New Orleans Garden district is home to Anne Rices Mayfair Witches, Benjamin Button and home to the "Coven" in American Horror Story as well as many mysterious and loved fictional characters.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Visit Lafayette Cemetery #1, the oldest Municipal Cemetery in New Orleans.  Lafayette #1 is the site of filming for many famous movies and TV shows including Interview with a Vampire and Double Jeopardy.
