Quarter, where you can enjoy
some of the world's best
brass band and jazz music
for free.
Sunset over the
Mississippi
Settle yourself down on a
wooden bench and watch the
sky turn violet over one of
the world's greatest rivers.

world dished up in a
down-home New Orleans shack.

just the place to pass a
steamy New Orleans night.

The Cabildo, in the heart of
the French Quarter, is one
of the finest state museums
you'll find, with lively,
compelling exhibits on all
aspects of the city's rich
history.
Oysters
Whether fresh fried and
piled high in giant po-boys
at the Acme , or
downed raw in one briny
slurp at Casamento's
, New Orleans' oysters are a
culinary treat.
Ride a Streetcar
The streetcar named Desire
no longer runs, but the
city's other vintage
streetcars offer superb,
open-air rides through New
Orleans' most elegant
districts.
Voodoo
With stops at boutiques
selling dolls and potions,
voodoo tours are a bit
campy, but rest assured that
the mysterious religion is
still practiced by many in
New Orleans today.
Mardi Gras
Crazy, colorful, debauched
and historic - this is the
carnival to end them all.
