New Orleans
New Orleans. The Big Easy. Home to a hybrid creole of cultures that produced the most recognizable city in the world. Avenues flanked by French architecture, intricate ironwork, and bright colors. A walk down Bourbon Street greets you with a heady mix of hot Mississippi air, gas lamps, and music filling just about every corner. Jazz. Blues. And the food. Oh man, the food. Spicy jumbalaya. Hot chicory with a beignet. A po' boy stuffed high with fried seafood. See the photos and hear the music swirl in your head while tasty gumbo dances on your tongue. Stand in the midst of strong and historic New Orleans and take in those beautiful nights that feel like they can never end.
