Grabbing a beer to-go while hopping from one venue to the next, where some of the world's best musicians are playing to intimate crowds; a sculpture garden all to yourself; a plate of jambalaya that tastes like it's been perfected over generations one day, modern Israeli fare that will make you question everything you know about hummus the next. If any of that sounds good to you, we've got you covered on this episode of Travelogue, in which we talk all things New Orleans. The Crescent City can be overwhelming to the uninitiated—there's just so much to do, eat, drink, see, and hear, and far too often visitors spend three days in the admittedly quaint and fun French Quarter and call it a day. From a neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown of the city to the best places to check out some local music (see: everywhere), we make New Orleans just a little easier to navigate.
