"Where everything started" New Orleans by ARoman

New Orleans Travel Guide: 4,850 reviews and 7,054 photos

If you like jazz music, what do you think would be your feeling to find yourself in the exact same tile where everything started?

It was so special to sit on those planks among the walls that first listen to it. In the Preservation Halls everything is still like in those days, and those good old boys that play jazz for the tourists will remain dear in my memories.

Then, get out and walk around the French Quarter to see if somebody else decide to play for you. Watch in the picture above what I enjoyed on the main square.

And when you get hungry after that, just look for the next creole restaurant and enjoy your gumbo and some crawfish entouffe. Not as spicy as cajun ones, but lovably mild.

Don't even mention if you get thirsty. In New Orleans it is just not possible.

PS: I do have some nice pics and places to suggest, so come back to see more.
