Pirates' Alley, so named because legend has it that the pirate Jean Lafitte would meet his 'band of brothers' here. This story is not true and neither did Andrew Jackson meet with Jean Lafitte and other pirates to plan the defense of New Orleans. The alley wasn't created until 1831 and its official name was Ruelle d'Orleans, Sud. The yellow building on your left is the site where William Faulkner wrote his first novel, Soldier's Play. Today, it's one of the most popular alleys in the Quarter.
