New Orleans is one of those cities that can't really be explained. If you've ever been, you know exactly what I'm talking about! If you've never been... What are you waiting for?! The culture, the food, the history... there's really no place else like it! And while 24 hours is barely even enough time to scratch the surface of "The Big Easy", it doesn't take long to figure out why it's one of America's favorite cities! In this itinerary, we lay out our most recent trip with everything we did ate and saw, plus a whole lot more! So if you're trying to plan your next trip to New Orleans, you've come to the right place!
