I’m glad y’all enjoyed my city!!! Also St. Louis cemetery houses the tomb of Marie Laveau and people were “defacing“ her tune with the three exits. That’s another reason why they now require you to go through it with a tour guide.
Jessica, I love your lipstick. Your dress and your hat make you fit right in in New Orleans.
Did your guide tell y’all about the year and a day “ovens”.
I just moved to New Orleans about a year ago what are the year and the day ovens please😮❤
I'm not sure if you know in 2013 Marie Laveau's grave was completely defaced by someone who felt the need to paint it Pepto Bismol pink (latex paint). It did a ton of damage. The tomb was almost destroyed and they weren't sure if they could restore it. :-) Fun fact.
I loved you video. Your wit and commentary were cracking me up. From one tour director to another...Cheers!!
Glad that to hear they were able to save her tomb! It saddens me to hear that somebody did that.
My wife and I were in New Orleans back in 2013, then, Cemetery No. 1 was open to the public to where you could walk in and stay as long as you want during normal hours. I must say back then, the grounds were very clean! Its ashamed you have to pay now to walk thru it.
New Orleans is a dream trip for me! Lucky for me, I get to see it through your eyes until I can get there! XOXO, friends!🖤
Queen Tam Come on down, love to have you here 🖤
crystal davis I’d never leave😂
Queen Tam nope its so beautiful i love it 🖤
That granulated sugar on the table is for your coffee not for beignets
They use powdered sugar on them
You guys are couple goals for sure
Jessica sooo BOOTIFUL!
I was just there for Halloween! I go back for Halloween every two years
My first ancestor to come to New Orleans in 1721 is buried in St. Louis #1.
So glad I stumbled across your channel. Love these videos!
8:40 That's exactly the kind of thing that keeps me away from places. You could have gone to Cafe Du Monde in the Esplanade Mall a few miles away and been far more comfortable.
Can't wait to finally make it down to New Orleans. Will definitely take your notes about the cemetery tours when we visit. Good to know! 🖤
You can’t go to NOLA without hitting pat ‘o briens. Get a mighty muffuletta omg so good
FINALLY found the theme song. I searched Batmobile and all that came up was fucking batman. FINALLY. Calamity Man by Batmobile. Fuck that song is great. Your remix with the thunder and spooky wind is kick ass by the way.
I love yours videos, with affection from Brazil.
I think this cementery was part of the location on double jeopardy's movie
The dungeon changed a lot since I was there that little courtyard you were standing in your actually standing on top of a sealed basement were hundreds of people were murdered
Love to go there and meet Phil anselmo be cool.
The Dungeon is my favorite place to go in NoLa!! ❤️
I liked the vampire shop and the dungeon bar best. Also question, did you feel like it was all properly restored post Katrina? I feel like before Katrina New Orleans was a grand almost fantastical place. You look at old Mardi Gras footage and your just like that's insane. I can't help but wonder if they go that back. For example what was the energy like on your visit?
It would be so cool to go on an adventure with you guys
Wow awesome as always guys!!!
Also....Really dig the music!!!
Great video, great couple. Love your show.
I'm rather disappointed with the Cemetery and whichever diocese or company is in charge of the tours there. It's wonderful they are restoring the tombs, but they should run 1, maybe 2 tours at a time and then have other employees/guides cleaning up the paths and grounds. It just seems lazy and disrespectful to me, especially for such a historic and revered place. But the Boutique du Vampyre was incredible...very creative and unusual! Thanks for another great vid!!!
Sadly when we go back to New Orleans we won’t going into the cemetery again. It’s good but also bad what they are doing. There are so many other historic cemeteries there that we will be checking out. We were let down too
@@grimmlifecollective yah, it's really a shame. I'm glad there are plenty of other places to go though. Looking forward to your next vid!
