New Orleans cuisine consists of an amalgam of French, Spanish, African, Cuban, Italian, and Cajun cooking traditions and practices. Local dishes such as gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee, and blackened fish can be found here.
The Big Easy is known as the birthplace of Jazz. You can find some of the best live music, not only in the French Quarter, but also on the outskirts such as Frenchmen St. and in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhoods.
Outside of food and music, New Orleans still retains its old world charm and customs. There are museums such as the Hermann-Grima and Gallier Historic Houses in the French Quarter that offer visitors a glimpse into life in the 19th century.
