with history, food, voodoo, music, and so
much more. One of the best ways to
explore all that this one-of-a-kind metropolis has to offer is through its extensive
tour options. Set aside time to experience
the city in a brand new way through a
number of lenses, from swamps, cemeteries, and ghosts, to the French Quarter,
plantations, and more. After taking in
NOLA via foot, Segway, or bus, be sure
to check out these city staples:
n Beignet pastries and cafe au lait
(Café du Monde)
n Street performances, from music to
acrobatics to human statues
(French Quarter)
n Po' boy sandwiches (Parkway Bakery
& Tavern)
n Live jazz (Preservation Hall)
n Oysters and freshly boiled crawfish
