New Orleans Area Information, Dining and Attractions:
Here, in this little corner of the American South, we celebrate almost anything. We have a saying: LAISSEZ LE BONS TEMPS ROULER -- LET THEGOOD TIMES ROLL. A reminder of our french heritage, where European traditions blend with Caribbean influences. A place where Haitian and African Creoles were instrumental in creating jazz and Cajun Zydeco, legendary cuisine and a history as colorful as the local architecture. New Orleans is a cultural gumbo … a sensory overload with an authentic spirit. … a place like no other … a way of life that began three centuries ago and remains today.
