Here’s an idea for a spontaneous weekend away in New Orleans: book a ticket for any one of the many plays and musicals on stage this month (shows are back with a vengeance after Carnival’s break!), find a room at one of our beautiful bed and breakfast inns, and come and spend a delightful few […]

Hello! Carnival and the magic of Mardi Gras may be behind us for another year. Here in New Orleans, however, the end of the biggest free party on Earth just means the beginning of another spring, full of festivals and events.
