No matter what anyone says, New Orelans is the party capital of the US. Bars are open all night, Mardi Gras is a few weeks long, there is - ofcourse - Bourbon Street, and the food is to die for! One thing that is often over looked - the history.

This beautiful city has both Spanish and French influence. These influences are seen in the French Quarter buildings. Piece of trivia: although it is called the French Quarter, the buildings are primarily Spanish. The French owned Louisiana first, then the Spainards gained controlled after the land was transferred to them by Louis XV. In 1803 the United States purchased the land.

This city is considered to be the birth place of Dixieland-style jazz. This music style can be heard my musicians on the street, in shops and billowing out of jazz clubs. Preservation Hall is a very popular place for jazz musicians and have for over a century helped preserve Jazz and the musics history.

The food is a legend all on it’s own. Red Beans & rice are Monday’s staple, fried fish is the special on Friday’s. In between you can dine one what our heart desires: hot benet donuts and cafe au lait coffee, gumbo, jambalaya, stuffed bell peppers as well as the the cuisine of many cultures. New Orleans is home to many active cultures including: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Creole, Latin, and so many others. The least you can say is that the city is diverse.

Next time you come down south to New Orleans remember not only to party, but to enjoy the cities history.
