New Orleans's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near French Quarter and Jackson Square and Frenchmen Street live music, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Bacchanal Fine Wine and Spirits — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
New Orleans is a city where music drifts from every doorway, wrought-iron balconies drip with ferns, and the aroma of Cajun and Creole cooking fills the air. Walking the French Quarter and beyond reveals a city unlike anywhere else in America.
