Why New Orleans?

There’s no denying New Orlean’s stunning architecture, delicious cuisine, soulful music and air of supernatural mystique wouldn’t exist without the city’s historic Black community. Visit the unmissable Tremé – the oldest continuously occupied Black neighborhood in the United States. Stop by Congo Square and the Backstreet Cultural Museum to listen to the birth of jazz, debunk misconceptions of Voodoo, and learn about NOLA’s significant role in the Civil Rights movement. End the afternoon enjoying mouthwatering shrimp clemenceau and other Creole staples at the family-owned Dooky Chase Restaurant.
