Old Spanish Fort the remains of this colonial era fortification are just across the Bayou and Robert E.
Old Spanish Fort the remains of this colonial era fortification are just across the Bayou and Robert E. Lee Blvd. from the Helenic Cultural Center. Not much to see; little remains other than a few walls and ruined piles of brick foundations. May not be worth a special trip unless you're a serious fortification buff, but if you're nearby anyway, worth a quick look. If you go here, note that the Hellenic Cultural Center is just south-east across the Bayou in the Gentilly section.

This cemetery is just outside of Mid-City by most definitions, but is only a short drive from this neighborhood or a 15 minute hike from the end of the 'Cemeteries' branch of the Canal streetcar line (Walking directions: from the end of the line go to City Park Avenue, take a left past Greenwood Cemetery, continue under the Interstate overpass, then take a right to get to the entrance)
Call ahead to make sure they'll be open
