New Orleans, Louisiana has replaced San Francisco as my favorite city in the US!
The place is filled with tourists, every single day of the year, especially the historic French Quarter. We stayed with a couch surfer who lives in Uptown New Orleans, an area with beautiful 19th century properties and some huge plantation-esque mansions. Our host lent us two bicycles and we cycled through quiet lanes, parks and along the Mississippi. In the evening, Frenchman Street is the place to be because that's where you can find amazing jazz music. We've been to a couple of bars and saw some musicians play and honestly, they were all really, really good. And I'm not even a jazz fan. But also in the streets, you'll find some very good musical surprises!
Even though it's been seven years, hurricane Katrina's destruction is still visible in some areas.
