New Orleans United States |
The French Quarter, or Vieux Carre in French, is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. It lies in the crescent of the Mississippi River and consists of fairly narrow streets, reminiscent of European city planning, that reveal hidden courtyards and look up to wrought iron balconies. The architecture in the Quarter typically dates to the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries, and draws on French and Spanish influences. In daytime, the French Quarter, especially the area around Jackson Square, is filled with tourists, street performers, and the occasional conman. At night, the French Quarter transforms into the stereotypical party scene. Barhopping college students, adventurous suburbanites, tourists, and practitioners of the world's oldest profession all populate the area until the wee hours. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

The Spicy Creole Gumbo, made with chicken, shrimp, crab and sausage, is arguably one of the best in the city. Other menu favorites include Herb Garlic Pasta, Shrimp with sauteed vegetables and Falafel and Hummus platter. As for drinks, try the Funky Butt Juice. The cover charge varies by performance.

Club goers pick their spot then move and groove to the sounds of blues, zydeco and R&B.This hot spot in the Carrollton area does require a cab ride, but is well worth the fare.

City-Wide Party |

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This carnival is the Crescent City's biggest party of the year and one of the best-known celebrations in the world. Taking place annually on Fat Tuesday (the day before Lent on the Christian calendar) and the days leading up to it, parties begin in the morning and last until midnight. The parades are put on by social clubs called Krewes. Beautiful floats with costumed Krewe members roll down the streets all day long for a week, throwing all kinds of things from the floats to the watching crowds. The most cherished of the "throws" is a golden coconut, which can be had at the Zulu parade on Mardi Gras day. Mardi Gras is also knowned for drunken revelry and streets overflowing with people. If you want to avoid some of the worst of it, make sure you go to some of the uptown parades instead. Please note that prices for everything from hotel rooms to food go through the roof, so bring lots of money and make reservations up to a year in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Combine the intimacy with an ever-changing line up of some of the best musicians in the world and you end up with an up-close and personal music experience that cannot be matched anywhere else in the city. On almost any night you are guaranteed to be witness to the forefront of contemporary jazz in the making. The small wood-paneled bar room holds several tables for dining where dim lighting and exposed wooden beams give off the feeling of being in a cabin in the woods. The performance hall boasts of 25-foot ceilings and several tables lined up in front of an elevated stage. Menu items include the Seafood Pasta (oysters, shrimp and crawfish with penne rigate pasta, sauteed in extra virgin cold pressed olive oil), the Crawfish Etouffe, and the freshly cut and grilled Filet Mignon.

New Orleans United States |
Oak lined streets, Victorian mansions, and college cafes are staples of New Orleans' thriving Uptown neighborhood. St. Charles Avenue and Pyrtania Street offer examples of Colonial Revival architecture. The neighborhood is also home to Tulane and Loyola Universities. In addition to the mansions and universities, many pleasant coffee shops, antique stores, and restaurants crowd the small spaces between the fantastic homes of New Orleans' upper class. Plenty of fit and tanned residents jog the two miles through Uptown's gorgeous, Spanish moss-filled Audubon Park each morning. Review © 2007, Wcities |
