N'Awlins by valleysailor

my favorite place on this planet so far! Won a weekend in the penthouse at Windsor Court Hotel, limo, dinner in the Grill Room – everything! Also spent a week there last April (2010) for the French Quarter Festival which is much more fun, less expensive, and less crowded but with richer local entertainment than Jazz Fest. It is a local’s favorite.

If you get to NOLA, be sure to enjoy a ferry ride across the Big Muddy on either the Algiers or Gretna ferry, both running from Canal St.

Best Place on Earth by LWood2277

I’m originally from there and I love my city. There’s no place like it anywhere. I moved away after hurricane Katrina and got such a good job in Los Angeles that I probably won’t be moving back any time soon but I visit as often as I can. Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest are the 2 best times to visit but Burbon St. is fun any night of the week. Decataur also has some great bars but if you want the local hangouts go to Frnchman st. or Magazine st. I recommend the Maple Bar on Magazine as well as Jaquamos for some of the best food you’ll ever have.
