New Orleans (72-Hour Guide)

New Orleans was the third stop on an epic seven-week cross country road trip I took in May. The largest city in Louisiana known for it's French and Spanish Creole architecture and influences, the city became an instant favorite. From its walkability, picturesque pastel house-lined streets, and some of the best food you've ever had-- New Orleans is where history meets cool, and we can't have enough of it.
