West End is a neighborhood, or sub-division of Lakeview, in New Orleans. It’s located along the levee of Lake Pontchartrain — mostly on the lake side of the levee. It has had some excellent seafood restaurants, although not as many since many were destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. It also has a large marina and places to fish.

Since much of New Orleans is below sea-level and there is often flooding, the dead are primarily buried in tombs above ground. On what was the outskirts of town, near the train tracks, several areas of land were set aside for cemetaries with tombs.