While I agree that is is wonderful that they are restoring the tombs, some of them should be repaired, but left in their original state. Too much remodeling. Those tombs should be preserved EXACTLY as they originally were. Furthermore, it would be great if the diocese in charge would just be cool and let people place candles, flowers and incense on and around Marie Leveuo's tomb. It doesn't hurt anything. Neither do the "XXX" markings. But that's the trouble with the Papacy. It is RELIGIOUS!!! And religious administrations are notorious for being intolerant!!! Now, I'm sure there are PLENTY of gang-bangers in New Orleans. That trash is in just about every state in the union!!! Those trashy people are the WORST. They probably had to spend HOURS scrubbing the graffiti off of the tombs!!! But surveillance cameras and swift harsh punishment would have taken care of that. Now, the rules are way TOO strict, and they ruin it for EVERYONE. Especially when a good 80 percent of the rules are being made by the pious and holy diocese under the directive of the Pope!!! Religious people don't have a whole lot of tolerance, folks.
#1 Thanks for the heads up on the tour in the cemetery and #2 I guess I need to bring a bib for the beinets!!! Lol 😆 I am an messy eater.
Hey yall! I live in NOLA and my friends and I talked about this ALL of the time. Before we could just go to the cemetery and go to the tomb of Marie Laveau. It was actually kept up nicely! Now...its just ridiculous you have to pay and the tour is a disaster 😭
Love you guys
The photo montage is hilarious.
Love your videos, but as a local “Quarter Rat” you may have not had a chance to learn the reasons behind the cemetery’s new rules and regulations. After crimes, vandalism, theft and even murders, the Catholic Arch Dioceses with no cemetery budget to work with, had to make the tough and unprecedented decision to comply with City Hall to pass new laws and ordinances city wide that no one may enter a cemetery from dusk til dawn and gates are to be locked. Skulls and entire skeletons being stolen and sold on black markets, someone painted Marie Laveaux’s tomb pink! It had to be resurfaced by specialists like you saw.
I know you must come from a very nice, clean town with a big budget, but New Orleans stays broke without a lot of niceties of other cities, but we manage.
While hurricane Katrina recovery money has been well spent and stretched, can you believe 14 years later, FEMA is only just now giving NOLA the rest of the money for street repair?
I must also tell you that October is the busiest time of year in NOLA for anything of a haunted or macabre nature. I manage a popular haunted venue and it’s no lie, it’s crazy crowded. There’s VooDoo Music Fest, Halloween parties and events, parades, and start of football and conference season, etc.
Since the Cemetaries have only seven hours to work with, they are packed out in October. The haunted night tours in the Quarter are limited in times as well. It’s a fast hustle for sure. The money you pay directly to the Arch Diocese pays for affordable weekly cleaning and maintenance only, not daily. The tomb and grave repairs are done by a charity organization that is dependent on donations. With so many descendants of these tombs dead and no families to care for them, it has fallen on charity.
To better understand the plight of the city’s cemetaries, please visit
“save our cemeteries”
www.saveourcemeteries.org
It’s not a racket, it’s a sad situation. Money is scarce to save these gravesites from the perils of vandalism, time, weather and neglect. Please consider promoting a better understanding for perceived unpleasantness in someone else’s town before griping to the world. New Orleans is not DI$NEY World, and never will be.
NOLA Schnauzer Former cemetery tour guide here. You're exactly right.
At least pick up the trash!! Lol. No excuse for that ...doesn't matter where you're from
7:15 They talk about re-plastering the fronts.
This can seen on the photo shown at 4:54 .
This is called cross-hatching and is done so the plaster has something to "Grip" onto.
A Fantastic veiw!
I had a great tour but I did spend money… maybe 20 something. We got lots of great pictures. They walked some additional sites as well with good tour guides without overlap.
This is a cemetery I’ve dreamed of visiting. I know now days its tour only. But wow I’ve only seen it by drone. I’m sorry I missed this when it came out.
