I took a four-day trip to New Orleans earlier this month, and believe it or not, I had never been before.
I went with a friend and the first day we explored and took a wonderful and informative tour of the French Quarter with Frank Perez, who shared its diverse and rich history. Some of the highlights were the William Faulkner bookshop and the house where Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire. The rest of the time we roamed the streets of the Bywater and Marigny, admiring the quirky cottage houses, and the Garden District with its historical mansions. We also ate well, tasting all the local foods including muffuletta, gumbo, and Po’boys. One night we went to Frenchmen Street, lined with the top blues and jazz clubs in New Orleans, and saw blues legend Little Freddie King at the DBA club.
I loved the colorful doors, stairways, and porches of the New Orleans houses with seasonal decorations for fall and Thanksgiving and some were already decorated for Christmas.
