WHY NEW ORLEANS?
Only because it’s one of the most fascinating cities in America, that’s why.
In all my years of travel, I’ve always maintained that there are only a handful of cities in the U.S. that are thoroughly unique.
Of course, every place is unique technically, but what I mean by that is you’d be hard pressed to tell me the difference between Florence, S.C., and Darlington, S.C., if you were to drive through them. Or for that matter Sumter, S.C. Though they’re different from each other, they’re not substantially different. They’re Podunk little towns in South Carolina that have nothing to distinguish them except the road that luckily leads you out of them to some more interesting place. (I know. I lived in a town like that when I was a kid. Never again.)
New Orleans is not a town you can say that about.
With its rich cultural diversity (going back to the 1600s) that mixes in the French, the African, the Creole, the Spanish—and a lot of other influences—New Orleans is a fragrant stew of Life.
This is the birthplace of Jazz, which dates back to around 1910. I’ve always found it puzzling why Jazz is so unknown to younger audiences. It’s such an American institution, but it doesn’t seem to have found its place among the younger audiences today.
Since Katrina, there have been lots of great new restaurants that have opened, giving the city a food scene that rivals in richness what famous Southern chefs are doing in places like Charleston and Savannah.
And while you’re sure to head straight to the French Quarter if this is your first visit, be sure to explore the Garden District if just to see the fabulous houses. You’ll wish you lived in one of them.
Next to the French Quarter is the Central Business District (CBD) where the Superdome is located along with lots of museums.
Crime has gone up since Katrina, so you want to beware of certain areas. Ask your hotel or host if you have any questions. Most tourist areas are safe, however. Beware of hustles and pickpockets.
Also, there’s a local saying, Nothing good happens in the Quarter after midnight,
and it’s true. The bouncers and other security personnel in the clubs can be really nasty when dealing with drunks, and many have been sent to the hospital. Do not argue with them. You will not win.
Even with all my warnings, don’t let me give you the impression you should think twice about coming here. You’d be crazy not to visit New Orleans if you have the chance. Arriving here always sends your senses into overdrive, into a fever pitch, whether it’s your first time here or your tenth or thirtieth.
The uncomfortable muggy summer is the season that for me evokes the true sense of New Orleans. There’s something about the town that makes you feel air conditioning
is wrong. (Although it’s a blessed relief to have it—I’m just talking metaphorically.) You wonder how people ever lived in the vortex of sweat and the smell of rotting tropical plants.
Those smells.
The humidity.
The jasmine.
The wrought iron grilles adorning the houses.
The smell of fried seafood.
The different dialects.
The St. Charles Avenue streetcar, still un-air-conditioned after all these years with its open windows and wooden benches.
The cemeteries that are more eerie than any others.
The music,
