THE SOUTHERN CHARM OF NEW ORLEANS
Some cities are merely collections of skyscrapers and concrete, while others dazzle us with their distinctive style, physical beauty and soul. Yet few cities rival the seductive charm of New Orleans. Founded in 1718 by French Canadian explorer Claude Trepagnier, it thrives today with a wonderful mix of cultures, traditions, and interesting architecture, making it one of the
most unique cities in North America.
The heart of New Orleans is, of course, the
French Quarter, divided into Upper and Lower sections, with Jackson Square at the midpoint. At Jackson Square, you’ll find historic buildings and
a beautifully landscaped park. Be sure to also visit the City Park, filled with Art Deco-styled benches and fountains, artificial lagoons and ancient moss-draped oaks. Stroll down bawdy Bourbon Street with its eclectic street performers and pop into some of the many oyster bars, restaurants and novelty shops. You might also want to visit the New Orleans Museum of Art, which has one of
the largest glass collections in the country. New Orleans’ Garden District is lined with old Southern mansions. Take the streetcar from the French Quarter as a fun and inexpensive way to
see the area. The above-ground St. Louis Cemetery no. 1 near the French Quarter is also a big tourist
draw. Opened in 1789, it is the oldest cemetery in New Orleans. Though most tombs have fallen into disrepair, it hasn’t lost much of its charm, and there are many interesting stories behind these tombs.
A trip to New Orleans would not be complete, of course, without partaking in two of its most famous attractions – food and music. Once a center of trade for Native Americans, the French Market has served as a place of commerce along the Mississippi River since 1791. Now an open-air market it spans five blocks, from the famed Café du Monde to Esplanade Avenue. At the French Market you can satisfy your taste buds with Creole
tomatoes, jambalaya
and gumbo, pralines and muffulettas (sandwiches stuffed with ham, salami, mozzarella and green olives), as well as Cajun specialties. A café au lait and French beignet is a must from Café du Monde.
The best of New Orleans jazz can be enjoyed at Palm Court Jazz Café and the Preservation Hall.
Not only can you hear music from some of the best jazz musicians in the world, you also have the chance to rub elbows with them in-between sets.
