The Streets and Eats of New Orleans
In a town known for its street parties and fantastic cookery, it's not hard to collect a few memorable images. The Crescent City is just such a place. Her justly earned reputations for heartbreak and romance, mystery and discovery, set the stage perfectly for a day of pavement-hopping, picture-shooting, and window shopping. And, heck, while you’re here and since this is “The City that Care Forgot” ... why not sit a bit and sample the local fare?

Oh, how we Southerners love to eat. We have too many local favorites to count. Who among us hasn’t bought boiled peanuts from a roadside stand in Georgia? No self-respecting Texan would pass up the humongous chicken-fried steak at Lulu’s Bakery & Cafe in San Antonio, while Kentuckians opt for the cheesy-good Hot Brown at Louisville’s The Brown Hotel. Folks in Baltimore swear by the crab cakes at Faidley’s, but a beignet at Café Du Monde in the Crescent City wins, hands down--and sticky sweet--as the region’s ultimate indulgence.
