"One of the most popular spaces for public gatherings along Bourbon Street that doesn't involve the usual tourist schlock and frozen hurricanes. Free jazz sets are performed every day from 10 a.m. till close, and families congregate here to enjoy them. The main draw outside of gratis jazz grooves are selfie-ready statues of local icons such as Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint, and Irma Thomas, as is the opportunity for people watching." - Andrew Parks, Paul Oswell
