New Orleans is back!
New Orleans is celebrating a modern renaissance, from its famed culinary scene to the NFL Saints’ recent Super Bowl victory, and people are taking notice — the city now draws nearly 8 million visitors every year. New Orleans is simply unmatched in the United States for its blend of European atmosphere, Caribbean flavors and “Laissez le bons temps rouler!”
(“Let the good times roll!”) state of mind. Spend an afternoon exploring iconic neighborhoods from the French Quarter to the Garden District on foot, by carriage, or on one of the city’s streetcars. Or, see the cityscape via the Mississippi River on a historic paddlewheel boat. And as the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans offers a vibrant music scene that ranges from street performers to the nightlife of Bourbon Street.
