Voodoo, jazz funerals, jambalaya. I love the fact that the French Quarter manages to be a tourist trap while still feeling genuinely sketchy, in a way that's been gentrified out of most northern cities.
And, of course, you get all these amenities while also being in the Southern US weight class. I wish I had more opportunities to spend time there.
