The yellow building is "Basin St. Station" it's a welcome center for tourism, and there is a reception hall on the roof. I took these pics from their veranda. They would be willing to let us use it in exchange for a mention in the credits. If a mention is not possible, they may still allow us to use it. The 2nd pic is a wide shot of the cemetery. The grass that you see in the 3rd pic is the protestant section, where Latrobe's placard resides.
St Louis Cemetery #1
If you are facing the cemetery (pic #1), there are housing projects to the left along Conti St. (pic #2) and to the rear. The front of the cemetery runs along Basin St. (pic 3). The entrance to the cemetery has a wrought iron cross (pic 4). To the right of the building is St. Louis St. (pic #5)
Protestant Section of the Cemetery
This is where Latrobe was supposedly buried. The protestant section is located in the rear of the cemetery and used to be much larger but was reduced in size due to expansion of the city. It's largely just a grassy area with some marked and unmarked graves. Nobody knows where Latrobe's body actually lies.

Cafe Fleur De Lis
This is a 2nd option. Still waiting on pics from the PR lady for a 3rd and 4th option, however, this is the most "diner" looking establishment I've come across which is open to working with us in the quarter.

Latrobe Park
This park is located where the original Water Works stood. It is directly next to the French Market in the Quarter. I believe these fountains existed at the original water works.
