The sound of saxophones can be heard all over the French Quarter, and LGBT nightlife is abundant – you'll never get bored. “The Vieux Carre,' which translates to 'the old square,” is filled with opportunities to sample great food, from a fantastic “po boy” from a simple stand to five-star restaurants serving exceptional Creole and French cuisine. When we think of New Orleans, we all think of the French Quarter, as we should. Mardi Gras, jazz and amazing food! New Orleans is a major tourist destination not just in Louisiana, but the whole United States, for so many reasons.
