We are only a couple hours drive from NOLA and would like to make a day trip over to order some gas lanterns at the Bevelo shop. It can be done online, but that's no fun! While there we would like to ride the St. Charles streetcar through the garden district and back to our car, which will, hopefully, be parked somewhere near the Bevelo shop at 318 Royal Street. We would like to go for an early dinner and then drive home. Can someone help me with the logistics, as we are completely unfamiliar with New Orleans? How convenient is it to get to a streetcar stop from the Bevelo store? Do I need tickets in advance or can I purchase upon boarding? Any restaurant suggestions somewhere along that route/general area where we would not have to drive and find another parking place. Is there a safe parking garage in that area? I've heard parking is a big problem and I get nervous driving in unfamiliar cities, so it would be nice to only have to deal with parking once for the day. As far as restaurants go, someplace relatively nice but not too expensive with good seafood and creole dishes.
Thanks for taking time to read and make suggestions!
1 day New Orleans (shopping, streetcar, dinner?)

The address is in the French Quarter a few blocks from Canal Street. You pick up the St. Charles Street line on Canal St.

The fare the last I knew was $1.25. Have a bunch of quarters since they don't make change.
There is also a Canal Street line as well as the Desire bus
Thanks for your replay tomfuller...good to know about the quarters.
You need to check whether it is up and running yet, they have been repairing/replacing the track, and buses are being used to join up with the street car in the Garden District.
