Mid City

Mid City

Mid City is as it says, in the middle of New Orleans, and is a middle class neighborhood.  This area does not have a lot of tourist attractions and is considered more "blue-collar" part of New Orleans.

 The Krewe has been called the best day parade and has themes dedicated to children.                                                          

 Mid City offers affordable houses for young people looking for historic homes.  Residents can have the unique homes at a fraction of the cost as Uptown properties.
