Looking for heritage-rich romance this February? The Big Easy has your back.
With an abundance of food, fun and foot-tapping tunes, it’s easy to see why New Orleans is a destination that doesn’t disappoint. For travelers willing to step outside the typical tourist circuit, however, there’s much more to experience. From the spiritual practices of Marie Laveau and the origins of jazz to the Mardi Gras Indians and a notable civil rights history, the city has a diverse heritage that still influences local culture to this day. For a deeper sense of the Crescent City, set your sites beyond Bourbon Street.
