New Orleans
The things that make life worth living eating, drinking and the making of merriment are the air that New Orleans breathes.
When it comes to food, New Orleans does not fool around. Well, OK, it does: its playful attitude to ingredients and recipes mixes (for example) alligator sausage and cheesecake into a dessert fit for the gods. But it creates this mind-bendingly rich food with enterprise, innovation and a dedication to perfecting one of the USAs great indigenous cuisines; it's a culinary aesthetic that will have you snoring in the happiest of food comas afterwards.
We're not exaggerating when we say there is either a festival or a parade every week of the year in New Orleans. Sometimes, such as during Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest, it feels like theres a new party for every hour of the day. At almost any celebration in town, people engage in masking donning a new appearance via some form of costuming while acting out the satyric side of human behavior. But the celebrations and rituals of New Orleans are as much about history as hedonism, and every dance is as much an expression of tradition and community spirit as it is of joy.
New Orleans is the hometown of jazz, but neither the city nor the genre she birthed are musical museum pieces. Jazz is the root of American popular music, the daddy of rock, brother of the blues and not-too-distant ancestor of hip-hop all styles of music that have defined the beat of global pop for decades. All these varieties of music, plus a few you may never have heard of, are practiced and played here on every corner, in any bar, every night of the week. Live music isnt an event: its as crucial to the city soundscape as the streetcar bells.
There arent many places in the USA that wear their history as openly on their sleeves as New Orleans. This citys very facade is an architectural study par excellence. And while Boston and Charleston can boast beautiful buildings, New Orleans has a lived-in, cozy feeling thats easily accessible. As a result of its visible history you'll find a constant, often painful, dialogue with the past, stretching back hundreds of years. It's a history that for all its controversy has produced a street culture that can be observed and grasped in a very visceral way.
By Adam Karlin, Author
New Orleans is all about beauty and experiencing the divine through mortal senses. Theres joy here, from great food to the best concert of your life, and serenity, found in the shade between live oaks or while watching fireflies on Bayou St John. Whichever way of being I choose for the day, New Orleans indulges me. Basically, I like traveling with soft eyes eyes that see as a child, with wonder. This town gives me soft eyes the moment I step out the door.
Looks arent always skin deep. In New Orleans the architectural skin is integral to the city's spirit and gives an undeniably distinctive sense of place. What immediately sets New Orleans apart from the USA is the architecture of the Creole faubourgs (Fo-burgs), or . This includes the shaded porches of the French Quarter, of course, but also filigreed Marigny homes, candy-colored Bywater cottages and the grand manses of Esplanade Ave. Look down the streets in these areas and you'll know, intuitively and intensely, that you are in New Orleans.
