Life on Bourbon Street

It may be hard to believe, but this city also has a quiet side. Hide away from the fray with a tour of St. Louis Cathedral, built in 1794 over the foundations of churches past. With hymns humming in your ear, wander over to Jackson Square, one of America's most historic public spaces—here you can enjoy a cup of coffee and casual conversation. And what shall you talk about? The mystical collections at the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum are an intriguing place to start.

As its boozy moniker implies, Bourbon Street can be wild and the gaudy floats and godless shenanigans of Mardi Gras are no exception. This festival fills the hotels on Bourbon Street with spirits—both the free ones and alcoholic ones—and the street is packed with partygoers, performers, dancers, and more. Listen to an up-and-coming blues band at a bar, order the neighborhood’s signature absinthe frappé, and sample some exquisite Cajun seafood.

Savor the Flavors of the French Quarter

As you embark on this multicultural adventure, you may be asking the age-old question: What’s the difference between Cajun and Creole cuisine and where can I find some? First of all, locals tell us the difference lies in the inclusion of one key ingredient. Creole cuisine showcases more tomato-based recipes than Cajun fare. That’s a broad generalization, but it’s certainly a delicious one, wherever you dip your spoon on the spectrum. When the time comes to taste your way through New Orleans, there’s no better place to start than the French Quarter. In addition to the local French-Creole restaurants, like historic Galatoire’s Restaurant, you’ll find some commendable cocktail bars—perfect for a relaxing night cap or a rollicking pub crawl.
