Round the World in 30 Days

Photo of the Day – New Orleans, Louisiana

Perhaps one of the world’s most engaging cities, New Orleans is more than just home to a famed Mardi Gras celebration. A diverse blend of European, Caribbean and African heritage, the Big Easy is steeped in history and culture influencing everything from its architecture to its cuisine. Known for decadent dining, the fire of the local Cajun and Creole seafood dishes is best doused with a Sazerac or a Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane. From the raucous streets of the French Quarter to sultry late night jazz clubs and frequent music festivals, New Orleans is a tantalizing delight for the traveler.
