Welcome to New Orleans also known as "the
Big Easy, the Crescent City or the City that care forgot."
Home of the most fascinating Carnival culture in North America and likewise a poetic
swampland for great food, excellent music and a comfortable angle on a version of the good
life that is all their own. For centuries there has been a nonstop party in the original
city center known as the French Quarter. Here's the best place to find America's most
distinguished regional cuisine called Creole or Cajun if you prefer its country cousin.
Feel the energy of the original Dixieland rhythms that gave the world its most creative
musical art form known as jazz. Go slow, the streets speak of a proud, fascinating history
of free black expression in dialogue with European sophistication and Caribbean ease. |
