Map of New Orleans  

Tourism  
No U.S. city celebrates indulgence like New Orleans. And often you can smell it, the unmistakable scent of last night's party on Bourbon Street.

In New Orleans, the food has more spice and more calories, the music is funkier and ends later, and the local characters are a little more colorful. In what other U.S. city would a voodoo priestess be buried next to the mayor's family? Or funerals be celebrated with a jazz band and a street dance?

These excesses and peculiarities will enchant anyone with a penchant for the romantic, the spiritual, the beautiful or the unusual.
