Top 10 Flavors to Savor in New Orleans:

1.   Enjoy live Cajun and Zydeco music at Michaul’s Live Cajun Music Restaurant, complete with free Cajun dance instruction and authentic, delicious Cajun food.

2.   Hunt for 18th and 19th century English, Continental, Oriental, and French treasures in the antique galleries along Royal Street.

3.   Tee off at Audubon Golf Course, where oaks draped in Spanish moss create a canopy over the fairway 175 yards from the tee at the fourth hole.

4.   Tour the city in a mule-drawn carriage, the swamps in an airboat, and the Mississippi in a paddlewheeler.

5.   Lend a hand by “voluntouring” to help the city of New Orleans in its recovery and restoration.

6.   Take an Old River Road Plantation Tour through Cypress swamps to Oak Alley antebellum mansion and Laura, San Francisco, or Evergreen Plantations.

7.   Revel in the night life: From street performers to opera, comedy to cabaret, neon lights to moonlight, New Orleans offers entertainment for everyone.

8.   Whether in the heart of downtown or floating on a riverboat, try your luck at one of the city’s world-class casinos.

9.   Pay homage to the Encierro of Pamplona, Spain at San Fermin in Nueva Orleans, a three-day festival culminating in The Running of the Bulls on July 10, 2010.  No need to worry – these bulls are members of New Orleans’ all-female derby team, the Big Easy Rollergirls.

10. Get a real taste for New Orleans at more than 1,000 restaurants.  While the city is known for its Cajun, Creole, and French cuisines, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Mediterranean, Asian, and New Orleans Fusion restaurants make their own delicious contributions to this gourmet’s paradise.
