'It's a Little Eerie at Night': Cyclist Cruises Down Empty Bourbon Street in New Orleans

Bourbon Street was empty in New Orleans on Friday, March 27, as the popular thoroughfare was deserted and businesses closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19.

“It’s a little eerie at night, but bike-riding is quite rejuvenating,” Instagram user @spokenword504 wrote after they posted a video of their cruise down the street.

According to reports from NOLA.com, there had been 3,315 positive cases of coronavirus across Louisiana as of Saturday, with 137 reported dead and 927 individuals hospitalized. The first positive case was reported on March 9. Credit: spokenword504 via Storyful
