A short, quiet street between St. Louis Cathedral and the Cabildo, a contrast to the hustle and bustle around Jackson Square. Some claim that it was a haven for pirates in days past, while others claimed that slaves were sold at the adjacent St. Anthony's Garden on Royal Street. Located in Pirate Alley is the Faulkner House, named for William Faulkner who wrote his first novel while residing there. The "Alley" has been a favorite spot for artists and photographers for decades.
