New Orleans- An Eccentric City That Never Sleeps

I am a solo traveler, and I believed that love comes hard to me. I never fell in love until I reached New Orleans. I have traveled across several cities but never came across a city like New Orleans. I instantly fell in love with this city. It is an absolute delight to be here. I am very grateful that I visited here. And I would suggest everyone take some time and visit this eccentric city.

New Orleans is a city located in the southeast region of Louisiana, USA. It is a tiny city on the map, but even a three-day plan would feel short once you reach here. I have spent a month here in New Orleans but could not realize the time pass by. I have already made plans to settle in New Orleans. New Orleans’s vibe is just so lively, with good food, good music, beautiful houses, vibrant streets, and whole night-long nightlife in Bourbon Street.

The weather of New Orleans is perfect for vacation round the year. The summers are hot and humid with slight rainfall, and winters are cold but not cold enough to avoid tourism. New Orleans experience heavy tourism throughout the year.

I belong to a family where my mom is Spanish, and she would have loved this place. It is known for the French Quarter made of Spanish and French architecture. New Orleans is also famous for its festivals and annual functions. The most popular is the Mardi Gras, or the Fat Tuesday celebrated before Ash Wednesday. It is a very massive celebration in the entire city. I could be a part of it during my stay. All the peoples are on the streets and parading with bright colors and celebrating, dancing singing on New Orleans’s streets. They cook the best cuisines in every household. People from nearby cities also drive here for the festival so all the hotels, restaurants, bars are stuffed with people. Luckily I had booked my stay before the festival.

The cost of living in New Orleans is marginally lower than the rest of the USA. And also the stay and food are comparatively lower. So you would not spend much. I would suggest planning a minimum of seven-day plan to explore the entire city, and it would also be very affordable. New Orleans has some of the most unique and amazing places to visit-

1. The National World War II Museum.
2. Jackson Square.
3. Preservation Hall.
4. Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve.
5. St. Louis Cathedral.

And two most unique things that I had never heard of or seen before that took me by surprise were New Orleans Pharmacy Museum and the Old New Orleans Rum Distillery.

New Orleans is home to some of the oldest cuisines of America. I have never tasted them before; I have grown up with pizza, burgers, hotdog, bacon, and cheese. But the cuisine of New Orleans was unique and delicious. I am carrying back some of them back home for my mom to cook for me. Some of the dishes that tempted my taste-buds were-

1. Bananas Foster.
2. Crawfish.
3. Gumbo.
4. Muffaletta.

I am looking forward to revisiting New Orleans next year at the same time to enjoy the Mardi Gras, which is also the best time to visit New Orleans, i.e., February to May. I have made some great friends, people around the city are amicable and helpful. After such a great experience, my eagerness to wait for the next year has multiplied several times more. New Orleans is just love. Also, I would suggest you to book your tickets through Allegiant Airlines Reservations, they will make your journey so much fun and comfortable to New Orleans. Make sure to visit at least once and experience the vibe and energy it gives out.
