New Orleans, overlooking the Mississippi, is the most fun that can be had in one place on the GRR. Something for everyone, from the Insectarium and World War II Museum, to the endless party on Bourbon Street, to the genteel mansions seen while riding the St. Charles Streetcar, and the great music everywhere.
