TRAVEL -- Fall In Love With New Orleans All Over Again

By Mary Stephan
Travel Escapes

If you have not been to New Orleans lately, it is time to rediscover the city. New Orleans has a lot to offer if you are looking for a weekend getaway with your girlfriends, a family vacation or a romantic long weekend with your spouse. There is plenty to do for everyone in the Big Easy. World class dining, fun & unique watering holes and dance clubs, history, culture, arts, antiques, music, play dress up at Mardi Gras World, and drink café au lait at Café du Monde and watch the world go by.


Take a ride on a paddle wheel steamboat down the mighty Mississippi River, stroll along the River, shop till you drop, take a walking ghost tour, visit the World War II Museum, walk in the footsteps of pirates. New Orleans is back and better than ever!


(Editor's Note: The benets at Cafe du Monde are killer!!)
