New Orleans Getaways
The French Quarter, live jazz, Creole food and streetcars.
New Orleans is like nowhere else: iron-lace balconies, jazz drifting out of doorways and some of the best food in the country. It’s a great long weekend from Texas and a favorite for celebrations of every kind.
Wander the French Quarter, from Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral to Royal Street’s galleries, and stop for beignets and café au lait at Café du Monde. Hear live music on Frenchmen Street, and ride the St. Charles streetcar, which New Orleans’ transit authority calls the oldest continuously operating street railway in the world, past the grand homes of the Garden District.
Timing matters in New Orleans, with Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and other big events filling hotels fast. I’ll help you pick the right dates and a hotel in the neighborhood that suits you.
