City Guide: New Orleans

     New Orleans, the "Big Easy", a cultural melting pot more recently marked by the ravages of Hurricane Katrina.

     But, this is a city that is not letting disaster stand in the way of a good time.

     New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, but is often referred to as the northernmost Caribbean city injected with elements of African, Spanish, French and Italian.

     Time moves slowly here and that laid-back attitude is bound to rub off on you.

- The world-renowned French Quarter

- Bourbon Street and it's loud and vibrant nightlife St Charles Avenue

- The historic Pontchartrain Hotel

- Magazine Street with its antique and boutique stores

     But beyond the attractive architecture New Orleans is a city renowned for its hedonistic culture.
