New Orleans is an absolute must see. I suggest going before Mardi Gras, to one of the many other events and parades that go one throughout the months before Mardi Gras. My opinion, I think Bourbon Street to be over-rated. Go with a local if you have one, and see the lesser known hidden treasures.
- Cafe Dumond – eat beignets!
- One of the many cemeteries, maybe take a guided tour
