New Orleans, the largest city of Louisiana, located on a Mississippi River bend near the Gulf, the so-named Crescent City offers a mixture of American, African, Caribbean and European architecture, culture and cuisine.
The French Quarter has many shops, elegant art galleries, restaurants, bars, jazz club, so a terribly good nightlife and it is also the heart and soul of the city. You will hear the rhythmic sounds of jazz, country western, Dixieland and sultry blues permeate the air if you walk through Bourbon Street, the French Quarter's liveliest and wildest thoroughfare.
On the corner of Rue Bourbon and Rue Bienville, you'll find the Old Absinthe House bar. The cooper-topped wooden bar captivates patrons as they sip their favorite beverages and the sights and sounds of the French Quarter trickle into this comfy bar.
Located on the Mississippi River, on Decatur Street is Jackson Square and it is a must-see place. This place is full of street painters, musicians, jugglers, historical buildings and the Moon Walk and it also provides a breath-taking view of the Mississippi River.
A National Historic District is the French Quarter. Most of the city's museums and historic homes are found here. Femme, femme, femme or paintings of Women in French Society by such artists as Renoir, Degas, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso is an exciting exhibition that has just been opened in the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA).
The Muse Conti Historical Wax Museum was founded in 1963 and it is another highlight in New Orleans. Here you will find wonderfully realistic wax sculptures that chronicle the history of New Orleans. Not to mention the other famous figures such as film stars and musicians. Visitors can experience the Haunted Dungeon, occupied by 'Masters of the Macabre,' such as Edgar Allen Poe and Victor Hugo. You can also host parties and receptions here.
What New Orleans is famous for is its festivals all year round. There are more than 400 festivals, including Mardi Gras, Woodoo Fest, and Jazz Fest, each year. The day before Ash Wednesday is Mardi Gras and it is a carnival with thousands of sensational sculptured props, and super giant figures. On Mardi Gras Day the city is shut down, people go to the street and have party.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is a 10 day cultural and music festival consisting of two main components: the Louisiana Heritage Fair and the Evening Concerts. Showcasing over 600 musicians on 12 stages, an amazing array of authentic Louisiana cuisine, crafts and art displaying the talents of artisans from around the state and world is the Louisiana Heritage Fair. Taking place at different venues around New Orleans are the Evening Concerts.
New Orleans is alive again and worth a visit almost 2 years after Katrina. The best time to visit is February through April because during this time, the weather is good and here you can enjoy the city's two most spectacular events, Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest.
