getting from one end of the quarter to another

We%26#39;ll be at the Hampton on Carondelet. I want to get a few snacks and some beer for the room. Does Walgreens in the quarter sell beer? (most Walgreens don%26#39;t any more).





Also, I know there%26#39;s a store at St Peter and Royal. Do we have to walk the mile back to our hotel? Are there buses running down the main streets during the day or taxi%26#39;s?

I believe some local stores on Canal sell beer but I%26#39;m not 100% positive. Royal/St Peter isn%26#39;t that far from your hotel, though. It%26#39;s a 10-12 minute walk.

There%26#39;s a liquor store right across from the Holiday Inn on Royal St (the Canal St. end). It%26#39;s a bit rough looking but it is safe and busy. I%26#39;m not sure either if the Walgreens on Royal sell beer.




Hmm good question. Beer is sold at so many places I never have noticed if Walgreens sells it too. Just call the store-that would be your quickest option.




Walgreen%26#39;s sells beer on Canal and Royal.




Thank you for the Walgreen%26#39;s confirmation. I hate to be running all over. This is the first vacation where we didn%26#39;t rent a car and I just wanted to get some info ahead of time




I do the same thing, except it%26#39;s a bottle of rum instead of the beer.




You can always have it delivered. Verti Marte and Quarter Master both deliver, and both sell beer.



We stayed at the Hampton on Carondelet for Mardi Gras a couple of years ago, and I seem to remember that the Walgreens on Canal sells beer. One of the things I loved about the location of this hotel was that we had to pass the 24-hour Krystal on Bourbon (which turns into Carondelet when it crosses Canal St.) when we walked back from a night of Bourbon St. sipping and people-watching. Munching those hot, greasy little squares saved me from a few hangovers!




I posted this yestersday but don%26#39;t see it. There is also Rouse%26#39;s Supermarket on Royal. 701 Royal Street. While you are there, get some Hubig pies. YUM!
