Napoleon House in the French Quarter is one of my favorite places. Its gets that name form a popular local tale that it was built to be a residence for Napoleon Bonaparte after his exile and part of a plot to bring Napoleon to Louisiana. However, Napoleon was killed before the plot was hatched.
The interior looks like it hasn't been touched since the days of Napoleon. The atmosphere is great. It is a place were the bar tender's fathers work ... a long tradition. There is nothing like settling up to the bar or sitting in the courtyard and having a Pimm's Cup.
It is just another one of those things in New Orleans that has so much character.
