February winter blues have you in a rut? Get on down to New Orleans, known as 'The Big Easy' for a little stimulation. Colorful voodoo masks, tantalizing aromas of chicory coffee and sweet beignets, music seeping out of every nook and corner and if you're in town for Mardi Gras, the big daddy of New Orleans attractions, the tightly packed crowds in a state of frenzied indulgence. New Orleans attractions are guaranteed to warm your senses.
During Mardi Gras, New Orleans hotels welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors a year looking for some fun in "The City that Care Forgot". The Latin Quarter, in and of itself one of the more popular New Orleans attractions, becomes flooded with people. New Orleans hotels located near Bourbon Street get the best vantage point of the roaring festivities. Women under the influence tend to expose themselves from balconies in exchange for beads to the roaring pleasure of their admirers below. On that note, parents should probably leave their kids at home since Mardi Gras isn't really a New Orleans family attraction. Afraid you might forget the blast you had at Mardi Gras? Mosey on over to the French Market to pick up some voodoo doll souvenirs to remind both you and your friends that you really were there. The Jazz Festival is one of the other top New Orleans attractions definitely worth checking out.
