New Orleans, day by day

New Orleans is a French and Spanish colonial grid on a bend of the Mississippi, with brass bands on the corners, above-ground tombs, streetcars under live oaks and a kitchen that belongs to no other American city. Start with three days that walk the French Quarter, cross into Tremé and the Garden District, and give a morning to the National WWII Museum, with the prices and hours the institutions publish for 2026.
