Eat Well in New Orleans.
Sweetly savory, a New Orleans day turns from pink to well done as dawn proceeds to the depths of evening. New Orleans is a gas. Struggles are muffled, bygones are forgotten, the alligator lies down with the lamb. You may not see a unicorn but plenty of fables come true in New Orleans every time the sun goes down or the moon comes up.
No one has ever accused New Orleans of being all creampuffs and daisies. Founded in 1718, New Orleans is a state of mind. Next to nothing, this is something. Catch the spirit of New Orleans: it’s revolutionary. So far. So good.
New Orleans is a meaty city, fully fleshed, well-muscled and marbled like a good thick steak. Take a bite and get a mouthful. Like marriage, New Orleans is a tender trap.

Expect little in New Orleans and you’ll get more than you’ll have bargained for.
History bestows on civilizations the cities they deserve. In our time, the world could a little more New Orleans. Even Hurricane Katrina couldn’t keep this good city down.
Florida is named for flowers. Louisiana is named after kings. New Orleanians are existential royalty, lords and ladies of a world they never made, one that they inherited. There is a Bourbon dynasty. There is justice in this world. To the victors go the spoils. New Orleans is a meaty city.

No one ever says their visit to New Orleans too long. It is always too short because the longer you are here, the more you’ll realize how much more there is to discover and explore. I always say that five nights is the perfect amount of time to get a satisfying taste of New Orleans. More is always better.
