Sophisticated Southern Charm
It’s hard to name a more distinctive city than New Orleans—from its cuisine to its music and architecture, it has an unmistakable flair. You could fill an entire weekend just eating and drinking your way through the cobblestone streets of the French Quarter, but you’d be remiss not to venture out via bike or streetcar to surrounding neighborhoods. Check out Frenchmen Street where you’ll find fewer crowds and four blocks of live jazz, bars, galleries, and eateries. Get a little spooky and visit one of the Crescent City's hauntingly beautiful cemeteries or go on a ghost tour.
