This locale is perfect for big-time foodies and couples who'll appreciate the rat-a-tat-tat beats of jazz’s birthplace. Whether you're looking to get away this fall or during the holiday months, New Orleans will lure you in with its Cajun and Creole fare and great music. Sure, you’re going to stroll along Bourbon Street to experience the sights and sounds of this historical street which teems with partygoers during Mardi Gras. But here are some other places worth checking out!
--Donna’s: This bar and grill is a "real" New Orleans experience. It's been nominated by Rolling Stone as the best club to hear live music in New Orleans. Located in the historical French Quarter, they even serve home-style cooking to match your musical appetite.
--Café du Monde: Dating back to 1862, this French Market coffee stand is a must for beignets (square French-style doughnuts with powdered sugar) and coffee which is either served black or au lait (mixed half-and-half with hot milk).
--Johnny's Po' Boys: Don’t even think about visiting Louisiana without sampling po’boy shops. This favorite New Orleans hangout serves over 45 different varieties of the submarine sandwich which consists of meat or seafood (usually fried) and is served on baguette-like French bread.
