Things to do in New Orleans

New Orleans is unlike any other American city, shaped by French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and Creole influences that show up in its architecture, its music and above all its food. Tourism and conventions are central to the economy, but so are the Port of New Orleans, the energy companies that run offshore operations in the Gulf, shipbuilding, Tulane University and a large healthcare sector led by Ochsner Health. The city’s calendar is packed with festivals, from Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival to major sporting events at the Caesars Superdome.

    French Quarter

    The city’s oldest neighborhood is known for wrought-iron balconies, Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, Bourbon Street’s nightlife and the antique shops and galleries of Royal Street.

  2. 02

    The National WWII Museum

    Founded by historian Stephen Ambrose, this sprawling museum covers the war with immersive exhibits, aircraft hanging in a pavilion and the 4D film Beyond All Boundaries.

  3. 03

    Garden District

    Ride the St. Charles Avenue streetcar to this neighborhood of grand 19th-century mansions and gardens, with Commander’s Palace and Magazine Street’s shops nearby.

    In the Marigny, just beyond the French Quarter, small clubs such as the Spotted Cat and Snug Harbor offer live jazz, brass bands and blues nightly.
