Going to New Orleans: Vacations, Tourism, Hotels, Things to Do, and Airports

What to do in New Orleans

New Orleans is a city that rewards those who plan the least. Travelers wandering the historic, balcony-crowned streets find themselves drawn into a complex web of great street bands, hidden eateries, and small bars serving up centuries-old cocktail recipes. Watch horn-heavy bands playing jazz at venues like The Maple Leaf and you’ll see how New Orleans distinguishes itself. Damage from Hurricane Katrina is still evident, though most vacationers see little of it—the French Quarter, Garden District, and Uptown neighborhoods were largely spared from flooding. New Orleans has been called “America’s most European city” and “the northernmost point in the Caribbean,” both ways of telling travelers to just relax and be in that number when the saints go marching in.

Traveler Reviews of New Orleans

MrsJBolt rates New Orleans

When it comes to New Orleans, you meet people that love it & you meet people that hate it. I am one of those people who didn't enjoy New Orleans. I do not like being approached by the homeless for money and I don't like having to worry so much about what road I'm on and accidentally ending up where I'm not suppose to be (which happened a few times...). New Orleans is known for it's food and I must have missed the "good" local restaurants because our food was just ok (except for The Rat's Nest restaurant which was lost in Katrina...It was Fabulous.) I'm not a huge into partying & drinking into the night either, which is probably another reason why I didn't like New Orleans. Basically my take was it consisted of bars, strip clubs, bars, tattoo parlors, a restaurant, & more strip clubs.
