New Orleans
USA
New Orleans is America's most foreign city: the French Quarter's iron-lace balconies, live jazz spilling from Frenchmen Street's clubs, beignets at Café du Monde, creole cuisine at two centuries deep, and cemetery-and-voodoo history unlike anywhere else. Eat, listen, wander, repeat.
