To continue the top five things I love about this wonderful city: 3. French Quarter (Vieux Carré) On our second day, we got up early to grab some more - ehem - beignets at Café Du Monde and ended up just walking around the French Quarter after breakfast. I loved this time of the day as there were relatively fewer tourists on the streets and we got to explore the many interesting sights, shops, and architecture around the area. I don't know what it is about the French Quarter that entices people. It's not the cleanest. At night, it can be full of drunk people. Some streets have a funky smell. And yet, I find it so beautiful, and quaint, and interesting. 4. Mississippi River Cruise We try to take a cruise in every city we go to as a way to relax and see the city from a different perspective. In NOLA, we took the Daytime Jazz Cruise aboard the Steamboat Natchez. In true steamboat style, we cruised down the mighty Mississippi River and enjoyed the afternoon relaxing and having a few drinks onboard. And because we're in New Orleans - the home of Louis Armstrong - what's a daytime cruise without some live jazz music playing. And finally...
Where else in the world can you take the time off to eat some awesome beignet and drink iced coffee while listening to a live music?
