A step inside the New Orleans Jazz Museum – the historic building built in 1835 to serve as a U.S. Mint – will quickly reveal its current purpose: to promote the global understanding of jazz as one of the most innovative, historically pivotal musical art forms in world history. Located at the foot of Esplanade Avenue near Frenchmen Street, renowned for its vibrant live music scene, the New Orleans Jazz Museum is where visitors and locals flock to discover the captivating history of jazz in the city where it was born.

New Orleans, Louisiana, is a city steeped in history, culture, and a sense of the supernatural. Known for its vibrant music scene, delicious cuisine, and unique architecture, it also boasts a rich array of ghostly tales, folklore about vampires and werewolves, and the mysticism of voodoo. A haunted ambiance hangs heavy in the air, intertwining the city's cultural heritage with its spectral legends.

As summer loosens its grip and the first cool breezes sweep through the Quarter, New Orleans shifts into one of its most beloved rhythms, football watch parties, weekend festivals and that seasonal craving for bold, satisfying bites.

In a city where no dish is ever truly “standard,” steak, burgers, and brews become a canvas for local flair, elevated technique, and a generous pour of Southern hospitality. From smoky chargrilled masterpieces to burgers layered with unexpected decadence, these spots offer more than just comfort food, they’re fall traditions in the making.
