Ehlenberger got his start here, with his first exhibition in 1985.
Located on Frenchmen Street with a handful of clubs frequented by
both locals and out-of- towners in the know, this is certainly one
of the best places to end up on a night out in New Orleans. All kinds
of music and people come to this bohemian hot spot, and it's also
a popular place to show off costumes on Mardi Gras.
Hookah Cafe
566-7057
1132 Decatur St. (at Frenchmen St.)
Excellent Indian food, including great "tapas" style appetizers,
entrees and their unique "naanwiches," sandwiches made with
Indian naan bread and flavorful fillings. Perhaps the best part of
Hookah is the Indian/Techno Fusion music background and sometimes
live classical Indian music featuring Andrew, a fabulous local tabla
player.

Club 360
2 Canal St # 2925
595-8900
Known for years as the Top of the Mart lounge, this nightclub on the
33rd floor of New Orleans' World Trade Center has since taken over
new management and an even more fitting name as Club 360. The world's
largest revolving nightclub, it sports a sleek new look and a drink
selection courtesy of new owner Rande Gerber (of New York's Sky Bar
and the local Whiskey Blue). Making one complete revolution every
90 minutes, this slowly spinning club offers a fantastic, panoramic
view of the city. Ladies drink free on "Liquid Thursdays"
while Fridays feature the "Desire" dance night with live
DJs. Definitely high-end, upscale but not snobbish, it's a great place
for celebrity-watching.
