Where else in the world can you buy beer in a drive through on the way to a LSU football game and then grab some crawfish? Where else would you want to? I will personally always remember a time when a fraternity brother almost got beaten up by a street performer because he was drunk and getting too close to the guy with a cigarette. The vibe there is alive and the people are more honestly hospitable than anywhere else in the south. While Mardi Gras and hurricane’s (both the drink and the damaging weather pattern) are how most people think of New Orleans, I think of Jazz Fest and the food. There are few cities that can compete with New Orleans in terms of unique and amazing cuisine. And none have quite the same twist as in New Orleans.
