On a Two Chicks Walking tour you learn about the architecture, the residents and more. You also get to tour Lafayette Cemetery, just across the street from Commander’s Palace. Two Chicks keeps their tour groups small and offers a more intimate experience than most.

Talking Mardi Gras with Peggy Scott Laborde - Episode #107

Peggy Scott Laborde, the host of "Steppin' Out", is Senior Producer for WYES, New Orleans Public Broadcasting television station. Peggy is well known for her documentaries chronicling New Orleans' history and unique culture; her latest is "Christmas in New Orleans". I visited with Peggy at her office where she discussed the extensive damage to WYES following Katrina, and the station's plans to rebuild a bigger and better facility.
