I was recently invited to a Media Tour in New Orleans that starts this Friday, and I wanted to do a small expectations entry which will serve as a point of reference to compare to when I actually experience this alluring city for the first time.
I picture music playing all day, every day, spicy smells wafting through the air, and an energy that is palpable. I definitely plan to try the requisite po' boys, beignets, and for some reason I suspect that a New Orleans Bloody Mary will be spicy and delicious.
I also was surprised to see on Travel + Leisure today that a neighborhood in New Orleans was voted one of the topic 12 neighborhoods in America, so I hope to have time to check it out during my stay as well.
I have traveled throughout the South, and I am excited that New Orleans will help me have a more complete picture of everything the South has to offer.
