Definitions

In New Orleans, a roofed second-floor balcony or covered walkway that hangs over the sidewalk — often the cast-iron lacework you picture from the French Quarter. Locals draw a hard line: a balcony is unsupported and small; a gallery has posts down to the street and runs the length of the building. Call it the wrong one in front of a NOLA native and you'll get corrected.
“We sat up on the gallery with hurricanes watching the parade roll down Royal.”
