New Orleans bounces to its own brass band beat. Newer arrivals from places like Vietnam and Honduras are adding their own style. Over that time, Africans, Choctaw Indians, Haitians, Sicilians, Spaniards, Germans, French, Croatians and many other individuals have stirred the melting pot. The Crescent City’s rich history dates back more than three centuries. Food is synonymous with identity here, one that all New Orleanians hold equally regardless of race or class. Everyone’s mom or grandma makes the best gumbo, and - yes - they do want to talk about it. Excess is the order of the day, whether you’re a first-timer hunting for cheap beads and bad booze on Bourbon Street or a lifer deciding what to order on your po’ boy. New Orleans is a city built on joie de vivre.
