NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unusual dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably the Mardi Gras. The historic center of the city is the French Quarter known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street.
Louisiana Voodoo is widely practiced; Marie Laveau known as the Voodoo Queen is buried in the cemetery, another spot worth visiting. The Cajun-Zydeco Festival is a yearly event held in Armstrong Park.
