Gay Travel Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans has style. There’s no denying it. It has a chilled-out, anachronistic style, like that of your average local jazz musician. Sure, it’s a bit rough around the edges, but that’s all part of its slow Southern charm. Whether you’re walking down Bourbon Street with a drink in hand or perusing the boutiques of Magazine Street, New Orleans’s youthful energy is truly palpable. “The Big Easy” is best known for Mardi Gras, voodoo, Cajun/Creole cuisine, jazz, a rambunctious nightlife centered around its French Quarter, distinctive Spanish/French influenced architecture, and the rather edgy rule of being able to take your alcoholic beverage out on the street. It's also a city with a lot of history, having passed hands between France and Spain before the United States laid claim to it and, sadly, being the center of the U.S. slave trade before the Civil War. As such, it’s a bubbling melting pot of influences, from the aforementioned Spanish and French influences to African-American, and that of the nearby Caribbean. All are evident in its food, architecture, and people.