I love it🖤 happy Halloween 🎃
Those desserts look really good
My friend and I were just there last week!!
We’re actually uploading our video tour Monday! Such an awesome amazing place!!
The TV series on Showtime Your Honor staring Brian Cranston was filmed in that area.
Wonderful
Great video!!! I do want to add about the tour guide etiquette, there is no etiquette today and THAT SUCKS.
I ate at Cafe Du Monde every day for both of my two 2 week trips there, it never got old. Did you guys go to the Voodoo Museum? The Dungeon is a cool bar for sure. The atmosphere is perfect!
When you come back to NOLA, me and my ol lady can show you around some cool shit. Were friends with the lady that owns Boutique Du Vampyre and she also owns a vampire speakeasy called Potions, its actually where me and my ol lady met.
The Dungeon is one of our haunts and you definitely need to check it out when its open. Its upstairs area opens about an hour after opening time and the entrance to it is behind a fake wall.
Awesome !
In February 2005, I climbed that wall after hours. To take some rad photos of the Cemetery. Across the St., there is Police station.🤘🎃👹
It’s a shame about the cemetery. We were there in 2010 and got to go in freely and look around at our own pace. We even video recorded it on one of those big old video recorders that took the tapes! Lol
Makes me want to break out those recordings and photos and reminisce.
I have family buried in this cemetery. No buried but put to rest in a moseleum
I so hope to go to New Orleans someday soon. ( Especially now that I live in Arkansas) I really appreciate all the pictures of the St Louis #1 Cemetery. It does look different from other pictures from before Katrina . And the Vampire Shoppe & Dungeon Bar was so very Cool !! Great coverage of New Orleans !! Thank you for all the great information too
Jessica looked perfectly Witchy 💚🎃💚 and an excellent co host.
Happy Halloween🖤🎃🖤🦇🖤
Excellent video 👍🙋 🕊️🌟 🌟🌟 🌟🌟
I have never had a beneightt (spelling???)
I have always wanted to try one and always wanted to visit New Orleans. Still on my bucket list! Thanks for the video!!!! 👏👏👏
Did the ghost and vampire tour last time I was there, was ok and also the dark entry store was awesome! Great vid guys....luv ya!!!!
It's ultimately still a cemetery, and it's a shame that people cant show proper respect without throwing cups, bags, etc down on the grounds.. some people are pathetic. BUT wonderful vlog as always!
Oh I would love to go there
I work at the cathedral I was a chef for the rector msgr Kern for 10 my paw paw is buried in St Louis number 2 y’all are awesome ☠️👺🧛♂️
Haven’t been to New Orleans in a few years. I’ve heard since he passed away that Dr. John is in St.Louis 1 now. Confirm?
I spent a lot of time in New Orleans when I was on a annual training with the Navy Reserve. The French Quarter is a interesting place. Thanks for the video.
I love New Orleans!!!!! I have been to #1 twice, the last time in November of 2016. I even visited Marie's gift shop in the quarter. I learned a lot about voodoo there, especially that it's not as bad as Christians think it is! The day we went in 2016, our tour was much better, and was run by the church across the street. Marie's tomb was roped off and painted over, so people couldn't mark it up anymore.
We can't wait to visit New Orleans. Great video
Just a tidbit of information, madame delphine lalaurie passed away in France but her family brought her back over here and buried her in a tomb using her maiden name of delphine McCarty. I don't recall where in the cemetery it is but the tomb is in a 2x6 tomb I want to say near the back of st.louis #1.
Mmmm, Beignets! I love Cajun/French food.
It's like when in San Francisco, you have to have the Sour Dough Bread!!! Gotta have it!! No one can make sourdough bread better than San Francisco. Nothing compares to it.
Thats to bad about the cemetery its actually very sad wow
I love you guys you always try to iknowledge your fans I hope I spelled that right
Good to know about the tours. Bummer it's so unorganized and there's litter everywhere. I'll keep that in mind when I actually visit!!
