The last time was a few years ago for my buddies bachelor party. We booked the trip without realizing it was Jazz Fest week. It was magical.
Stu---I completely agree. A wonderful city. Music, food and friendly people. Used to go to the House of Blues. Saw Buckwheat Zydeco, who I admit I had never heard of . Great show. Preservation Hall and street musicians right and left. Went to K-Pauls Louisianna Kitchen, when Paul Prudhomme was starting the Cajun cooking revolution. Emeril's, Commander's Palace joined by exciting new restaurants on a regular basis. Stay at the Dauphine Orleans in the French Quarter. A really fun hotel at a fair price. People have different tastes but I love this city.

“One of the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are unable to make a coherent argument. They can vent their emotions, question other people's motives, make bold assertions, repeat slogans—anything except reason.”
