Robert Bertel is a Louisiana native who is well-versed in all of the charming aspects of New Orleans culture that keep visitors coming in throughout the year. While many who are less familiar with the city often relate it to its most popular event, Mardi Gras, Robert Bertel likes to remind people that NOLA is a great destination year-round for the following things:
Food
Food is an essential cultural element to many tourist destinations, however none do it as well as New Orleans. You can start your day with beignets and coffee at an outdoor café, and then indulge in gumbo and a number of other Cajun specialties in the lunchtime. For dinner, a plate of crawfish and some oysters on the half shell are a guaranteed good way to start the evening.
Music
The sounds of live jazz music pour out the doorways of New Orleans’s most popular clubs and onto the streets, where wanderers can also get a little more rhythm to their step. And more times than not, one will also encounter a talented street band showing off their skills.
Voodoo
One of the cultures most unique to New Orleans is the voodoo culture that shows its face scattered all over the city’s most popular, and most desolate streets.