That was awesome. My dream is to one day go to New Orleans
I actually thought this was in St.louis I'm like we don't have a French nothing 😂😂
hey guys im NEW to your videos - thx for posting another N0LA video- you guys look like you were having fun dn there --
TUBA SKINNY !!!
I would like it if you could go to New Orleans to try to locate Pride's Bar from NCIS New Orleans.
12:49 No but Jessica's look here literally made me stop what I was doing and pay attention. She looks phenomenal with dark hair (hope that's ok for me to say). 💗
Awsome Video Dudes keep up the good work :)
Awesome!
You have to wait to go to the dungeon till after 12 when they open upstairs you should do the history on the place it’s actually haunted. My sister works at a daiquiri Shop down there let me know when you’re in the French quarter I’ll get you a free daiquiri
It’s funny y’all say it’s dirty because anytime I travel anywhere else, I’m always amazed at how clean everything is lol. I guess I’m just used to the dirt lol.
Thanks for taking us there. I will never go myself.
TuckerSP2011 why not?
A little disappointing about the cemetery BUT there are clearly other things to make up for it. Thanks for letting me experience it digitally instead!
grimmlife, you look like a goth version of Ashley Greene!
One place I want to go to so badly, but living in Canada it isn’t cheap!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
kick ass you guys
That is a horrible shame about the cemetery. The rest is very cool, though.
May the curse be forever in your favour!
No filming, that's ridiculous, and you can't even go on your own. Beautiful video though. Cheers!
The good ole days of freedom ( come and go unattended )
Tre fundamentalist Catholic guilt and shame at work ....
Anyway i cleaned the cemetery and decorated marie Laveaus grave as an alter
( while playing Miserere mei deus on my jambox on loop / burning incense and *smoking cloves ( banned now ) )
a few times over the years before and just after Katrina ... Good times ...
I wonder if the archdiocese gets the money for the tours. I realize they have to upkeep the cemeteries, but they also have to pay for all those child molestation lawsuits.
What is the pyramid about? Is that where Nic wants to be buried?
Do you still have to pay to see your family tomb
New Orleans is a lost cause to many corrupt politicians they don’t really care about the city or people I went there 30 years ago and it want that bad and also not as bad crime way back then stay safe
Does that Nic Cage have to do with Illuminati?
💜🖤⚜️
High priestess ..
well if people would not be pigs throwing paper all over the ground.... why are people such pigs???? I don't throw paper and garbage on the ground because I have an actual brain.
I can't believe you mentioned the Trash!!!! Why, why ..in 2022 now..this but is a cpl yrs old are people STILL lazy with trash???????
😘
Hey guys, shame about the commercialism being made off of the corpses. But still an awesome video. Bad booty. Even if it was dead booty. Which I suppose by definition, because it is dead, would be bad.
The guy was called the bloody sultan I guess his brother was somebody of high-power he left his country and came to New Orleans Houston throw big parties at the dungeon I don’t know if you know this or not but it’s a house as well. There’s an older lady that usually goes there I don’t know if you still alive or if she still around but she has vampire teeth in her mouth you can ask her about the ghost stories about that place we have to wait till upstairs opens at night time it looks like they change the lot when I used to go the bathrooms were hidden inside of bookshelves they might’ve taken it out but upstairs at night time they start playing heavy metal music
Sorry to hear about your shitty ass time going threw the cemetery. That's a real bummer
14:17 wich would make them your outtestines .
Louisiana is a hellhole, the whole state, both the cities and the rural areas. I live here and hate it, people are very mean and uneducated for the most part. Be glad you made it without being attacked or robbed. I stay home as much as possible, not worth it. Cool vid tho!
I like Savanna better than New Orleans.
Very sad on how the cemetery is so decrepit and filthy
Hey hey now don't be talking trash about my city
Welcome to New Orleans, hope you brought your wallet… no thanks
