 The Dungeon New Orleans

One of two gothic bars (they split about ten years ago), ˜The Original Dungeon has a better atmosphere and fewer patrons because it is tougher to find“ down an alley, next to ˜Front of the Dungeon™. Expect bathrooms hidden behind staircases and a great time.

Lalaurie House

Marie Delphine Lalaurie, more commonly known as Madame LaLaurie, was a New Orleans Creole socialite and alleged serial killer, infamous for torturing and likely murdering her household slaves.
Born during the Spanish colonial period, Delphine Macarty married three times in Louisiana, having twice been widowed. She maintained her position in New Orleans society until April 10, 1834, when rescuers responding to a fire at her Royal Street mansion discovered bound slaves in her attic who showed evidence of cruel, violent treatment over a long period. Lalaurie's house was subsequently sacked by an outraged mob of New Orleans citizens. She escaped to France with her family.
The mansion where Lalaurie lived is a landmark in the French Quarter, in part because of its history and in part because there were relatively few such massive homes in the Quarter.
