Attractions of New Orleans
The French Quarter of the city still keeps the beautiful architecture so there is still a lot left for a great restart. The Cajun cuisine is still part of the major attractions in the city. The taste is unforgettable for some, and indeed a must-try for the rest who haven’t eaten any yet. The Cajun cuisine has prevailed because the music, food, and festivities are deep-seated in the heart of New Orleans. People keep on coming back for more of the fun and free-spirited appeal of New Orleans.
The major come-on activities like paddlewheel cruises on the Mississippi River, carriage rides through the French Quarter and business district, ferry rides, Steamboat Natchez, swamp and specialty tours are all open for people looking to enjoy music and cruising.
The world-famous Mardi Gras celebrations start on January 6 and last until Shrove Tuesday. During this time there are parties and lots of parades. But even after the Mardi Gras, party continues to roll in the historic French Quarter what with its jazz bars and sumptuous meals.
