OVERVIEW
Things to do in New Orleans
The cultural riches and unparalleled entertainment options that have defined New Orleans for decades continue to flourish in the “Big Easy.” The most-celebrated and historic core of the city – including the French Quarter, Central Business District, Warehouse and Arts District, Magazine Street, Garden District, Audubon Park and Zoo and St. Charles Avenue – is thriving. In fact, Orbitz and Travel + Leisure chose New Orleans as one of their top destinations for 2007, and The Today Show named it as number two in its “America the Beautiful” series in August 2007.New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana, just north of where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico, and is a major commercial and tourism center for the southern United States. This is a city perfectly suited for a fun-filled, exciting getaway. Guests will enjoy non-stop nightlife, the best traditional jazz music in the world, shopping in the French Quarter, exploring the beautiful homes of the Garden District and many culinary delights.
New Orleans is like no other place in the world. It is often referred to as the most European of American cities, but it is much more than that. Start with Amsterdam, stir in some Caribbean, add dashes of Cartagena and Memphis, and the recipe for this amazing city is just beginning.

the locals most commonly refer to it, has caught me in a snare, entranced me, seduced me with all the things that make it special and the promise of so many other things I've yet to discover. I have this burning desire to peek around every corner, step into every shop and discover every little secret.
