay community in the French Quarter. Cafe-Lafitte-In-Exile is the oldest gay bar in the country and has a long and interesting history. New Orleans\' most celebrated Mardi Gras event, The Bourbon Street Awards, was hosted by Lafitte\'s until the early 1980s when massive crowds forced them to move from Bourbon Street to St. Ann and Burgundy. The awards have now returned to the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets. The intersection of Bourbon Street and St. Ann Street is also the epicenter of Southern Decadence, commonly referred to as the Gay Mardi Gras and attracts upwards of 100,000 participants over Labor Day weekend. [2]
From Dumaine Street to Pauger, Bourbon Street is largely residential with scattered businesses still catering to locals. Also on this stretch of Bourbon exists Jean Laffite\'s Blacksmith Shop, which is a very popular bar, showing the style of the original French buildings (before the Spanish iron balconies) which burned in the first Great New Orleans Fire (1788).
Though largely quiet during the day, Bourbon Street comes alive at night, particularly during the French Quarter\'s many festivals. Most popular among these is the annual Mardi Gras celebration, when Bourbon Street teems with hundreds of thousands of tourists. Local open container laws in the French Quarter allow drinking alcoholic beverages in the street in plastic containers (drinking from glass or cans is prohibited). The streets are packed with tourists drinking Hurricanes, Hand Grenades and Huge Ass Beers - a large plastic cup of draft beer marketed to tourists at a low price. Other festivals and events focusing on Bourbon Street include French Quarter Festival and Southern Decadence.
One of the oldest and most popular restaurants on Bourbon Street is Galatoire\'s, which was founded in 1905. Known for years by its characteristic line snaking down Bourbon Street, patrons would wait for hours just to get a table — especially on Fridays.

我也剛從那兒回來.哈哈,那個街道是比較有特色,太陽不下山,小姐就著三點站在門口,因為對少兒不宜,我帶著兒子趕緊走脫了.
#14很不錯，不但取景角度好，肢體語言也很牛。那女士好像在打電話，透過背影，能看到些許包裹在體內的“騷首弄姿”；她看上去精力滿旺盛的，對她來說有意思的一天才剛剛開始。。。那男的比較隨意放鬆，走累了找到一個歇腳的好去處，爽爽的喝上一杯，還有那麽點don't give a shit的瀟灑。。。
#4那張眾生相也不錯。可能是因為天氣比較熱，每個人臉上或多或少都帶有些倦慵與懶散的表情，這是一種典型的旅遊眾生相。時間在這樣的時刻走得很慢，人的腦子基本呈停頓狀，絕對的go slow and go with the flow。。。
#5，#6是典型的街頭藝術家標準相。喜歡作品的取景角度、裁剪與它所表達的內容。作品中的老頭完全活在自己的世界裏，對他而言，這裏不僅是他謀生的地方，更是他活著的目的。老頭作畫時投入的神情讓我感到他完全遊離於現實世界之外：世界在他身後緩緩淡出，他的時空裏唯有他的畫與全神貫注的心。。。
#7與#8讓我有些神傷，從中我看到生命的殘酷，看到日子像秋葉般紛紛揚揚有去無回，看到生命如抽繭般一絲絲離去。。。但它也讓我看到生命的坦然，看到順其自然的寧靜。我仿佛聽到畫筆平靜而悠然地輕輕吟唱著生命的挽歌。。。
