New Orleans
The "Big Easy" - as New Orleans is widely known, embraces a love of life like no other. With a sassy brassiness that has your feet tappin' and your body moving no matter what the time of the day. First of all, this is because of the amazing live-music scene, cafes and spicy nightlife that simply doesn't stop. In addition, is the JazzFest and of course Mardi Gras that is simply one of the biggest experiences around.
Another reason to visit is the food. Most noteworthy would be the fresh beignets at Café du Monde that have been served there since 1862. But anywhere you can get your teeth into some gumbo and jambalaya is going to be well worth it too! The melting pot of Creole, Cajun, French, African and American culture within New Orleans needs simply to be seen to be believed.
