Back when my husband and I were dating we went to to New Orleans for a long weekend. We had an amazing time seeing the sites, visiting voodoo shops, and touring the cemeteries. But our absolute favorite thing to do there was eat. I think we might have had four or five meals a day just so we could try as many restaurants as possible. If you are interested in going there my friend Lauren has some great city guides on where to go and what to do you can check out here.
