When I decided that travel was going to be my biggest goal of life as a single woman, New Orleans topped my list of places in the United States. The thought that I could be caught by the surprise of live music on any street at any time or the idea that I could possibly have the best food dish I will ever have were good enough reasons to make a trip to NOLA happen.

Let’s talk about what is obviously the most important part of visiting New Orleans- the grub. Aside from music, the city is known for the endless options of amazing flavor and variety. Most of the food is creole or cajun inspired, which is a blend of many different cultures so when you eat in New Orleans, you’re literally getting a taste of history.
