Where to eat along Freret Street
The neighborhood is known for its dining scene along Freret Street, with locally owned restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The eight-block strip between Napoleon and Jefferson avenues was once a sleepy residential thoroughfare, but revitalization that started around 2009 has brought more than 30 local institutions to the neighborhood. “Freret is a post-Katrina, revitalized commercial corridor,” says Andy Brott, local glass artist and owner of BrottWorks Design Studio in the nearby Milan neighborhood. “This is culinary insanity; there are really too many [restaurants] to list.” You can grab a bite at:
The High Hat Café, a Southern-themed restaurant featuring Louisiana and Mississippi Delta cooking with dishes like fried catfish and biscuits and gravy
Cure, a James Beard Award-winning cocktail bar with an extensive drink menu and elevated bar food
Vals, a laid-back eatery with patio seating that’s known for its tacos and margaritas
Pigeon & Whale, a seafood restaurant and oyster bar with cocktails
Rook Café, a neighborhood coffee shop that serves creative featured drinks

How school choice works in New Orleans
New Orleans runs a citywide, all-charter school system with no neighborhood zoning. Families rank their preferred schools through the unified NOLA-PS Common Application Process, with most placements decided by a computerized lottery. The lottery prioritizes things like proximity and siblings already attending, while a handful of selective schools add specific eligibility requirements. Leftover seats are filled through open enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis.
Edward Hynes Charter School has a corporate partnership with the University of New Orleans.
At Warren Easton Senior High School, academic excellence is the highest priority.

What to know about flooding in Freret
Like much of New Orleans, Freret sits at a low elevation within the city’s low-lying “bowl,” an area of land that sits at or below sea level and is ringed by levees and floodwalls. Rainwater can’t drain out naturally and has to be pumped over the walls, so heavy rainfall, especially during hurricanes, is a major concern. Freret has seen its share of flooding, especially during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Since then, the neighborhood has been rebuilt, as seen in its modern housing options and revitalized Freret Street commercial strip. Most of the community lies within FEMA-mapped flood zones, so flood insurance costs should be factored in when buying a home here.
