| Jazz and Nightclubs-- an unforgettable New Orleans experience |
| 03.31.05 (3:41 am) [edit] |
Hop into the oldest streetcar in the world in New Orleans and enjoy the ride. When you reach the center of Bourbon Street, it is like stepping into a boiling cauldron of the hippest Jazz sound with the country western, the moody blues, and Dixieland jazz waft in the air. New Orleans has been the inspiration for the all the great Jazz virtuosos Satchmo, Ellington, and they are the ruling icons of present day jazz, which holds its own in the pop dominated music world.
Cajun food or Creole cooking needs but a moment to choose and it is always the wiser choice to make, because Cajun recipes are simply heavenly to look and equally wonderful to eat. The best place to try them is in New Orleans, where some of the most popular restaurants serve them with care and the right ambience.
Let’s spend a day in New Orleans and Cajun cooking. Café au lait and beignets make the traditional breakfast choice simply superb. At lunch, choose between P’oboy sandwich or ask for muffuleta and wolf down a spicy seafood snack at the waterfront wash it down with a fiery hurricane drink. Walk down the five mile Street of Dreams to pick up the souvenirs. If you have the time, you can take a plantation home tour and observe the beautifully restored old buildings that have outlived their founders. When you leave New Orleans the music will stay with you for a long time to come.

| History, or Mardi Gras or both: what is your New Orleans choice? |
| 03.31.05 (3:40 am) [edit] |
New Orleans brings up memories of the old swashbuckler types who sailed the seas and bragged about it in song and food. Nowhere else can you traverse centuries back and forth in a matter of a few miles.
The French Quarter is the liveliest and most interesting part of New Orleans, if only for its in- your- face architecture, jazz music, culture and food. A walk through the French Quarter with its deliciously thick ambience stirs up memories of the Frenchmen who founded the city. If we are careful, we might as yet catch the scent of spent gunpowder and the whoosh of the arrows as you lived a dangerous life.
Mardi Gras is the most famous festival during the carnival season and that’s the time to be in New Orleans. It is the time of the year when nearly half a million excited visitors jam the streets of New Orleans, watching the famous Mardi Gras parade and enjoying the hugely popular New Orleans style cooking. When feeling bored of the public squashing you from all sides, visit the Mardi Gras museum in Arnauld’s restaurant. The memorabilia, collected from all over the world, features some exquisite Court gowns and costumes and speak of a earlier age when fun and serious conversation switched sides rather easily in the blink of the eye.
Want to take in something bigger? You can troop in Mardi Gras World—the carnival place of giant sculptures of King Kong, the great Marilyn and thousands of other wonderful larger than life creations. You can say hello to Bacchus, let down your hair and enjoy the greatest party in the world, without the little WASP upbringing whispering blue murder into your heart.
