New Orleans travel guide for AOL Travel

AOL Travel: A New Orleans vacation will be very different from a vacation elsewhere in America. A laissez-faire attitude permeates everything from the food and the music to the way the residents speak and live. The result is a city that bubbles with a culture that can only be described as intoxicating. Locals are always looking for a good time and it’s almost impossible to go anywhere in the city without hearing music or catching a whiff of something simmering on the stove. Large festivals and events such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival and Mardi Gras attract hundreds of thousands of visitors. The Big Easy also features a unique and diverse urban landscape ranging from the narrow cobblestone streets of the French Quarter to the wide oak-lined avenues of Uptown. New Orleans travel, whether for Mardi Gras or business is sure to prove entertaining.
