Mardi Gras

Today, just days after the city’s football team the Saints defied the odds to win become Super Bowl champions, I’m taking a look at New Orleans. I lived in New Orleans for six years between 1994 and 2001, and it’s one of my favorite places to visit (see my other faves here). I try to go down at least once a year – this year my trip will be in June for a friend’s wedding. And honestly, I wish I was going sooner because the city is having a banner year. Here are 5 reasons why you should plan a trip to New Orleans in 2010.

One way to help New Orleans is to be a tourist and spend money. But for those who can’t visit, there’s an easy way to enjoy the flavor of Mardi Gras, and put money into local businesses. It’s called a King Cake.
