French Quarter is so much more than Bourbon St. and Mardi Gras!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I never thought I'd visit New Orleans, but ended up going for a business trip. Part of the trip included a terrific walking tour of the French Quarter (Historic New Orleans Tours). The architecture, history, food and music exceeded my expectations. I happened to be there the week before Fat Tuesday, during Mardi Gras. It was actually quite fun, not nearly as crazy as I anticipated. The blues band at Sing Sing is fantastic! I learned so much about this city and the mark it has made on American history. Even "post-Katrina" it is a place worth visiting (especially now!). In fact, I can't wait to go back... maybe for the Jazz Festival. Put New Orleans and the French Quarter on your places to visit.

Pros: History, Architecture, Food

Cons: Don't walk alone at night
